One of my favorite programmers just released a new tool, which I inadvertently renamed this weekend: SysSense. It's for automatically monitoring your Google AdSense account. “Load when Windows starts, 24-hour time display, auto update tray tooltip information, select which information to show in tray tooltip, proxy support, one-click to log into Google AdSense website, display tray icon balloon when AdSense information changes.” It's an incredible time-saver for me, who has become addicted to checking my AdSense stats every 15 minutes. It's not going to help you maximize revenue, but at least it'll help you streamline your daily monitoring strategy.

Google AdSense offers more ways for you to earn money while making your site more useful for visitors. Along with targeted advertising for your content pages, you can add a Google search box to your site and show targeted ads on search results pages. When visitors click on these ads, Google pays you.
