Stat inconsistencies..

    Every page on my websites are added as channels on my AdSense account. So recently I've been checking my stats more exactly, breaking down where most of my clicks/best payouts come from. On my main report page, my stats for yesterday are listed at:
    110 clicks, $15.91 earned.
    When I got to my advanced reports (with channel break-down), my stats are listed as:
    168 clicks, $20.69 earned.

    Problem is, only the first report stats are added to my totals. Is something wrong here, or is this normal? Is there a good explanation for these inconsistencies?

    The explanation is that in your advanced reports you are seeing two or more times the same clicks. what you really earn is what you see in your main report page.

    Why are the same clicks being displayed more than once, that makes no sense.
    All of my channels are different, if that is what you mean.

    this means that if you had two channels like this for example:

    yoursite.com
    yoursite.com/forum

    and you get 15 clicks for yoursite.com but 3 of these clicks come from yoursite.com/forum you will see this in your advanced report:

    yoursite.com 15
    yoursite.com/forum 3
    Total 18

    But this total is not real because it counts twice the same 3 clicks.

    I hope you will understand me because my english is not very good.
