aggregate total higher than channels?

    My aggregate numbers are much higher than the sum of the channels. I think that one of my sites has code for a channel that doesn't exist anymore, or is somehow screwed up. But, I can't find which channel!

    Is there a way to see which sites the clicks are coming from so I can hunt down the ad thats not showing up in the channel report??

    The un-channelled traffic is 5 or six times more than the traffic in channels! So, I'm prety curiuos where it's coming from..

    Either you forgot to channel some pages/sites or someone is using your code.

    Strange development!

    I located an ad with a typo, and that explained the unchanneled clicks. Then I turned on the URL channels so I could compare the sum of the channels against the sum of the URL channels. I located a couple of disrepancies and fixed the adsense code.

    Now, my channels are higher than my aggregate!!!! How can that possibly be?


    The difference is fairly small this time (i.e. 5-10%) but still.. very odd! Could it be PSA's or something else skewing the numbers?

    Also - does anyone have any opinions on Adsense Gold? It's heavily marketed, so I'm wary of it. But, I could use an ehnanced tracking system.
