I have started a survey using PollDaddy to see if I can figure out what earnings are need to receive a gift in 2007.

If you were an AdSense publisher and made at least $5,000 dollars this year, please fill out this survey. It simply asks if you received a gift, and what your estimated 2007 AdSense earnings are. Of course, all answers are anonymous. I made quite a bit more than $5,000 and didn’t receive a gift, so I’m wondering where the limit is. (The survey only allows 100 respondents, so I want to make sure that the answers aren’t all low-earning publishers saying “no”).

Take the poll

It’s getting to be the time of year when Google sends out a gift to many of their top publishers. Nobody knows for sure what amount you need to earn before you deserve a gift, but you do need to be making at least 4 figures a year.

Here is a list of the previous years presents.
