Question about channel stats

Why do they not total the same as aggregate?

I added channels (url channels) for all the pages on which I have adsense ads running but when I do a listing of all channels the totals are less than half of my actual earnings. Is this normal and if so where is the rest and if it's not normal what am I doing wrong?

Your home page is a Gotcha! You can't actually specify a path to it (a URL channel). The only solution is to have a custom channel for your homepage. (Which is very inconvenient for me so I don't do it!)

When Google fetches you home page is says "GET /", No Path. In other words get the default. I've tried all combinations of paths to no avail.
site.com/
site.com
site.com/index.html

Each of the URLS above will return your entire site's income, not the income for your home page. I wish they would fix this.

Get rid of any URL channel pointing to your homepage.
Then you know the answer, what's left after your URL channel total is the homepage income.
Aggregate Total - Total URL channels = Homepage income.

Assuming you have URL channels for all your pages.
