Google Adsense locate URL of channel hits

purg · Jul 16, 2009

Ive got a couple of channels that I get hits from but dont know where they come from!!

For example
(not real figures for G terms)
Channel1 gets 5 hits and 4 clicks making £0.80 in a single day but happends once or twice a month.

I would like to know where the URL hits are comming from but dont know where to start.

Doesn't the google tracking software help with that? You embed it on a page, tells you referring keyword and url etc or is that just for ppc?

go into 'AdSense Setup'

click on the 'Channels' section

and then instead of 'Custom channels' click on 'URL channels'

then 'Add new URL channels'

then add the url of your site

bingo..... I dont know the URL the adsense block is coming from, just the channel on the adsense report pages. Im getting money from some URL but might not even be my domains/sites if someone scraped a site.

Might be one of my sites, might be someone else.

I think someone took a page from my sites but didnt remove the google adsense code.

dont think you can do it from within Adsense

what about copying the adsense code for that channel and searching for that some how,

i tried using some of my own code and putting it in copyscape, it did not work due to it searching the body text sections of websites and not the <head>,
but maybe something along those lines would,
