AdSense Tip #8: Access your console from alternate domains

It's rare, but on occasion access to the AdSense management console is unavailable from the usual www.google.com/adsense address. If it's not working and you really need to check your earnings, try logging in through one of the alternate domains like www.google.ca/adsense or www.google.fr/adsense, since these entry points may be up even if the main "google.com" site is down or inaccessible. You'll get a "Domain name mismatch" error from your browser because the security certificate is for "google.com" and not "google.ca" or "google.fr", but if you just ignore that you can still access the management console. You may have to select a different language using the language selection box at the top of the login page -- for example, "google.fr" defaults to (big surprise) French text.
