What do you guys think?

How many ACTIVE adsense members?

[neiq]

Hey all,
I'm in the process of developing some software to make things a little easier for adsense members. How many active members do you think are out there? I'm trying to determine if the demand is there.

Thanks

If the demand for AdSense is there (000000's), then the demand for something to make publishers life's easier is also there... What is it your proposing?

Remember a lot of Publishers are afraid of being kicked off Adsense so whatever your developing, it shouldn't tamper with any script-code or break Google's TOS.

Good point tonygore i'm not going to do anything to make google mad. I'm scared of those guys :)

I'm curious what could make my life easier -

I just sit around and click on the AdSense page about 10 times a day to count my loot and sip cocktails.

I'm contemplating an automatic script to send email to my cell phone every hour so I can adjourn to the local pub for a brew and still get my AdSense fix.

Wait -

There is something that could make my life easier -

Would this product of yours automatically reply to the daily Webmaster World posts about CTR/CPM going up or down?

Now THAT would be a godsend.

ineresting article here on usatoday
[usatoday.com...]
they say over 200,000 website publishers using adsense
is that publishers or websites?
not sure but its sure a lot so there is definitely a market for software that makes things easier for AS publishers, altho as the above post states, just make sure you adherre to the TOS

Hey bill i'm a little confussed is there nothing to make you google adsense life easier?

[Jenstar]

Maybe Google is already working on whatever you have in mind ;)

That said, there will also become a point when there are too many tools out there, developed by both Google and third parties, where it will eventually hit the cell phone feature saturation point - where you have something with hundreds (or thousands) of available features, there are probably only a handful that you really use.

As for how many members, I think that 200,000 websites number is probably the only thing I have seen on number or publishers or publisher websites. However, note that it says "estimated" - depending on who is doing the "estimating", it could be significantly out of reality.

Hmmm, lets see...

What is there to adsense?

Plug it in, check the cash, collect the cash.

Plug it in took under 30 minutes site wide.

Collect the cash is now direct deposit, not much you can help there

Check the cash probably takes 30 minutes a day... :)

Need a small windows app that automatically gets my current earnings snapshot every 30 minutes or so. Show a picture of an old style cash register and when it updates makes a loud >KA-CHING!< noise and show my current daily total and the month to date if you mouse over it.

There is a market depending on what you are cooking up.

Can you enlighten us as to what is on the menu?

[incrediBILL]

Oh no, we're not talking about something that auto-generates those made for adsense sites are we?

[jetteroheller]

There is an easy way to find out

The check numbers.

This month check number - last month check number

Hey bill :) No made for adsense sites sorry :p lol. I wish i could give hints but there are way to many copy cats. When i'm closer to having it done i'll let the cat out the bag :)

How about an application that sounds an alarm on the PC and dials the publisher's cell phone when a "Your Account has been disabled" e-mail comes in? :-)

I'd like to have something that sits on my browser toolbar and gives me the current numbers -- like a Google Toolbar
