    A Google add channel is simply a label. You create it inside your Google account in order to be able to see impressions, clicks, CPM and earnings from a particular ad placement on your site - or perhaps a group of ad placements.

    For example - you may place an google add in the upper right of your page - you could create a channel "upper_right" - then you would be able to see how that specific placement performs.

    It does not have to be limited to a single placement - it could refer to the same position on multiple pages of your site - or it could be something far more abstract that you are interested in tracking.

    The bottom line is that it is a label - or category if you will - that allows you to separate out and track your earnings and understand them more precisely on Adsense.

    Side note is it's still kind of amazing how few of the other major networks have adopted this very useful and simple concept.

    Simple answer: No it's not required that you have an ad channel. It IS useful for statistics and similar though..
