One of my new favorite bloggers, John Chow, author of the internet’s biggest google whores, recently inspired a take off, the internet’s biggest affiliate marketing whores over at StrayGeek.

What’s so special about all of these “whores” that people need to make lists of them?

They are some of the leaders in making money online with web publishing - they are entrepreneurs who should inspire you - they are getting really RICH!

While many of the experienced webmasters out there probably know about this, I wanted to share this with the newbies. There is a great plug-in for the Firefox browser that allows you to easily track your Google AdSense revenue without a lot of effort.

The Adsense Notifier simply shows your adsense stats on the status bar and will automatically update itself several times per hour. You get to see page impressions, number of clicks, click through rate (CTR), total revenue generated for the day and other information anytime you want, right in your browser. In addition, if you place the mouse over the Notifier stats, the tool will even show you when the next update will occur. If you’ve got several accounts with AdSense, the Notifier will show you the stats for the account which you logged into last.

I’ve found that this simple extension helps to keep me on task and stay a bit more productive, as I’m not out there logging in to Google every 20 minutes to see how well I’m doing for the day.

Looks like the National League is almost set and my Mets at least know who they won’t be facing in the playoffs this week (too bad Pedro is done for!). After a week close to death - I had a really bad reaction to Demerol after a basic medical procedure and am still suffering - I figured it was get back online and share my hell with the world.

While roiling in my own personal Hades, I jumped online and found a really cool tool called HitTail.com, which helps you to discover your underused keywords (the long tail). It is really sweet and updates live! After a day and a half, I’ve already started to find some keywords I could optimize for a little better on my sites.

My other majorly cool find earlier today was a little inspirational read about the Internet’s biggest Google whores from SlyRay. The article talks about 8 internet entrepreneurs who have made serious cash with adsense; minimum to be in the club $10,000/month! Not bad.
