If you participate in the Individual Video Program or a limited test of revenue sharing for your account, you receive revenue from advertising served by Google AdSense. This revenue shows up as AdSense for Content Host in your AdSense account.
If you participate in the YouTube Partner Program, your account receives revenue from two different types of advertising. One type is served by Google AdSense and the second is served directly by YouTube. Because of this, you will see two earnings entries per month within your AdSense Payment History. One entry will include earnings from AdSense for Content Host and any other Google AdSense product you may use, while the second entry will include earnings from YouTube.
This section describes how the payment cycle operates throughout the month, to give you a good idea of when and how your payment will arrive:
Earnings finalized: On the last day of each month, our system identifies all accounts that have reached the payment threshold. All the accounts that have reached the threshold are then sent for approval. Within the first 10 days of the month, a link with specific earnings details will be posted to your Payments page.
Payment issued: Towards the end of the month, a Payment issued line will be posted to your Payments page, indicating your payment has been calculated. At this time, we'll have your payment processed and sent to you.
Payment arrives: The time it takes for your payment to arrive depends on payment method you've selected.
* Standard delivery checks: generally arrive within 1-2 weeks of the mailing date in the U.S.; outside of the U.S. typically arrive in 2-6 weeks.
* Secure delivery checks: generally arrive in 5-7 days.
* EFT payments: should arrive in your bank account within 4-10 days.
* Western Union Quick Cash payments: available for pick-up at a local agent the day after they are issued.
* Rapida payments: available for pickup at your local post branch two business days after they are sent.
If there are any problems with your payment, a notice will be posted on your Payments page. If you haven't received your payment 60 days after it was issued, you can request a reissue.
