AdSense is a great way to bring create some extra revenue from your sites, but the problem is which sites?
I cant believe there is no way to tell which sites are making how much, without setting up your own account. Its unbelievable. Google has to sort this out soon, especially before Overture releases their equivalent.

You lost me there. Google knows exactly how much each site is making. IMO there is no need for that info to be given to the general public without the publisher's permission.

I think he is referring to the fact that if you are running AdSense on multiple sites with the same account, you can't tell which site is making you money.

It has been reported in other posts that Google is currently working on these reporting features, so they will probably be ready for us by the end of the year.

Yes, thats exactly what I am talking about. I really hope they sort it out soon, because you just dont know how well each site is peforming, you feel really blind.

Google has said that it will be offering a feature to track results on a domain level. It is just a waiting game to see when it will be launched ;)

AdSense is a very young program. I think all the features on the wishlist will probably be available a year from now.

It is very frustration...

I run Adsense on 5 sites all with very different traffic and very different content. I have no idea which one of the sites is brining in what money. I am glad to hear that Google is working on it.

What I do for now, is just take my traffic (monthly) for all 5 sites by percentage and apply that to the total revenue by Adsense. It at least gives me an idea of what the sites are "worth".

whatson,

Depends on how you define "big bucks"
