It took 12 days for me to finally get the actual "monetize button". So, for those wondering just about the actual button and not the ads...don't worry...you'll get it soon. Oh...you'll receive a 2nd e-mail...similar to the first one you received,,,it will say "congratulations" again...and THIS time you'll see that you'll also get that coveted monetize button. Hope that helps. ~KSK
