    Every 2 hours or so I check, more often if I've changed the adsense code or placement of ads. I definetly check every morning!

    The plugin saves me from checking every few hours. But with the plugin I check it every 5 minutes, instead! Ha!

    What about login name / password privacy concerns? Makes me nervous having this in the toolbar plugin..

    Are you talking about the firefox or the Google Desktop one? I used the Adsense plugin for Google Desktop for a while, but the desktop layout annoyed me too much, so I took it off.

    If you don't mind Google Desktop, use that version of the adsense checker. It's directly through Google, so you shouldn't have any password/login concerns.

    Firefox. I don't use Google Desktop either as I wonder about the data collection. Call me paranoid! :-p

    Maybe this article will help some people who can't stop checking their stats all the time ;)

    Actually you won't earn more by looking at your account, but less ;) (You will have less time to work for your sites.)

    I check way to many times, probably over ten times a day.

    I am fairly new to adsense and have been tweaking placement, and layout, so I am checking the latest figures quite a bit. I must say I really enjoy watching how my site progresses through-out the day.

    Started in Late November. Currently waiting for my December check, and was able to squeeze amost 50% more for January.

    My fiancee just shakes her head everytime I wonder into the office, she know I am checking on my account.

    I use the Firefox AdSense plugin, which checks every hour and displays the data on your browser taskbar, so I can see it update as I'm browsing.

    I check mine at least once every 10 minutes if I'm online. I take care of my sites and make sure they are performing the best possible, so knowing the statistics on an hourly basis is important -- I think.

    Well checking at intervals smaller than 15 minutes is waste of time. Google made it known that the Adsense stats are updated around every 15-30 mins.

    Even though the traffic on my blogs is pitiful, I still cant help but check every half hour or so in the hopes that "Today's Earnings" will miraculously not show $0.00...it is a non-fatal form of addiction, I guess.
