    This is very exciting news – however how about the ip addresses of visitors (and clicks), is this also something which will or can be included to the analytics report(s).

    This is something I ( along with many others ) have been waiting for. It will be so useful to be able to track which ads were clicked on and on which pages. This can be priceless information for publishers who can then use the information to get better results through Adsense.

    Well done Google - lets get this thing started ASAP !!!

    I don't think they will show which ads are being clicked. You can only know which pages the ads are clicked on. But that's enough to get an idea of the keywords that are getting the clicks.

    Good news, I'm tired of looking at 30 different channels when I go to my adsense page. I'll still use them but not as many.

    Huh.

    Google Analytics accuracy is low, at best -- it reports between 10% and 50% of actual traffic on my site with a sample size in the solid six figures per month. It consistently shows fewer pageviews in Analytics than Adsense does, by a significant factor. Y It also doesn't accurately report referring links.

    I do hope the Adsense/Analytics link will be more accurate.

    (Also, I have a developer account with an API site. I wonder how that will work out? I'll have to ask.)

    Thats what I meant - guess I just confused myself. Telling us exactly which ad was clicked on would be a little dangerous and such info would definately be open to be exploited.

    Long Time Problem: Only 200 tracking channels.
    PROBLEM SOLVED!

    I guess now we will be able to get specific page data on 1,000 pages. Great!

    Great news... but don't hold your breath... where's the official link to Google saying this? Do they give a date when it'll be released?
