Adsense Gadget for Vista Sidebar

As a member of the “make-money-blogging” crew, I usually login to my Google Adsense account every hour. Even though I like logging in and see my Adsense earnings increase for the day, I feel that it is somehow adding stress to my life. This is why I highly recommend you this Adsense Gadget made for Windows Vista Sidebar.

On the above screenshot, you can see how the Adsense Gadget looks on your sidebar. Like every gadget, it’s draggable and configurable. The text on the Adsense gadget is very easy to read on 1280 x 1024 resolution on a 19” LCD monitor. Adsense Gadget configuration screen requires you to enter your login details. I have checked the adsense gadget for a week for any external connection attemps except for google.com/adsense and found nothing. So I can say it is fairly safe for you the download.

You can also change the text colors and background on the gadget. Background Index number is only good for 1 and 2. 1 simple black background and 2 is a web 2.0 looking blue background image. The text colors can be put in using the Hex Color Codes, but you can only use # followed by 3 numbers. I would like to thank Shane Hird for writing a successful gadget and I hope he improves the gadget in the future.

You can download the Adsense Sidebar Gadget from Windows Live Gallery.
I have uploaded it here just in case the Live Gallery url is changed in future: download from THB

After using it for a while now, I wish it was more customizable. I would like to be able to see monthly Adsense earnings

this is great for vista users and who are making money from adsense but I’ve tried adsense on a couple of sites but only manage to make a couple of dollars a day. Would pay to know how to do things a little better.
