A Mac OS X Widget to track AdSense Revenue.
One of the things that bugs me about AdSense is that checking my AdSense reports is a multistep process:
- Launch my Web browser.
- Go to the AdSense home page.
- Enter login information. (My browser won’t remember it because I have an AdSense account and an AdWords account.)
- Click to log in.
- Select the report period.
Okay, so that’t not so much work. But wouldn’t it be nicer to just press a key and have yesterday’s, today’s, and the current month’s AdSense Revenue magically appear?
That’s basically what the RevenuSense widget does. Once installed and configured with your AdSense account’s e-mail address and password, it automatically queries Google for basic revenue information. Just leave the widget open on your Dashboard and press F12. The AdSense revenue information appears with all your other open widgets.
Additional configuration options include update frequency and currency conversions, so you can fine-tune how the display works.
I think this is a great tool for any Mac user with an AdSense account — especially bloggers, who often depend on AdSense revenue to pay for their blogging habits.
RevenuSense looks great, but I can’t seem to get it to read the CSV file. Are you having problems with this widget too? I’d really like to get it to work, but so far I’ve only been able to get one adsense widget to work. The rest have reported errors with the CSV file. :(
