"Recovering Adsense Addict Warns Digital Photographers And Online Entrepreneurs To Be Careful You Don't Lose Your Mind... Over The G-Dollars..."
"Over
time,
my whole life was
shattered.
Every
few hours I would desperately steal a quick look,
see how many g-dollars I had made. I was fast
turning into a glassy-eyed, ruthless, Adsense
junkie, desperate to get my daily g-fix. It was
becoming a huge time sucker. I couldn't even be
away from my 'puter for long periods of
time."
"Even worse, (I've never revealed this before in public either) I had picked up a nasty, caffeine habit. That was something to do with late nights alone with my iMac, and the solitude of the Internet marketing profession."
"Anyway, with a highly volatile mix like that, you end up with smokin' dynamite. So I knew I had to do something about it, and fast, or something was gonna blow."
Hurley went to work quietly on a small, powerful piece of software as a personal solution for his serious g-dollar addiction. But as he worked on it, he realized many others were probably spending ridiculous amounts of time checking their Google Adsense too.
That made him decide to release his software to the general public, to help others stop flirting away their precious time, and start focusing their time on more productive methods of business.
Although he also mentions in passing that the software cannot stop you from drinking your own choice of good coffee. (Actually I just observed him drinking something too, and it did smell like a high quality blend of fine Arabian coffee).
What the software does is quite revolutionary. It actually limits users access to their own Google Adsense account. It can be set so that a user can access their account either once a day, or once a week, or even, for extreme 'Adsense addictions' once a month.
Along with this easily downloadable software comes an 'Adsense addictions' club where 'users' can get together and do stuff that people usually do in clubs. Like, um, talk about stuff.
Hurley says he has his software set up so that he can view his g-dollars just once a week. "I'm happy with that. I've really cut back on this one. This has given me a whole new leash on life, more free time to focus on traffic building and creating photo products.
Plus I'm more relaxed. I can go and walk the dog and not think about getting the fix once."
The software is currently available at no cost and you'll find it at: Martin Hurley's design and photography blog

PHOTOGRAPHER INVENTS ADSENSE G-DOLLAR
LOCKER
OCTOBER 2007
For immediate Release
Martin Hurley, an entrepreneur and digital photographer who resides in Thailand, has created software that stops internet marketing newbies and enthusiasts from looking at their Google Adsense earnings too often.
Hurley says, "I tell you, I know how addictive that first taste of income, that first Google dollar (G-dollar) is. It's like nothing else on earth. It's divinely better than any funny smelling, green New Zealand herb..."
He goes on to say, "What happened was that I developed a problem... every day I just couldn't help but to sneak a look in at my Adsense earnings. At first, I was disciplined - I just peeked a little in the morning and in the evening. But then, as I started to hit more and more traffic, things spiraled way out of hand."

A normal dude... who went from relaxed and friendly to 'got to check my Adsense' every hour, and addicted to caffeine too. Things are better now, and we can all learn from this experience...
