Secret Aggregate Money - Where Is It?

    Usually, I have ignored slight differences between Aggregate data and Channel data. But Today . . .

    Channel data= $x
    Aggregate data = 2 times $x

    Where's the money, and how do you find out where it is coming from?

    I don't use the 10 URL channels for reasons mentioned elsewhere - double counting among them.
    I use all 100 individual channels, one per html page. There are no pages with AdSense, that are not in a channel (that I know of).

    Today, Google tells me I am getting just as much money from a secret (unknown) page using AdSense, as I am getting from ALL 100 CHANNELS?!? Can anyone suggest an easy way to determine which page(s) produced the healthy clicks? Is there any way to find your own pages that have AdSense on them, but are not included in Channel data? I really don't want to check them all one-by-one. I'd probably miss it anyway.

    It might be tallying the same channel twice--- for instance, if you have say-- yirmumah.net listed as a url channel and it's selected-- then you track all your channels, it will show up as way more money than you've actually made. If that makes sense.

    There's also no way you're making money from a page you don't know about.

    I would suggest giving every placement and page it's own channel if you can-- keep it sorted like "STORE PAGE 468 top" so you're able to see if specific ad units are clicked or note---

    Yeah what yirmumah said. This is fairly common. If you select all channels and have created your own channels and use URL channels as well this will happen unless you deselect the URL channels before running the report.
