I hardly ever check my adsense figures but my "good time" to check must be just after midnight on Google's clock! It always gives me a start, and one day it'll have >0 and then I'll get really scared
I check my stats 15 minutes past the hour like 12:15, 1:15, etc. I find it to be always updated by then. I check hourly =)
That's astounding. Are you able to actually use the information for anything or does it just help your inner glow?
I used to check daily, but my earnings are down 40% since a week ago, so I am monitoring it VERY closely. My last 2 hours yesterday earned less than $1, that is ridiculous! And it looks like there's no end to this, it continues today also!
I think eCPM was down as a whole. No idea about the reason. I'm talking about less than $0.05 per click in my case.
I normally check once in the morning.. then sometimes I will log in once or twice during the day to get a quick glance. Once my toolbars stopped working with firefox upgrade I decided not to upgrade them because I didn't need to see the constant information. I found it highly counter productive. Usually in the morning I can get a complete accurate assessment from the previous day, and also see if anything has happened in the early part of the new day.
my CTR was down 50% yesterday,looks like today will be the same. Are google changing the type of ads showing ? as my impressions are the same.
i check compulsively ... i use it more to detect impressions across my sites ... gives me an instant heads up ... keeps me on my traffic ... i know where to put time. but mostly i'm just compulsive about it. i have that adsense revenue checker running 24/7 on one of my other computers ... updates every 20 minutes. so i just glance over at the other monitor a couple times a day. yeah ... i know ... i need help.
Days I'm at home and on the net a bit I'll check 3-4 times a days. Other days just once a day - sometimes none at all.
