Short Guide about Adsense Channel Types
November 6, 2007
So what do you do with them? Create a good set of channels for every domain of yours. Name it in a way you can track easily later as:
mydomain-channelname
What for? To check your stats, and see what is working. Suppose you get good earnings in your homepage but 90% is for rectangular ads and 10% for skycrapers. Wouldn’t be interesting to test what happens if you blow up skycraper and try 2 rectangular ads?
Example: Are german pages getting valuable clicks (more than other language pages also in my site) but I just have 50% of my site translated? Why don’t I focus on developing 100%.
- Ad Type Channels (is it adlinks, search, adblock) and always defining size and kind of the ad IE: “adlinks 4 ads 728×15″
- Language Channels (to track what users are making you earn money) IE: “spanish”, “french”
- Position Channels (where is the ad positioned on page) IE: “top”, “left column”, “bottom”
- URL Channels (what page is paying) IE: “mydomain.com/home”, “mydomain.com/product1.asp”
- Color Schema Ad Channels (what color palette are ads using, you can put palette’s name or description) IE: “contrast, red”, “mypalette1″, “site similar look and feel”
- Visitor Type Channels: Loyal users, new users
