Check as often as you like. Its your time and your business. I repeat my previous question though. What do you do with the information? A far more interesting thread would be how to react to AdSense statistics.
Hey Bob, did you hear that rumor that if you log in more than twice a day that Google puts you on a suspect adsense spammer list? They think that guys that log in more than twice a day are click fraud webmasters
I'm interested in Bob's question too. I think I've answered it already in a few ways - how do others use the stats? I actually graph mine at the end of each month to observe trends in channels and to track changes in placement/color/size of ads success. I've noticed a few trends over the year or so I've used Adsense by doing this that have helped keep my earnings increase each month. How do others use the stats?
Maybe only those webmasters worry about it. I check adsense very frequently, just like checking the web stats when I started my first websit, now I do it once a month.
I believe people who don't check, don't check because they just don't make enough. I remember when I didn't make much and wouldn't see much change, but now that there is so much action, who needs a life, this is to exciting, some hours there like $30 some there's $2, best time on my site is about 12:00 AM - 10 AM. Anyways, life, pffft, I hang out with my friends all the time, who's to judge me if I have a life. It's not like I come home in the middle of a movie with my GF and check my revenues, but sure, 8-10 times a day, doesn't mean I don't have a life Pops (refering to compar).
I don't care enough to check. I check like once every month or two. I think only those making a lot off of it like to check often. It's not fun or healthy for my sanity "Oh yay I made 0 to 1 cent today" LOL!
I check every 2-3 months that way if I get a cheque from Google it's a surprise I think that's unlikely though because I've only earnt $28 in 3 months lol
Same here Darren, we can cry together... hahaha... I felt lucky to even have that much then I saw how much some other's are making!
I used to never check, but lately I've been making a couple of bucks a day, so I'm constantly logging in to see what my first check will look like. The site I have adsense on isn't updated anymore (business closed), but is still online and still gets hits.
I keep looking for that first day I pass $300 in a day. I have gotten pretty close a few times; but never passed it.
<update> for the record, i am now down to checking my adsense account once every 2 days. its amazing the days actually seem longer now, instead of logging into it every 30 mins
5 times a day, but I only recently joined the programme. results fluctuate enormously. It seems my CTR is a lot better first half of the day
