Google Analytics: can you to which site visitors leave?

    Hello everyone!

    I have a small question.
    I just saw in my Adsense stats that 3 people visited my blog today and one of them clicked on an adsense ad (one click, one dollar which is quite a lot I think) Now I checked in analytics and I saw that these three people where visiting two of my pages. Now I'm wondering, on which page did the one who clicked on the adsense ad left my site?

    Is there a possibility to see this?
    Thanks in advance,
    golasso.

    Google goes to great lengths to hide this from you. If it was easy to find out you could bypass Google and strike a deal directly with Advertisers.

    By integrating analytics, you can find the visitir details.. but not the advertisers details

    As I read the question again today I'm not sure I understood you yesterday. Yesterday I thought you wanted to know where the visitors were going, but today it seems like you want to know which page they left from.

    If you want to know where they went, you can't without exploiting a browser security flaw that might not even exist because Adsense is displayed in an iframe and cross-domain security policies prevent cross-domain communication.

    Now, if you want to know which one of your pages the visitor was on when they clicked the ad, well, for this time there's no way to figure that out because Adsense doesn't track that for you by default. However, you can integrate your Adsense and Analytics accounts so that you can see which pages are generating the most revenue.

    It's been a long time since I integrated my Analytics and Adsense accounts, and they've since changed interfaces, so I'm not sure how it's done these days, but look for a link in your Adsense control panel that mentions integrating the two.

    After you integrate the two, you can edit existing Analytics profiles to enable collection of Adsense data. There should also be a small piece of javascript that looks like the following that they want you to place in pages before and ads so that Adsense knows which Analytics profile to send stats to.

    <script type="text/javascript">
    window.google_analytics_uacct = "UA-1234567-8";
    </script>
    Code (markup):
    Shortly after the time you've integrated the accounts, and enabled collection in your Analytics profiles, you should be able to access Adsense data in the Content -> Adsense section of Analytics. Certain other reports will also start displaying Adsense Revenue tabs along with the "Site Usage" and "Goal Set #" tabs. For instance if you want to know whether anyone visiting your site using IE6 ever clicks ads, you can look at the Adsense Revenue tab in the "Visitors -> Browsers" report. :)

    I understand that you can't find out which advertisers visitors are clicking on, but what about non-advertiser links (hard-coded external links)?

    Can GA tell you something like 'Top Exit Destinations' ?

    If you use the Analytics API and event tracking you can track exit destinations if you monitor links on your page with the API.
