    Hi,

    I want to track what kind of ads and what ads are being clicked in my website the most. May I know whether this is allowed, and how can I do it?

    Thanks,
    Rick

    you can track the location of your ad clicks by using channels

    I want to know what ads are clicked, not the placement :)

    you can try using a statcounter which shows the exit links that were clicked

    Are you sure that is possible by using statcounter? I thought there's no way to find out which ads are being clicked.

    Hey man is that stats you saw in your account or you just saw this information somewhere else . I will say that such kind of services can create disasters for advertisers .

    hmm good idea of using statcounter. I see the link actually contain pub id, will it be counted as clicking on the ads if I click on it?

    I'm not sure if it would be counted as a click, but I wouldn't risk it

    Oh yes, it can be done by using any ad server like OpenX or Asrep.

    Yep, click on Exit Link Activity. But, I've a site in statcounter that I added 9 months ago and it doesnt have this link.

    However it not accurate as it seems to show more "clicks" than what Google says.
