Google Adsense Notifier Firefox Extension for GAD Sufferers
Adsense Notifier is a very simple extension for FireFox that simply shows your adsense stats on the status bar and updates the stats automatically (by default every 20 minutes but this can be reduced). This is an excellent plugin for anyone that suffers from Google Adwords Disorder or GAD as some have called it ) who have a needs to check their Adsense account as often as possible in the hope that someone has clicked an ad!
This little plugin is a godsend as it really is a pain logging into Adsense so matter times in a day JUST to see if there has been any clicks. Next job would be to correctly moneterise this blog, more on that later though
Version Notes:
- Fixed issue where incorrect information was displayed if there was no data
available for a product.
- Fixed number formatting for some languages.
- Fixed “Since Last Payment� to work even if user has never received a payment
(shows same results as “all time�)
- Fixed login issue where users had migrated or were in the process of
migrating their adwords/adsense account to a google account.
- Fixed divide by zero error when there were earnings but no clicks or no impressions.
- Added back “all time�.
- Added the ability to choose click landing page.
- Added locales for numbers. Default is to use the Firefox install locale, but this can
be overridden through the options.
- Added Shift and CTRL clicking so single button mice can take advantage of multiple
clicking options.
- Added first time startup page for new versions.
- Changed login process to only popup login box if username or password is
blank. Now if failed login attempt, the “Stats� icon is changed.
- Changed decimal places from 1 to 2 places to match with Google update.
- Changed to XPCOM interface. Now all windows share the same backend. This should
vastly increase the speed at which additional windows open since they no longer
need to login and pull the data. This also opens up the ability to add multiple
accounts, have on the fly currency conversion, save cookies to cut down on the logons,
graphs, and many other exciting features.
- Changed last few hard coded strings to use locale dtd and property files (including
description displayed under extensions.)
- Updated XMLHTTPRequest to disable caching. This should slightly increase the chances
that the notifier will always get “new� data. That said, the data you get seems to
be more dependant on which adsense server you hit and get connected to.
