Saving up adsense rev, could I run into problems?

WaftyCrank · Jul 7, 2008

I've been saving up my adsense revenue for one site for the last few months.
It's breached the $700 mark now (not much I know) but I have never withdrawn from adsense yet.

I'm saving the money to put into a "domain" fund to pay for the domain renewals each two years.
Could i run into trouble from Google for allowing it to build up more than a certain amount?

I don't think that Google will mind if you let it build and build - they are earning interest on your money afterall.

The problem comes if they detect any strange clicking patterns on your sites/adverts. If they do, they will close your account and take your money - with no right of appeal!

If I were you I'd take it out monthly and put it in a savings account or similar.

Yes mate take it out an put it in a savings account, too many horror stories of google shutting accounts down.

I even get worried leaving funds in paypal for more than a week. Get it in your bank and its nice and safe

As above, I got to $2000 before I bottled it and took it as payment. Now I just take it every month. Id advise everyone to do the same.

Fair point by all. I'll stick it in the business savings account instead.

yeah i'd use the "business" account too - even more dubious is paypal accounts but mainly for the fact they have limited customer service, anyone delt with either company after things go wrong?
