Checking how much you earn in Google adsense can be a troublesome and a time consuming activity, especially if you do it every hour or are just addicted in doing so. Save yourself some time by using these 2 firefox extension. All you need to do is set them up with your user details once, and the extension will do the checking automatically for you.
1. Adsense Notifier
This is by far the most popular extension used for adsense stats tracking in firefox. It used to work fine, but things started to fall down when Google Adsense decided to change their reporting to Ajax. I wrote about this before (Adsense Notifier not working anymore), and the author did made some changes to make it work again. However it wasn’t for long as the stats are now showing all zeros once again. It was good once, but, well, maybe it can be a second choice in the future.
2. MoneyQuake
Brought to you by the people who made us the firefox SEO extension SEOQuake, here’s a newer extension that really does the hard work for us. Not only does it checks Google Adsense, but also a ton of other networks such as Bidvertizer, TraficCashGold, , StreamRay, UmaxSearch, PeakClick, Buckster, SoftwareProfit, AdultAdsCash, KlikVip, AdultFriendFinderrn, Begun, Yandex.Direct and Glavmed etc.
I’ve been using MoneyQuake since adsense notifier stopped working and it had since been performing really well. Having the ability to check earnings on other networks is a big booster as well.
Conclusion
Use MoneyQuake! Keep Adsense Notifier as a reference if you want to.
Both extensions have well written privacy policy and for those who are worried if there account stats/details would be stolen in any way or any spyware/adware, I don’t think that will ever happen anyway.
*Update (November 19 2008)
It’s unforunate that both adsense notifier and moneyquake are both not working currently. Quakemoney will now return “Error parsing data” instead of showing your adsense earnings.

As an alternative to AdSense, I recommend Chitika. Over the last year I compiled some statistics of my earnings and I actually earned twice as much with Chitika compared to AdSense.
