Tweak your Adsense Ads Part 2

I was talking about Adsense channels in my previous post. Suppose you have 5 spaces on your website where you can show your ads. And you've published ads as show below or any other way:


Header - (Leaderboard (728 x 90)

Footer - (728x15_4 Link unit)

Body - (Large Rectangle (336 x 280)

Left vertical bar - (200x90_4 Link unit)

Right vertical bar - (Wide Skyscraper (160x600)

How will you know which is performing better or which is not performing at all. Making things more complicated, now suppose you have 2-3 sites with atleast 10 pages each. How can anyone track these data. Answer is Adsense channels.

Quick guide to add and configure channels:

1. Click Link labeled "URL channels"

• Click link labeled "Add new URL channels"
• Type your website's address in box below
• Repeat the process for your other URLs or simply you can type multiple URLs, one URL per line

2. Click Link labeled "Custom channels"

• Click link labeled "Add new custom channels"
• In following page, type a name in the Name field. (e.g. mysite1_header_leader. This is just an example. You can name whatever you want but the point is name should be clear so that by reading its name we can recall exact position of the ad)
• Leave the "Targeting" check box unchecked.
• Click Add channel button. And you are done.

After looking after channels palette, now we will compose our ad in part 3 of this series.
