Google AdSense Reports to Appear in Google Analytics - [Screenshots] Posted: 11 Sep 2008 11:32 PM PDT Have you ever wished that you could get more details of how your AdSense performance is going and wondered why Google AdSense and Google Analytics don’t have some way of talking to one another to give you more effective metrics? Well it seems that the time is coming soon where you’ll be able to read AdSense stats in your Analytics reports. The kinds of stuff you’ll be able to see:
Digital Inspiration has just published some screenshots of the new reports that we’ll hopefully be able to find in Google Analytics soon. For example this ‘Top AdSense Content’ page looks at your different pages of content and how they perform (click to enlarge): This is the ‘AdSense Overview’ page: The AdSense Revenue Page (which gives a graph of AdSense earnings over time) ‘AdSense Content’ Page AdSense Referring Sites Page: This kind of reporting is something that AdSense publishers have been asking for years. It is going to open up some amazing possibilities for optimizing your content for AdSense. The only question is - when will it become available??? Interestingly the AdSense blog is saying that AdSense will be down for maintenance this Saturday (13th) between 10am to 2pm PDT. Perhaps what they’re doing is getting this new launch ready? UpdateI’ve asked Google for comment on this and they responded with a ‘no comment’. However I’ve been hearing from a number of services that the maintenance this weekend is NOT to put this new functionality in place and that it’s probably a couple of weeks away before we’ll see this released. |
How Do You Define ‘Great Content’? Posted: 11 Sep 2008 01:31 PM PDT Blogging advice articles all seems to include the matra - “create great content”. The theory goes that if you create great content people will come to your blog, link to it, pass it on to friends, bookmark it and your blog will grow. OK - we’ve heard the ‘write great content’ thing over and over again. But what is this ‘great content’ thing that we talk about? How do you define it (or can you at all)? What is Great Content? I’m interested in how you’d answer this question. Looking forward to seeing what discussion emerges. Feel free to answer as a comment below of if you want to take it up as a post on your blog - please leave a link in comments so we can track what everyone is writing. |
