Custom search engine, adsense, and analytic?

Using analytics to monitor adsense on a google custom search engine

Hello,

I've just set up a site for a series of google custom search engines (there's no real content). Adsense provides paid ads to accompany the results, and I can see in my Adsense account that some of the ads are being clicked. I'm using Analytics for tracking and it's successfully recording users on the site.

However, Analytics is not giving me any info on Adsense--it always says that the Adsense revenue is 0 (even though it isn't).

Is this normal? Is there any way to see what ads (or keywords) are generating the revenue? Is it ever possible to see such things (I'm new to all of this)? Could another tracking program (e.g. Statcounter) give me the info?

Thanks,
Daniel

We use Statcounter for a CSE and no, it can't.
The way Google serves the SERPs means that the best you can do is list the daily rev in one column of an Excel spreadsheet and the keywords searched that day in a second and see if you can spot any trends (which are then complicated by the location of the searcher, etc)
