AdWords stats watcher?

[nerowolfe]

As a neurotic AdWords junkie, I have to confess that I am now completely addicted to reloading my AdWords stats page, hoping that there will be a new click or two for me to look at. It's gotten to the point where I waste even more time checking AdWords than I do surfing the web :)

I was wondering if anyone knows of a utility that could watch our AdWords account and IM/email us a message when new stats came in.

If there isn't such a thing, I might just have to write one myself. And then I started wondering if any of you wanted one too, and if so, how much would you pay to use it! :)

No you're not alone, stats watching is strangley compelling :P Well, sometimes it is. ATM I'm doing a bit of experimenting so watching them very closely.

As for the notification bit, you could do it at your site's end, watch for google referals, monitor them for your adwords keywords, have the server send you a message when you get a hit - but if I did that my emails would get pretty full pretty quick ;) What I did was make a page on my site which has the last 10 referals keywords, that way I can check out whats going on at a glance without having to log into my stats (my site stats that is). Actually I made the page my IE default so every time I load IE I have a quick glance at whos coming for what.

My idea of fun is watching the sales stats - sales that are powered by AdWords traffic.

Hahah, that *does* sound like more fun. We only get daily sales reports though so reloading those 50 times a day isn't nearly as compelling :)
