Aggregate vs. All active channels - BIG difference!?

I'd expect some difference, but not this much...

I just noticed that comparing the two my earnings jump by about 25% when using All Active channels instead of Aggregate, why is that? Anyone know which is closer to correct?

This could be because some channel totals will overlap depending on how it is set up. If you are tracking both url's and code placed channels, some could be counted twice.

Clearvision is right, if you track

widgets.com

and also

widgets.com/blue/

the channels stats will ad them together, even though it is the same $$$

as clearvision said - If you had a url channel like yourdomain.com/mychannel/ and then another like yourdomain.com/mychannel/mychannel2/ and have both listed as URL channels you would be counting yourdomain.com/mychannel/mychannel2/ twice or of course you have an ad channel and a URL channel which are the same

thanks, that is exactly what I'm doing. kind of surprised G would double up things like that, but good to know anyway!
