Lol - so everyone goes through the phase of checking their Adsense account constantly! I used to check every time I got bored but now I rarely bother checking it. Maybe once every 2 days or so... Obviously you should check more often if you're optimising your website but at the moment I just don't have the time.
I was nearly over my addiction as I set-up an automatic daily report with Adsense and if fact, I wasn't logging in at all ..... until this thread .... now I have downloaded the plugin for Google Desktop for the side bar .... my addiction's back ..... I am ignoring my job .... my kids .... my wife's left me ...... I blame you all .....
I wouldn't be surprised if some of the big earners check all the time because their earnings change all time as they are getting many, many clicks a day.Then again, they might now be such experts that it gets a bit tedious for them to check too often.
most recently my "keep looking" problem has been checking if anyone has made a new post in my forum im nurturing!!
I use the Adsense plugin with Firefox. That way my Adsense stats are just a glance away at all times. I still login a couple of times a day to check the breakdown of the Channel stats though.
I always check before i go to bed or when i wake up because lol you crazy ass americans sleeps when i'm awake and there is no results on my google adsense !!!! so no point looking at it lol
Once or twice a day here.. but today I checked about 10 times because it was interesting to watch one of our sites go from an average of about 80 impressions per day to over 300 today..
I started with Adsense in May 2005 checking my earnings every single minute during the first days, later at least once every hour during several weeks and so on. Actually I only check the earnings when I make changes on a site to see increasing or decreasing in performance with such modifications. Such changes are once or twice a week if any. Ah, also checking near the end of the month to see if money is coming my way.
When I first signed up with Adsense I was checking pretty much every hour or two. (don't know why, as I'd go for days at a time without a click, lol!) These days, I check no more than about once or twice a day, sometimes less. Although, having said that, I'm about to launch a new site, so I'll probably check more often for a while until the novelty of that wears off!
Hi, I'm using the FF-Plugin as well (check every 30 minutes). And I also using asrep which I'm checking around 10 times a day (but not only for adsense purpose - I use it as a kind of "all-inclusive-counter"-Tool ;-) kind regards from Vienna Andreas.
I check my stats about twice a day. Once in the morning and once at night when finishing up the day. Same with YPN. Their reporting is way too slow anyway in my opinion. Christoph
