Is it possible to have a link that will automatically log you into the adsense system.

I use the following format for my sites that have .htaccess
[username:password@widget.com...]

Is there a format for logging into the adsense system.

No I do not want to make it a public link it is for me to save as a personal bookmark to make it easier for me to check my stats 56 times a day (lol)

Thanks in advance

Here you go :

[google.com...]

You will obviously need to edit YOUREMAIL AND YOURPASSWORD to suit your details.

As you probably gathered I am an Adsense Junkie

Yikes, I wouldn't want to embed my userid and password into a URL I'm fetching.

Hey nice one Mario :)

Your tip even spurred me on to edit my registry to make the shortcut open in a new window and not hijack WW.

Thanks for asking the question Sense_able. Probably saved me half an hour a day :) (not that I'm admitting to being a stats junkie)

You do have to be careful when calling pages using these formats but hey I am not exactly the brinks mat vault.

Does anyone have an equivalent for logging into Adwords?

That would be another timesaver.

as long as the mailing address where the checks go is still your own, why worry :-)

I made an asp page that sits on my server and uses the xmlhttp object to post login information to get the session authenticated and then does another request to change the stats to this months data and then just dumps the results out to my browser.

I guess the only risk is someone who really wants you off the program logging into your control panel and then clicking loads of site ads using the same IP addy.

Wouldn't like to have to explain that one to google. In fact, probably wouldn't get a chance anyway.

Isn't that the exact reason you SHOULD worry?

[google.com...]

simply make this your homepage, when you open your browser...your in.

Interesting, are the password and username encrypted when accessing an https:// URL via GET (like the link posted) or only when POSTED from a form?

Anyone know?

Not recommended due to the fact that you could leave this as a refer in any sites stats which you visit

Its one thing leaving google as a refering site but its something else leaving your email address and password as a calling card.

I know that urchin web stats can pick these up because I have seen them as referals

Always close down the browser and open a new browser window for your next site

https URLs don't appear in browser histories or in proxy logs either.

Basically, the only thing an intermediate machine (or a packet sniffer) sees is the hostname of the URL. The path, and any parameters appended to the path, are sent to the server only after an encrypted connection is made. So although they look just like normal http URLs, the way the browser handles them is very different.
