how to track individual ads in channels?

[knights1]

If I have more than one ad per page how do I track individual ones?

Thanks.

I guess you mean 'ad block'?

Let's say you have 3 ad blocks. Go through the process of creating one 'ad block' at a time and create and allocate a new channel to each ad block before you cut and paste the code into your code.

I don't understand, make a channel for what? The pagre with only one ad block? Doesn't the url stay the same as i update it to have 2 ad blocks?

Thanks.

There's no relationship between URL and channel (as such).

You can have 3 ad blocks on one page (one URL), each ad block having it's own channel.

well than could you please go into more depth about how to create a channel for each ad block.

Thanks.

1) Firstly create as many channels as you are going to need (say 3) (https://www.google.com/adsense/channel-edit)

2) Go to the page for creating "Ad layout code" (https://www.google.com/adsense/code)

3) On that page, when you get to the part where you can specify a channel, select one channel (say "channel 1")

4) Copy this code to your page (this is one ad block).

Repeat steps 2, 3 and 4 but on step 3 the second time through select 'channel 2' and then 'channel 3' on the third time through.

If that's not what you're after perhaps you should send them an email?

PS. You can also further track URLs against ad blocks (eg. say you have 3 pages with the same 3 ad blocks on each, you can filter you report down to ad block / url combination - 9 discrete revenue tracks in this case).
