In case you didnt know, you can now see your Adsense figures in GBP instead of USD

About bloody time G!

 

[alex]

Great! About time, thanks for the heads-up.

Mine still showing USD, do I need to make some changes somewhere?

 

[GreyWing]

Where it gives the hint and tips box on the first page is where I found mine to change it.

Brilliant change and much easier to track.

 

[seanh]

Hooray, all done. I've earnt the grand total of £1.00 so far today.

Anyone got a view (taxation wise) what difference being contracted with google ireland instead of google inc. will make?

They seem pretty sketchy themselves on the VAT treatment of adsense earnings if you are a non-ireland publisher.

 

[Alien]

Didn't know that, thanks for the info - it seems I can finally stop using online currency converters for it?! LOL.

 

[crabfoot]

I'm not HP with that, Frankly - it looked better in dollars!

 

[GreyWing]

I think it would look better in Zimbabwean dollars but at the end of the month the result will be the same mate :-D

Does the payout threshold stay at $100 though?

Does the payout threshold stay at $100 though?

I've just been looking through Google help and found: "Payment thresholds are based on the reporting currency in which your AdSense reports are displayed." If you scroll up there is all the currency threshold information.

The GBP Threshold is £60.

Good spot, cheers!

Changed both my adsense accounts to GBP yesterday.

Give it a couple of years and we will all need to switch it to Euros

If Mandy takes over from Brown it is inevitable

 

[jasman]

Its inevitable if the conservatives get in too. Both mandy and osborne are in the Bilderberg

I don't really care who gets in, as long as we join the Euro. It's long overdue

 

[crabfoot]

Er ... yes ... the euro is a really good idea, and as an idea I like it, but ...

The wider that market, the easier it is to utter forged notes. To offer some ball park figures I picked up from a journo a while back, it costs about £750k to get a pair of plates to print the dodgy money, then you need the right paper - and that costs a bit extra. Unless you own your own country, to justify the matter = and the Mafia own the republic of Domenica, so they can buy whatever they want legitimately, then do what they want with it.

In the days when all european nations had their own currency, forgery was simple economics. It cost about £800k to set up a forgery scam which would return £1.35m to £1.6m to the scammers. The technology has not advanced much, but the mafia have not intervened yet. That might be down to the parlous state of the European economy - don't kill the goose that lays golden eggs - but while we have to rely on paper notes to complete transactions, we are open to forgery as a hazard.

The euro has been a good idea for a long time - as long as forgery can be avoided. We have chip and pin security - let us have chip and pin banknotes to avoid the point where the mafia WILL step in and make money from the euro.

You do not have to be Einstein to do the sums - 18 countries are vulnerable to a direct attack, and 13 countries will give them about €8m for a €1m investment.

What's the choice - nuke Italy?

Craig, All Euro countries have their own version of the Euro. They all have country specific Euros. It's not just one big currency that can easily be forged. It's still a Euro but each country has it's own version. It's all worth the same in Euroland, but it does not all look the same. Almost identical, but there are small differences.

I was all for the UK joining the Euro initially, one of the main reasons I took up a job in Amsterdam in 2001. My original salary was in Guilders, then it switched to Euros. Back then it was about 65p to a Euro. Gone are the days LOL
