To determine how your visitors view the content, the first thing to do is that to analyze each single web page and check how your banner adsense work. To made it, all you need to do is to using the custom channel to know which are your Google AdSense ad units performance.

Set up Custom Channel

As I said first, one of the most important aspects to optimize your banner ads is that to analyze each web page by create a new custom channel.

Log in to your account at adsense

From the links below the AdSense Setup tab, click Channels

Choose the appropriate product sub-tab and click the Custom Channels link

On the resulting page, enter a name that will help you to identify this channel later. For example, carpages or blue_skyscrapers. You can also check the targeting checkbox to have this custom channel displayed to advertisers as a targetable ad placement. If you choose to do so, you’ll need to enter additional details. If not, simply continue to create a custom channel for tracking purposes only.

Click Add channel. Your new channel will be added to the Active Channels list.

To add the channel-specific code to your page:

Click the AdSense Setup page and choose the appropriate product. After choosing your ad type, format, and colors, select up to five custom channels from the Channel list by clicking the add>> link. Then click Continue.

Copy-and-paste the ad layout code into your webpages. The channel identifier within your code will track performance on these pages.

3) Optimize Your Ad Units Design And Performance

The most used Ad units format are:

Leaderboard(728×90)

Wide skyscraper(180×150)

If you want to see flash video I reccomend you to put at least one medium rectangle(300×250) or (250×250) as I made on my left sidebar.

Tracking And Measure Your Result

To generate a report tab on your custom channel click on the advanced report subtab. Select the “channel data” and the channels that you would like to compare. This allows you to compare different ad units based unplacement, color or format. In this example was compared the performance of 160×600 skyscraper against the 300×650 medium rectangle.
