Google Electronic Funds Transfer is out of beta

A friend considering using Adsense asked if they could direct deposit funds, or if they only sent checks. I told him that I recieve checks, but then logged in and found that they did have a beta version direct deposit available. I immediately signed up as this is much more convenient.

Spamming Blogs?
