Let's just put it this way: Adsense does not appreciate the scale of the general market. For example in Kenya, if your site is doing 30, 000 unique visitors, then that is a HUGE site. But in the global scheme of things(which is what Adsense looks at) that is a nothing site, so you get nothing money.

Thanks for the details and information....

@KenMan,

I really cannot remember how I got mine but I remember I usually received the Secured Express Delivery checks in either of the following ways if they will be sending it by dhl.

1. Request google to drop it at my employers address.
2. When I left employment, I instructed google to drop my parcel at dhl offices in International life house. Once the parcel is there, they would call me.

Hope this helps.

A street address? How?

Postal Corporation of Kenya deliver to street addresses?

I have helped a friend setup an online business that produced notebook sleeves back when there were little competitors yet. The thing with an online business is penetrating the market. Good thing that there were not much available options that time, that's why he made good out of it.

But if you are going to start with something that is already out in the market, I would see this as a challenge. It is hard to sell especially if you do not have a fan base just ready to try your products out.
