Clicks in Channels don't match

[leonardp]

I made channels for all the directories on my websites plus one channel for the whole site and one for the index page.

So I have:

example.com
example.com/dir
example.com/dir2
example.com/index.html

Almost every day I notice that the example.com counts a number of clicks, say 10 but when I look at my channels I'm missing clicks.

clicks 10 example.com
clicks 5 example.com/dir
clicks 2 example.com/dir2
clicks 1 example.com/index.html

I am sure that is do have a channel for each directory including my index page. Is there an explanation for this?

clicks 10 example.com
clicks 5 example.com/dir
clicks 2 example.com/dir2
clicks 1 example.com/index.html

I think that would mean that you had 2 clicks from the root, 5 clicks from /dir, 2 clicks from /dir2 and 1 click from /index.html

The example.com tracks all clicks from every subdirectory if I have understood channels correctly.

Thus, if you had a fifth channel named example.com/index that channel would also have received one click for the above example.

I believe that the following pages are counted differently by adsense:
- www.example.com/index.html
- www.example.com/

Obviously, Adsense bot can't be sure sure that index.html is your index page.

I can make an extra channel but there's no other directory. No dir /index or another file in the root of my site bu the index.html file and some dirs.

I am sure it's my index page ;) I can't make another channer www.example.com/ because i get a warning 'www.example.com' already exist.

I would like to have a channel for a whole domain and channels for the dirs (sections) and files (subsections). Should be possible, right?

It's possible. But make a custom channel for that instead.

And, as far as the url filter goes

example.com/i == example.com/ind == example.com/index == example.com/index.htm

Hi leonardp -

I recommend using custom channels rather than URL channels, as these will more accurately track clicks from specific ad units.

Hope this helps,
