Not Knowing Where Clicks are Coming From When Using Adsense

For the last two years, I've been optimizing other ppl's websites part-time (have full time job in the IT world) and have been allowing my side biz to slow down since I want to get into IM. However, I've had personal websites out there and the last few months I've been serious about putting more content on these sites. On these pages, I've been putting adsense on them and recently have been dealing with channels.

Recently, I've been experiencing a lot more clicks per day (hey, I'm not complaining about it) and see that some of them are coming from a couple of my main sites. However, I've also been getting clicks where I don't know where they are coming from. They aren't a vast amount, but I would like to know where so I can capitalize on it and expand on these sites. The only thing I know is that about a year ago, I've was setting up bloggers (blogspot) for clients and I had adsense on them. However, I would think Adsense would pick up clicks and report them since they (Google) own blogger.

I guess I'm trying to find out where these additional clicks are coming from. Anyway I can find out?

    hi there,
    I'm having the same problem.. and have try to search for answers, but I guess the answer is simply: you CAN'T.. unless you've create a filter, yes you can. But otherwise, there's no way you can find out.

    You have to have filters installed in adsense to know where the clicks are coming from.

    "Channels" enable you to view detailed reporting about the performance of specific pages and ad units. By assigning a channel to a combination of pages or ad units, you could track the performance of a leaderboard versus a banner, or compare your motorcycle pages to your automobile pages. You can even create a channel to track each of your separate domains, so you can see where your clicks are coming from. While channels can be used to track performance and revenue, they won't have any effect on your earnings or ad targeting.
    There are two types of channels from which to choose: URL channels, and custom channels.
