Are you losing money with Adsense ?

Posted 4th July 2008 | View Comments

For many small websites and blogs Adsense is there main and sometimes there only source of income , so its important to figure out how to get the most out of your Adsense blocks.There are many ways to improve your earnings but to improve your earning first you must track your earnings and Big G kindly provides a way to track the performance of your ad blocks through channels. I checked with few of my friends who were running Adsense and some haven't heard about them , some have heard about them but never used them and only a few used them :( ,which is strange and since without tracking your clicks you don't know which ones are performing best  :( .

What is a channel ?

Simply put its a easy efficient way to get a detailed report of the performance of a particular ad block or a page. Google provides two kinds of channels making it even more easier to track your performance.

  • URL Channel - Used to track the performance of an particular web page. You can enter a top level domain to track the performance througout the site or you can drill down to specific pages as well.
  • Custom Channel - Can be used to track the performance of a particular ad block or a set of ad blocks , all this are pretty easy to customize so you want have much trouble setting them up.

Adding and setting up a channel

Adding a channel is very easy , log into your Adsense account and and go to the Adsense setup tab. There you will find another tab called channels. Click the Add new custom channels link and you are ready to go , its importand to give a meaningful name to the channel , otherwise you might find yourself in trouble with lots of channels to track and no idea what they represent.myFirstChannel is a bad while RumblingLeaderBoard or RumblingSingleBottom gives more meaning since by simply looking at it I know the site and the ad block im checking out.

Now that you added channels when you creating ad block be sure to track there performance through appropriate channels.When you are adding a ad block you will come across the place to add a channel so add the best suited one start tracking and improve your earnings.Got any trips and tricks to share about using channels ? Be sure to share them in the comments section.

  3. Great, that you’ve mention Adsense Channel.
    Now I will use this “channel” to have that report performance on my ads.
    This way I can follow the block positioning at the page that’s performing the most click.
