If you are anything like me you probably check your Google Adsense earnings page 20 times a day. I got sick of having to going to the Adsense page, logging in just to look for 2 seconds.

So i did some searching and found these handy little tools for checking your Adsense earnings. One is a desktop application and the other is an addon for Firefox.

Please Note: i cannot validate the security of these, so please take the usual precautions.

The first is a free tool called SynSense which is more of an AdSense monitoring tool. This sits in the tray and offers actualized AdSense stats as you hover your mouse over its icon. It’s a very nice tool for those which like to be informed on how their AdSense is doing at all times of the day. Once setup and running just right click on the icon in your tray, click accounts and your Adsense earnings page will be displayed.

Download SynSense here

If, however, you’re browsing content most of the time, and your tool of choice is the Firefox Internet browser, there’s an extension for this program that allows you to view the stats in your status bar.

Adsense Notifier displays your Adsense earnings on your Firefox status bar. It allows you to easily see your earnings at a glance instead of logging into the Adsense website multiple times a day. Again, this software is aware of Google’s 15 minute rule and enforces its usage, 15 minutes being the minimum time between updates.

The Google AdSense notifier for Firefox can be obtained from here.

Hopefully these tools will help with your Adsense addiction.

Got a big scare today with Google Adsense. Logged into my account And i saw this pink box saying “Your payments are currently on hold. Action is required to release payment. “.

With all the posts in webmaster forums i see of accounts banned, i didnt even read the notice properly and thought my account was banned.

After reading the more details part, i found out its on hold till i enter my pin number. But i only have $30 in it and they usually send it when you reach $50. That got me thinking some more.

So, off to read Google Adsense TOS again. Guess what i find?

This is from the Google Adsense site: ( link below )
When will I receive my PIN?

Once your account balance reaches $10, your Personal Identification Number (PIN) will be generated and sent via first class mail within 3-5 days. You can view the date it is generated by clicking the Please enter your PIN link on your Payment History page. After your PIN is mailed, you should expect it to arrive within 2-4 weeks, but it may take longer to reach you depending on the postal service in your location.

WOW! Google Adsense has changed the amount when you receive your pin.
