How do I create URL channels?

URL channels are easy to implement. There are no changes to your AdSense ad code, so you can create your channels from within your publisher account, and immediately begin tracking performance.

You can use URL channels to track individual pages, or to track groups of pages based on the directory structure of your site.

To track a single page : enter the full path of the page in step 3 below:

Example : example.com/sample.html

To track a script that generates multiple pages : enter the full path of the script, without the '?', in step 3 below. This will track example.com/sample.asp?keyword=one, example.com/sample.asp?keyword=two , etc.

Example : example.com/sample.asp

To track all pages below a specific directory : enter a partial URL in step 3 below.

Example : example.com/sample

To track only pages across a specific subdomain : enter the subdomain in step 3 below.

Example : sports.example.com

To track all pages on a domain: enter the domain name in step 3 below. To track all impressions and clicks across the domain (including any existing subdomains), enter the domain name without the 'www'.

Example : example.com

To create a URL channel:

1.Log in to your account at https://www.google.com/adsense
2.Click the Channels link below the AdSense Setup tab.
3.Choose the AdSense for content sub-tab and click the URL Channels link
4.Click Add new URL channel, and in the resulting text box, enter the URL that you would like to track.
5.Click Add channels.

The new URL channel will begin tracking data almost immediately.

Keep in mind that because URL channels don't require changes to your code, there's no need to designate a URL channel when generating your AdSense code. Once you've created a URL channel, it will track automatically.
