Google AdSense participants are starting to discover that there is an issue pertaining to the reported earnings section of their accounts. As early as the 26^th day of January 2010, a contributor that is actively involved in the program reported an issue with the earnings statements. This was initially noticed among those using the popular website referred to as “Blogger”. The users of this website went to the tab identified as “Monetise” and noticed that the standard earnings that they received were not listed. Finally, on the 3^rd day of February, an individual directly from Google responded to the claims that this issue was occurring.

The Googler that actually responded to this issue was quoted in saying:

“Our engineers are aware of this issue and are working on a solution. In the meantime, you can access your earnings data by logging into AdSense directly.

I apologize for the inconvenience.”

At this point in the game, the Google time has not issued a statement pertaining to the estimated time that the issue will be resolved. However, they have set up a special forum on it in the “Google AdSense Help” section of their website. It has been established that AdSense participants are seeing a dash displayed in the area that typically reflects their earnings. Google has stated that while AdSense participants are not able to see their earnings in the tab that has been specified in this issue, they may see them by logging right into their AdSense account directly.

Many general users to the Google AdSense program are concerned that this is a site wide issue. Apparently, though, this seems to only be an issue associated with the participants of the Blogger website. In a nutshell, it appears to be a simple glitch – perhaps a programming issue between the two websites.
