This is a rather simple script that will create an RSS feed with your daily Adsense earnings, making it easy to track them via your regular feed reader.
Current version: 1.1 (24 april 2006)
Features
Multiply your income by 10 ! Become a 6 figure blogger ! No, just kidding :) There are no feature this time, except that you can specify how many feed items (i.e. days) you want to have.
Download
Get the script :
- rss-adsense.php (colorized html, copy & paste into a blank file but don’t download it : it’s colorized html, not code :)
- rss-adsense.txt (right click & save as .php)
Configure
Edit the script, and modify 4 lines at its beginning to suit your needs. Basically, you have to enter your Adsense login, password, the range of days you want to aggregate and a path to a temporary cookie file you shouldn’t even need to modify.
Upload
Upload the script to some secret location on your server, or rename it to some secret filename. Why secret ? Just because you don’t want anybody to see how much (or how few) you earn, and also because it is against Adsense Terms of Use to publicly display your Adsense results.
If you add it on a web-based RSS reader (Bloglines for example), be sure to mark it private.
FAQ
Q: Is it secure to enter my Adsense password in a script ?
A: It is, as long as no one can access the source of the script on your server (i.e. download the source file via FTP for example)
Q: Is it a malicious script that will send my password to you ?
A: Well of course. It will also guess your credit card number and post it on random forums all over the internet.
Q: What does Google think about this ?
A: They don’t care. Read the disclaimer below.
Q: What does the author of PHP Curl extension think about this ?
A: He thinks it’s way cool.
Disclaimer
Adsense Terms of Use regarding disclosure of your earnings vary from time to time. As of today, you cannot publicly reveal your daily income, Click Through Ratios and eCPM. If anyone else ever discovers and reads your feed, it will be your fault. Not mine :)
Adsense reports are not update real time, so there is no need to refresh your feed every 5 minutes. Set up a reasonnable refresh delay such as one hour minimum in your feed reader.

Script’s not working for me. Could I be doing something wrong? Or has google blocked it? Checking my adsense stat on dial up is a pain and this script would have helped a lot.
Nice initiative.
