I Can't Access My Adsense Reports

for the past half hour - is this bad news?

[moneyraker]

I can't access the Google Adsense site for the past half hour or so, preventing me from doing my newbie-checking-adsense-earnings-every-15-minutes ritual. I'm really worried because this might mean something. Anybody out there experiencing the same thing?

[moneyraker]

Whew! I finally got in! I was worried that my IP was being blocked by Google and that a dreaded email is already in my mailbox. I live another day! Sorry for the over-reaction, guys...

[Eterion]

Aww how cute! What a cute reaction!
I think when I finally decide to put AdSense on my page, I'll probably run into the same ritual as you did. SO I can empathize. =)

I check my account and e-mail every 15 minutes.

Sadly, that ritual doesn't seem to go away with time, it's like watching your stocks trade during the day, it's an obsession.

I'm planning on installing a server-side script that will access my account every 30 minutes and email the amount to my cell phone so I don't wig out from withdrawl like I did when we took a trip 3 weeks ago. When we finally got to my mom's house 5 hours away I had to run to the computer, when we got in the hotel lobby I ran to their computer.

I'd probably be better off doing heroin as I can take it with me.

SysSense is a little automatic freeware AdSense checker that helps treat the symptoms, if not the disease. Available from SingersCreations.com, it checks every few minutes and displays your AdSense results in a little popup at the bottom of your monitor.

I requested of the author that he add a logging function, to write all the results to a spreadsheet-friendly log file...no word on whether he will. Those spreadsheets could provide hours of entertainment to us addicts.

I cant wait to check my earnings. I am up to the low 2 dollar range for this month. The new SysSense program now has me staring at my toolbar instead of logging in! HA. I am pitiful.

Is there any possibility that this small app sends your earnings info to its creator? In any case, app that sends SMS or e-mail to my phone is much more convenient and it's also free - developed by WW members

Thanks Swoop - just installed SysSense and it works like a charm!

Now if I can just get those amounts emailed to my cell phone I'm good to go.

You can, search this board for script

[incrediBILL]

I've seen one script before, but searching this board is less fun than dental surgery

[tebrino]

Dental surgery is not fun, so here it is:
