Are you eligible for a Google Christmas Gift?
Its still a mystery how Google decides which Google adsense publishers get the coveted Google gift to show off. Undoubtedly they are their top publishers and it is a way to thank them for their support and advertising space.
What Adsense earnings should you generate to get a Google gift? Over the years, none of these top publishers or Google has been willing to share the secret cut off earning level. Maybe if you get the gift, you can pat yourself that Google has you listed in their gift list!
Remember earlier some top Google Adwords users got a Google mini fridge and Adsense MTV video ad testers got lava lamps too. Even Google Display Advertising Network members were gifted Google branded laptop bags. I wonder what Yahoo! has in mind to gift its publishers.
Update: John Chow also got it and has a nice video of the unboxing.
They should send everybody a gift, based on how much you make as long as you’re over the $100/month mark. That will rule out small-time publishers, and spending $20 to send out a gift card once a year to someone making you over $100/month is a good investment for any company.
I’m around the $600/month mark and even though I doubt they’ll send me anything, it would be way cool. Then I would feel bad about thinking about switching contextual ad networks. See, it’s a good investment for them!
Egonitron – I agree sending all publishers a small gift once at Christmas will be a great gesture. They can have some simple gifts for all who earn more than $100, with bigger gifts for their top publishers.
Hope Google send me this Christmas a small gift. Is nice if the bigG respect all publishers at the same way, so this may be have a cost to google, but is important for publisher to continue with implementing google adsense. So is the idea bigG is thinking me to!!!

i just received one of these (along with a card to donate money to a public school of my choice) but it doesn’t work and when i try formating it, it doesn’t let me do that either any suggestions?
