You can't update your Google AdSense bank accounts -- only add new ones.

Google AdSense is a contextual ad service which displays relevant ads on your website. AdSense supports EFT (electronic fund transfer), meaning that they can deposit the revenue you earn through the program directly into your bank account. If your account details have changed and you want your revenue to go to a different account, you must register a new bank account, as old account details cannot be edited or updated, even by AdSense support staff.

STEP 1

Go to the AdSense site and log in. Click “Payments” from the “Overview” menu and then click “Payment settings.”

STEP 2

Select “Add a new bank account” next to the “Available forms of payment” header and then enter all of your bank account details into the fields provided. Note that you will need to enter the bank account holder's name exactly as it appears on the account. When you have entered all the details, click the “Make this my selection for future payments” check box and then click “Save.”

STEP 3

Check your bank account regularly over the next 10 days. AdSense will make a test deposit of $0.15-$1.10 into your account, which you will use to verify that you are the owner of the account. When you see the test deposit, make a note of the amount.

STEP 4

Go back to the AdSense “Payment settings” screen and then click “Verify this account.” Enter the amount of your test deposit into the text field and then click “Next.” Upon receiving the correct test deposit amount, AdSense will approve your new account. Click the new account to set it as your default payment method.

The Evolution of Google Logo

First Google Logo Evolution

In September 1998, Sergey Brin created the first Google Logo using the open source graphics software GIMP. As an amateur he added simple effects to the word Google. He used the primary colors and gave an emboss effect to make it appear like 3D. Later an exclamation mark was added.

New Google Logo

The present famous Google logo was designed by the graphic designer Ruth Kedar. When she was working at Stanford she was commissioned to design the Google logo. The present Google logo is very simple, slimmer and sexier. It uses simple fonts and colors. The font used in the logo is called Catull. It gives a calligraphic feel with contrasting stroke weights and distinctive serifs.
The simplicity of the logo describes the simplicity of the search engine Google. The two O’s are in different colors to emphasize the infinity. A subtle shadow is rendered in a different shading style. This logo was officially launched on May 6, 2010. Google logo is unique, eye catching and very simple. Though it is very simple it speaks volume about the company, it right off the bat tells the simplicity of the Search Engine Google and its universal acceptance.

Google Doodles

To mark holidays, birthdays of famous people and major events, Google uses specially drawn logos known as the Google Doodles. The very first Google Doodle was a reference to the Burning Man Festival in 1999. Larry and Sergey put a little stick figure on the home page to let people know why no one was in the office in case the website crashed! Now, Google Doodles are regularly drawn by Dennis Hwang.

History

Main article: History of Google

Google began in January 1996 as a research project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin when they were both PhD students at Stanford University in California.

While conventional search engines ranked results by counting how many times the search terms appeared on the page, the two theorized about a better system that analyzed the relationships between websites. They called this new technology PageRank, where a website's relevance was determined by the number of pages, and the importance of those pages, that linked back to the original site.

A small search engine called "RankDex" from IDD Information Services designed by Robin Li was, since 1996, already exploring a similar strategy for site-scoring and page ranking. The technology in RankDex would be patented and used later when Li founded Baidu in China.

Page and Brin originally nicknamed their new search engine "BackRub", because the system checked backlinks to estimate the importance of a site.

Eventually, they changed the name to Google, originating from a misspelling of the word "googol", the number one followed by one hundred zeros, which was picked to signify that the search engine wants to provide large quantities of information for people. Originally, Google ran under the Stanford University website, with the domain google.stanford.edu.

The domain name for Google was registered on September 15, 1997, and the company was incorporated on September 4, 1998. It was based in a friend's (Susan Wojcicki) garage in Menlo Park, California. Craig Silverstein, a fellow PhD student at Stanford, was hired as the first employee
