    Custom channels allow you to track the performance of specific groups of ad units. You design your own custom channels and use them to view performance of ad units in ways that are meaningful to you.

    Since you've created a custom channel to track the performance of specific ad units, it's important to know how to view a custom channel report.

    Thanks sucitupx

    Here I need your assistance please to create a custom channel.

    Let's suppose in my Adsense Panel, I have almost 20 Ad units. When I create a new Ad Unit & click on "Create Custom Channel" a window appears with all Ad Units on left, while clicking on these Ad Units, those will moved to right side. I have saved that with a name "abc"... I am unable to understand that how it work???????????????????? I am bit confused, as one ad Unit is of 160 x 600 and another is of 200 x 200 or 468 x 60... Please clear what should I do..... and what If i have existing Ad Units, can you give me some examples or any link with complete examples.

    Waiting

    Custom channel is to track each of your ads, see how the ads perform, see how many clicks they get.

    Yes now I understand that we can analyse which ad unit is performing well or not. We can reset / replace those ad units accordingly that leads to increase revenue. Am right???

    Thanks for help... Hats off to you guys! :)

    Custom channel is very useful to increase your adsense CTR.

    So is it fair to say that a "channel" is the equivalent of an adword "campaign"... just a way to "group" ads into a similar category?

    that means google will be able to specifically let an advertiser pick that exact ad spot on your website. It does not mean you will earn more. the channels are there so you can know which ad is which.
    examples of channels and meaning
    1 SiteABC header ad
    2 SiteABC right side widget
    3 SiteABC footer
    4 Site123 header1 234x60
    5 Site123 header2 234x60
    6 SiteXYZ left sidebar

    etc..



    ----------------------------
    Please explain how it is useful? I think it is useful for tracking, but not useful for getting ppl to click on it, right?

    It is fine if you don't use custom channel, it is useless for me as well.

    Custom channel is to track ads. 90% of the adsense users failed on tracking on their ads.
