Any way to track who is clicking?

I have a site with adsense running on it and have traffic coming from several sources. I'm wondering if it would be possible to see who is clicking on the adsense ads by traffic source.

Unless Google has some way to track this (possibly with Analytics), the only way I can think of to do this would be to insert a click-command or parameter that will make a call to my server into the adsense code. This doesn't sound possible at the moment, but I just wanted to see if someone else knows something that I don't.

asRep [asrep.com...] tracks IP addresses which clicks adsense and other ads. I don't remember but I think this property comes only with full version. I purchased that program for its click fraud protection.

There's still no way to see what ads are being clicked on.

A quote from that asrep site:

NEW! June 01, 2007: A fix is released for latest AdSense behavior change that affected click tracking with MSIE5 and MSIE6 browsers. AdSense no longer displays a status bar message that displays the landing page when you click to or mouse over an ad. After this change, clicked-ad-url stats will no longer be available.

Yes, but sodani only wants to know who is clicking ads not what ads have been clicked...

How does it track the adsense click? Do they insert a click command into the adsense code?

No you don't have to edit (of course) adsense code but you must insert a little bit code above and below every adsense ad block and tracking code at the end of the pages...

You can download free version of asrep and try it yourself, requires blank mysql-database and support for php.
