Sorry been away all day. Wow there are a lot of us Adsense Addicts. I wrote the article myself and am willing to let ppl use it if they want. I can provide the original as a lot of sites have changed it to suit themselves. Just PM me and I will send it to you. Cheers
google adsense and analytics have become a part of my daily routine on the internet. Sometimes I find myself refreshing adsense at least 4-5 times a day.
After one period your earning becomes stable .. so then no need to spend more time over there .. spend on your sites ...
I don't know exactly how much time I spend on Adsense because I basically just write articles and advertise whenever I feel like doing it, but I'm pretty sure it's a lot more than 12 hours a week.
I'm not addicted to Adsense. In fact, I just took it off my site for the time being. I make much more selling direct advertising on my site to those who are interested and have more space on my site as well (link to my site in signature). When I did have Adsense, it was just on my site and I logged on about once a week to check on the earnings. I hardly messed with it, actually.
