Adsense, which ads are getting clicked?

[weinerschizel]

I have a quick question. I recently put adsense on my site to see what products my visitors are interested in.

It's getting consistent clicks... However, I have no idea how to tell which page generated the clicks, and which ads generated the most clicks.

I see there's custom channels and url channels features. How do those work? How can I pick apart and see which ads are generating the most revenue for me? And which channels are getting that revenue?

Are there tutorials out there on how to do this? I find adsense extremely easy to integrate into the page but difficult to get any data on... Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!!

If you connect Google Adwords to Adsense then you can see which pages are making your money. As for individual ad units, I create channels for each of my websites and then when I create an ad unit I am very specific with what I name it:

So if an ad was a 468x60 and it was in the header of my site, I would call the ad unit: 'Niche 468x60 Header', that way when I choose to look at my earnings based on my ad units I can quickly tell which units are converting the best.

Hey thanks for the tip. I'm creating custom url channels now like you said.

But I'm not sure how to link my adsense to my adwords account. I do have accounts in both services but looking through the help and searching the web I've been unable to find out how to do that.

Thanks!

I think it is additional code on your analytics code.

Here is a link I found inside my Analytics account that points to a help file:

Arg.... lol

Thanks so much for the help. I just spent about an hour trying to get it to work. None of the help instructions from google were right all of the screens and links changed w/ the new analytics setup.

Then realized google hasn't put that feature back into the new analytics. So only people who had it linked before can get it to work.

Looks like I'm stuck unless there's some sort of hack to get it working?
