Google Adsense launched the new payment way of Western Union in the beginning of this month. Most publishers, if not all, I think, were excited about it. But now it seems that the new method doesn't work quickly as expected. Publisher YuNus who switched to the Western Union payment way 4 weeks ago left a message in Adsense Help saying that "Payment in Progress" hasn't changed to "Payment Issued" nearly one week. Actually we encountered the exact same problem. :-( Anyone knows what exactly happened to Google Adsense payment?
