Finally after many requests from the community and several petitions online, Google has finally decided to give us the opportunity to users in Europe (namely Italy, Germany, France, Netherlands and Spain) the possibility to use the euro instead of dollar payments to AdSense .
fact now, going to the Board of AdSense, you'll see a link at the top that allow the changeover:
Just accept the new conditions use and the thing is done. According official announcement of Google, these are the main changes:
- Google Ireland Limited will replace Google Inc. in the contract between the parties.
- Publishers (we) are responsible for the payment of taxes under the laws of their countries. Google will refund the VAT only in Ireland.
- The legal deadlines vary from those of California or local to the English.
Although the change is optional at the time, Google should do this because could become mandatory in the future.
What are the advantages for us publishers?
With reports in euros, the conversion is now being made every day and this puts safe from any fluctuations in the dollar against the euro. Although today the dollar is gaining ground in recent months have seen a rapid decline in AdSense earnings due in part to down the value of money overseas.
Sure, we'll still be sensitive to the dollar, but at least we will get the equivalent in euros of our earnings from the beginning and the end of the month because in the meantime, the dollar has lost purchasing power.
I still, however, that the other still in the pot bubbles, and it will be interesting to see what other innovations will be in the future.
