I added my google adsense to two further sites but overlooked adding new channels in my account - will google pay me for any clicks the sites registered before they were added as new channels?
Should, from what I understand channels are just for your information so you can track which ads are doing better.
They will definately pay you, channel are just for your own reference/information as mentioned by browie. Goodluck
Thanks Also Once I've added the channels will they be updated retrospectively with clicks and payment information? They haven't been so far (a few hours later) how long will this take?
Channels only help You track your performance. To determine from where You Are Getting the best result. You must be paid as where ever you put your adsense ads. Learn Adsense Basics
Any clicks made before you create channel won't show up. Also if you have a channel and you delete it & then add it again, all records of that channel will be lost.
Thanks. I am to understand that I'll be paid for the clicks but they won't show up? If that is the case I'll attribute payments above total shown on my adsense account to the channels not then added. Yes? Clarification would be most appreciated, sorry to be so pedantic.
