Here is some good news for people who can’t resist logging in to their Adsense account once in every few minutes/hours to check their stats. If you are also wasting a lot of time for this purpose, now you can make this a thing of past by using a free AdsenseToolbar. This browser add-on which can be seamlessly integrated with either Firefox or Internet Explorer has been recently released by Metalgrass Software. After providing the user name & password for your Adsense account, the tool bar starts monitoring & it allows you to stay updated with your earnings & statistics.
Here is a list of features provided by Adsense toolbar
Automatic monitoring of your account: Users can schedule the time interval (in minutes) for automating the monitoring of their account statistics like clicks, impressions, channels etc.
Useful Adsense Related links: The toolbar provides links to useful Adsense related sites & forums.
Adsense Feeds: A list of some of the best Adsense related blog feeds.
Extra stuffs: The toolbar also provided a few extra features like weather information, local & world wide radio & some cool gadgets.
You can download & install this Adsense toolbar from here.
For people who are not aware of AdsenseLog, it is a separate windows utility that can help you to get extensive information about your Adsense account. Unlike Adsense toolbar, AdsenseLog is not a browser ad-on & also it is not completely free of cost for everybody. AdsenseLog is free for publishers with monthly earnings less than 100$. Publishers with monthly earnings more than 100$ can use the evaluation version for 30 days. After the evaluation period, they need to pay a one time fee of 50$ if they wish to continue its usage. AdsenseLog can be downloaded from here.
The new Adsense toolbar is like a lighter version of the AdsenseLog & its helps you to monitor your Adsense data with lot of ease but, with limited set of features. So, depending on your requirements you can prefer to use any (or both) of these applications.

Thanks again!
Ron
@Ron Mertens, I have fixed the typo. Thanks for letting me know.
I’m not aware of this add on. Thanks for sharing it with us. Can you actually see the daily earning right from the tool bar?
Yan
@Yan, Yeah. You can see todays earning & also yesterdays right from the toolbar. Apart from earnings, you will also be able to see the number of impressions & clicks for both the Content & Serach based ads with channel details.
Thanks for the heads up, Pras. Appreciate your response and hey, thanks for the article. I have been looking for something like this for a while.
Yan
Sounds like a good toolbar utility… Btw, does it also take care of any other Google services within this single bar?
Unfortunately, I can’t consume it much. Somehow, my AdSense account was not adding up any earnings despite clicks. Google AdSense support could not figure out why and I discontinued using it.
Ajith
@Ajith, No. The toolbar is just for Adsense. It wont be possible to use any other Google services from this toolbar.
Btw, congrats on your PR3 ! I got only 2
Are you planning to make this blog dofollow?
@Ajith, Hey I got PR3 in the last update itself. So, there is no change this time. FYI, my blog is already dofollw. Long time back itslef I have installed the plugin.
Nice toolbar. I’m always switching back and forth to Adsense so this will probably save me a few hours each day :-p.
It will be pleasant to work with Metalgrass Software. Thanks! It’s nice to make the adsense toolbar work do faster.
Nice info. I hadn’t known it before.
@Pras: something wrong with your emoticons. It’s always in a new line.
@ThemeLib, Yeah. I have also noticed that. Will try to fix. Thanks for remembering me about it.
Pretty cool. I’m not even aware of this add-on. Thanks for sharing!
pretty gud info!! thnx I din know dis earlier, gr8.. share!!
Personally, I am not a fan of toolbars as I find them annoying and an eye-sore. However I may make an exception for the adsense portion.
nice post bro, the toolbar is very useful for me

[…] For those of you who use Google Adsense, TechSagar has a post on how to Monitor Your Adsense Account With A Browser Plugin. […]
Thanks for that! I’ve missed the plugin somehow…
Toolbars are going to make our life much easier but it also slows down the computer system. regards http://www.indian-share-tips.com
Sounds cool, I have always been a victim of intensive account account monitoring, especially when it comes to a niche site that I have that uses a lot of AdSense. Will check it out!

Wow this is a great post ! Thanks for sharing the useful information.
I love the idea of this adsense toolbar although I would want to make sure it was 100% safe first but this would stop me checkig my adsense account 100 time a day!
@TH, Adsense toolbar is completely safe. I am using it from past few months & never had any issues. Yeah, it surely prevents us from checking the account multiple times a day.
Wow thanks for the tip with this toolbar, Only problem I am having is so many toolbars I am going to run out of room on my browser.
Hmmm, I am tempted to try this.
Thanks for the great tips.
