[ivanthem]

They have updated their terms, however I don't think anything has changed regarding the disclosure of Adsense earnings:

"Google Confidential Information" includes without limitation: ( A ) all Google software, technology, programming, specifications, materials, guidelines and documentation relating to the Program; ( B ) click-through rates or other statistics relating to Site performance in the Program provided to You by Google... etc

(Section 7 from https://www.google.com/adsense/terms)

However, You may accurately disclose the amount of google’s gross payments to You pursuant to the Program.

which means you can tell everyone how much you're earning each month or so

[ivanthem]

Sorry- guess I was wrong... so let the disclosing begin!!
EDIT- Umm but then again, doesn't google send you a cheque each time your adsense earnings reach $100, and by not letting you disclose the click-through rate, that doesn't help anyone find out how much you earn.

if you go to your adsense account it will show your total earnings on that particular month whether you reach $100 or not

[Jaymz]

You can disclose gross amounts, but not specific amounts or click-through-rates.

[Iysha]

so can we all say what we have earnt so far from adsense but no more. Coz that would be pretty interesting

[Jamie Huskisson]

nothing will be disclosed from p2l, so you can remove that from your mind

[Iysha]

fair enough

[ascen9]

If you have a look at the sites that are selling on Sitepoint, they are allowed to provide screenshots of their adsense accounts so long as they hide their CRT.

It would make sense that Google allows sites to disclose their earnings. It's good advertisment for their AdSense program. In fact, in their Google Adsense Blog http://adsense.blogspot.com/2005/11/spotli...sk-builder.html, they have disclosed how much Askthebuilder.com was earning.
