Are you suffering from obsessive webmaster syndrome?
I am writing this article due to the bad habits which us webmasters have. We often get obsessed with certain things and repeatedly check to see changes. I myself suffer from the webmaster syndrome and im sure you probably do to.
- Traffic obsession syndrome.
Symptoms include: Checking awstats more than once a day, checking everyday and checking alexa rankings daily to see if you have changed. This can often lead to a feeling of disappointment - Money Infactuation
Symptoms include: Opening up adsense when you open up the browser first, checking earning when you wake up in the morning. Predicting your earning when you are in bed about to sleep. - PageRank Crazy
Symptoms include: Constantly checking your predicted page rank and live page rank and posting a “whens the next update going to be” threads in forums. Can often lead to anxiety and paranoia.
These are the main three illnesses amongst webmasters. If you suffer from all three you could become a geek, resulting in poor eyesight, sensitivity to light, paranoia, anxiety, sleep deprivation and depression.
The only way to beat the addiction is to attend rehab. You will have to leave you computer for numerous weeks to get the internet out of your system. It has also been rumored google is to launch a special rehab clinic for the worst sufferers.

The first thing I do when I wake up (other than play Animal Crossing on my DS) is to check my traffic and click stats!
