Earnings Not Shown For Your Hosted AdSense for Content?

It was April 01 and Google announced that YouTube was just a contest and is closing down and will stop taking entries further!

Well, we all knew it was a April Fool Prank 🙂 and then, Hosted AdSense for Content’s earnings stopped showing inside Adsense account, making people think YouTube shutdown might be a real thing.

To clear everything: YouTube shutdown was just a April Fool Prank.

Hosted AdSense for Content
You’re able to see the impressions, clicks but no earnings. Why?
That is because, all these stats and your earning details along with many more stats are now available inside YouTube Analytics.

If you still want to look at the earnings from inside your adsense account:
Goto Performance Reports tab.
In the left side sidebar, click on the Products link.
Now click on Hosted AdSense for Content.
Look at the top right corner, change the date and fetch the Hosted AdSense for Content stats and earning details.

YouTube Analytics
For details like, video impressions, time of video being watched, drop rate, earnings, subscription, unsubscription rates etc, look at YouTube Analytics.

Earnings information in AdSense reports
You can find finalized earnings within your AdSense account. A link with specific earnings details will be posted to your Payment History page if your account has reached your payment threshold.

To see your YouTube payments:
Sign in to your AdSense account.
Select Payments on the left sidebar.
Look for “Earnings – YouTube” in each month to see your YouTube earnings for that month. This will include YouTube AdSense earnings (formerly listed as “AdSense for Content host”).
Other reports in AdSense, such as the performance reports, will not include your YouTube earnings. To view your detailed YouTube financial performance, including daily estimated earnings, please visit YouTube Analytics.

If it’s important, you’ll find a way

So often we encounter with situations wherein we don’t find a way to accomplish things.
We find ourselves in blocks! People name it depending on their work – writers block, creativity block, productivity block etc

My Own Story
I was so much pumpedup with the idea of working online and making huge money to live a life with ultimate financial freedom 🙂

Read some success stories, took notes from their success stories: by then I knew, taking action is the key! Couldn’t wait to get started. I had all these wonderful ideas for blog posts. Wrote all those articles one after the other continuously and then started checking the stats and even replied to those spam comments, which said, I’m not able to subscribe to your blog etc 😛

After some days I had no more ideas to write. (I was new to blogging)
Later on switched topics. As human beings, we’ve interests in wide area of topics. So I had knowledge in other areas which I started sharing on my blog. Next again changed topic!

Later on, with experience learnt that sticking on to particular topic with a domain works out better!

Similar things happen in all the fields: Business, Personal life, Relationships etc

We set some expectations, we do something, we fail, and then we learn, next if we don’t quit- we excel.

Now I can almost write endlessly on the topics of my interest. I can see something special in everything I encounter, that I can share with my readers in a relevant manner.

“Once you master a craft you can recognize it in anything you do.”

Then what is this BLOCK people talk about ?
If it’s important to you, you’ll find a way. If not, you’ll find an excuse.

Possible Solution
Be solution oriented, and not problem oriented.

We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them. – Albert Einstein

Find out what you absolutely love doing:

Stop telling stories which support your excuses.
Know that it’s for your goodness that you need to find a way.
If you keep giving excuses you’ll be cheating no one but yourself.
Be conscious of your steps towards your goal: Take the first step first.
Don’t keep postponing things. Have proper strategies and execute your plans.

BuySellAds PRO gives you the tools to make the impossible possible. Build stuff that’s never been done before. Integrate ads into anything with our flexible ad serving API. The sky is the limit here – the larger the scale, the better.

Roadblocks / Takeovers
In their own words: A roadblock offers advertisers a chance to get a very focused burst of attention for an event, product launch, or just a general boost in their campaign by purchasing all of the impressions during a specific time period across one or more ad units. Using PRO, you can sell concentrated, timed bursts of traffic to advertisers while putting your other ads on hold automatically.

Most publishers only allow roadblocks one or two times per month to maintain their usual advertiser flow. The choice is up to you, and we’re happy to talk about best practices and implementation.

Site Skins
Advertiser can design the image which suites with the theme of the publisher, with the help of BSA Pro’s standard self-serve mechanism this image can be served as the background image of the site.

The skin is clickable, seamless, and premium!

Got confused with Google DFP? or was not able to get into DFP account due to some stupid error messages?

Transfer/Merge Your Google Plus Account

For whatever reason you want to transfer your Google+ account, follow below steps and you’re account will be transferred.

Transfer would take 7 days.
You can cancel transfer any time, after the transfer request and before the transfer.
After the transfer, you can’t initiate the transfer again for 6 months.

This tool transfers your Google+ circles and other connections from a “source” account to a “destination” account. It also replaces your source profile with your destination profile in other people’s circles. The source and destination accounts must have the same name.

The transfer begins 7 days after you request it. To cancel the transfer before it starts, sign in to either account on Google+ and click Cancel Transfer at the bottom of the page.

You cannot cancel a transfer from the mobile app.

Once the transfer begins, you’ll have limited access to Google+ on both accounts. Transfers typically take about 48 hours. After the transfer begins, you can’t stop or undo it. You can transfer your connections to or from a Google Account only once every 6 months.

After the transfer

When the transfer is complete, your circles, blocks, and ignores are copied from the source account to the destination account. Circles in the destination account with the same names are merged. Content from your source account (such as profile information, posts, or comments) is not transferred to the destination account. Similarly, authorship information and Google+ pages that you manage with your source account will not be transferred to the destination account. However, this content, pages, and authorship information still exist in your source account.

After the transfer is complete, your source account profile will still exist in your source account. However, it will be replaced with your destination account in other people’s circles. Don’t worry if you see that the number in the “Have you in circles” feature still shows that people have your source profile in their circles, as the count may take a few days to update. If you no longer need your source account Google+ profile, downgrade the profile associated with your source account and select Delete your entire Google+ profile. Before downgrading, we recommend downloading your Google+ data from your source account at Google Takeout. If you choose to keep your source account profile, to avoid confusion, you may want to delete any content (including posts, comments and photos) that was posted by the source account and uncheck the option that helps others to discover your profile in search results.

How-to Transfer your Google+ Account:
Goto Google Takeout

Select “Transfer your Google+ connections to another account” link.

Now provide both source and destination login credentials.

Click TRANSFER to request the transfer.

Within 7 days the transfer will be initiated. You’ll also receive a confirmation email to your destination email.
