Today is the 20th of the month

Normally you have until the 15th of each month to let Adsense know of any changes that you want to make to your account. If you wait until after the 15th of the month then your changes won't take effect until the next month.

I did a little checking with my payment information and I noticed that it (on the average) takes 9 days from the 15th of the month before you will see that "Payment in Progress" line on your payment information.

I have also noticed that as the months go by my payment date moves up a day or so. I'm wondering if this has to do with the number of adsense publishers and whether or not as those numbers decrease that the rest of us get "bumped" up in the payment date?

So here it is the 20th and according to my calculations I still have 4 more days before I see that "Payment in Progress" line
