First Google AdSense Payment Received

This weekend marked a memorable landstone for me and my income earnings online. After spending a year blogging, I finally reached the $100 payout stage and received a Direct Deposit into my bank account. You can see the screenshot below (click on the thumbnail):

A few of you may be asking, how come it took so long to reach the barrier? Well, at first, traffic was very low (especially considering how I had a Blogger account), and this resulted in poor pageviews and a poor amount of clicks. $0.05-0.10 days were common, and most of the time I made nothing from my online efforts.

Then when my site reached its .com-ness, and it hit a 4 month old stage, I started to get money making opportunities from other areas. Advertisers such as TextLinkAds, Adbrite and ReviewMe started making more money for me than the notorious Adsense, so I thought it would be better to diversify my income. Its only in the past few months where my income alround has picked up, and each segment of my online earners have performed.

So how long till the next payment? Hopefully extremely soon, as I’m already a third of the way through until my next payout. Direct Debits are the dogs bits though, as I don’t even have to worry about cheque depositing!

Anyway, have any of you guys managed to crack open the $100 with Adsense? If so, how long did it take to reach the payout stage? Here’s to the next $100!
