Do not do this. Heart attack material

I've been browing these forums for a while and enjoying discussions about potential problems with people click frauding your site and getting you banned.
Well, I had one window open with today's earnings in it, and on another desktop(same pc) I had another browser window which I was using for daily analysis.
Anyway, after I finished reading a lot of forum links I finally got back to my original today's earning page which by this time was old as I had just finished looking at the monthlies on the other window. I wanted an update so I clicked refresh and got a shock.
My page impressions went from 127 to 2497 and clicks went from 5 to 92 in the space of 10 minutes!
It was a bit of a misunderstanding thought as when I logged back in I had 135 impressions instead of 2497.
I guess being logged in more than once to adsense reports is a baaad thing.

 

Maybe it changed to your week stats perhaps...Just a wild guess!

 

I hit refresh while looking at dailies and it showed last 7 days. Man did that give me a shock of adrenalin! It was fun for about 3 seconds.

 

btw, is there a way to really refresh the stats in adsense?
for me only complete close of browser and after that reopen of adsense helps.

for example if I have 2 windows - 1 with adsense and other with smth else, I have to close them both and only after that I can reopem adsense page and see the new stats. it happends in IE, FireFox and Opera. strange..

 

I think just clicking on the Google Adsense logo at the top should refresh the page for you.

 

Oh. yeah. I see now. It changed to Monthly instead of today's. LOL You were right JarodBoy.
I might as well enjoy being an adsense n00b while I still can.

 

You need to clear your cookies!. in Firefox, you can clear the cookies specific to a site. AdSense report checks the cookies on your machine before fetching fresh data. Only if the cookie is expired, it gets the new data. Other way is to clear the cookie.

I would suggest you to get the Google Desktop Sidebar with the AdSense plugin. It gets updated every 15 mins automatically.

 

there's no weird thing happen on that actually. something you miss to check.. that;s it

 

Looks cool, but they don't do a Linux version.
Now, If only I can get someone to do a gkrellm adsense plugin I'd be happy.
I'd do it myself, but I never got far past "Hello World" in my C lessons.

 

I think there's a Firefox plugin which should work on Linux (not earning enough from Adsense to bother trying it yet). If not, I might knock one up later.

 

Thanks for the firefox plugin suggestion forkqueue (nice nick btw hehe )
I'll have a google for it later.
