Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN) Not Found!

14 Comments

I was having problem when I want to cashout my Google Adsense earning from Western Union. I went to the counter, gave my Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN) to the bank accountant, after awhile he said, “Sorry sir. Your MTCN is not found in our system. Please re-check your MTCN.”

Maybe I wrote it wrong. So I opened up my Notes from my Nokia N73ME (I saved the number in my phone) and gave him my Google Adsense MTCN to the accountant. But still, the system showed no MTCN found. I back home with frustrated emotion.

I thought I have lost my earnings but actually, it is not. The money is still there but maybe there are some bugs with the Western Union system so it cannot find my MTCN.

Luckily, I am not the only person who facing the problem. There are some publishers who also having the same problem like me.

I’m not the expert in Adsense but I would like to share my experience and knowledge about how you can increase your Adsense earnings. I’m sure many of you already know what is Adsense. Adsense is a way for you as the publishers to earn money from your site. As for the advertisers, you can get more traffics to your website by using the advertising programme from Adsense.

The first time I got accepted into Google Adsense programme, I was so excited because I know that I can start making big money from it. But I was wrong. By get accepted into Adsense does not mean you can earn the money easily. The money that I got for the first five months were very low. It was about $2 or $3 per month. But after I read articles, do some experiments, asked opinions from Adsense experts other Adsense users, I end with these tips. And these tips have increase my Adsense earnings.

1. Use large ad size – First what I did to my site was, I use large ad size. The theory is simple. The bigger the size, the higher chances the visitors will click the ads. Large ad size serves more ads (3 or 4 ads per ad unit) and it gives more choices for visitors to click.

2. Place above the article – Next, put the ad unit above the article. As you can see on my website, the ad is placed above the article, below the title. So far, this is the best place if you want to place your Adsense ad. My CTR has increased since I put the large rectangle ad on that place.

3. Choose same colour – Third, make sure that your ad scheme colour is same with your website scheme. The ad background colour should be the same with your website background colour. This implies to the link and the text. Some readers might thought that they are links from your site and not ads. So your chance to earn more money will increase.
