Time since last update

A feature to google adsense

[MartinTygsen]

Hello WW's

I started using adsense for a month og two since, but I'm missing a feature to google adsense, and I wanted to hear if somebody else could use it too.

Its because Adsense sometimes is hours delayed, and is difficult to find out when it last updated, f.eks. its more than 6 hours since my adsense updated today.

So this feature i am talking of is so simple as a time when last updated, so you quickly can see that its an hour og two since its updated.

It must be very simple to make.

whats your oppuion to this?

It must be very simple to make.

Why? How exactly do you think it would work?

And why do you want it anyway? When you check no more than twice a day or so it really doesn't matter if the current page was generated 5 or 10 minutes ago, and if it has all the clicks up to 48 or 52 minutes ago.

Get rid of that statistics addiction. Stop checking stats every 10 minutes. Do it now!

I dont check every 10 minuts, but Im new at google adsense, so when I only got 98 impressions on 6 hours, I take somethings wrong, maybe on my site, or maybe google just not updated the results?

But how can I know? thats why i thought it could be a good idea just to have a little indefication of when google last updated the results, it just hours not minutes i am talking of.

In most instances, this would be fairly simple to implement. All they would need to do is show you the date/time that your Adsense data was last cached. But this would definitely take alot of the fun out of Adsense, wouldn't it. There be no more posts on webmasterworld, questioning whether others were seeing a lag in their Adsense stats... and what fun would this be.

YPN has this as part of the beta. It has the time and date of the last update when you check your stats. If it proves to be a popular or important feature I'm pretty sure that Google would follow suit.

okay its sounds good, thanks for the information

I think this would go somewhere into reducing adsense checking addiction. We check continuously just because we like to know that everything is running smoothly- allowing ourselves to detect fraudulent activity faster, allowing ourselves to see if that channel is working, that campaign is showing signs of paying off. Perhaps if Google just told us: "Look, we're gonna update at 10AM and 10PM. That's it." we'd stop checking at any other times thus reducing load on their servers which could then be used for umm.. I don't know, perhaps "search".

My hosting service only provides logs every 24 hours, so AdSense is my only "real time" way of tracking site traffic!

Instead of spending that time checking adsense over and over, maybe spend it working on your site or even another site. Then time will fly by, and when you stop to check, things will have changed.

And I will quit twitching? Promise?
