Track the clicks on AdSense Ads

[reteep]

Is there a tool available for that or is it possible with Google Analytics?

Something that shows on which site the Ad has been clicked, when and how often.

Anyone knows?

Put this code near footer

<script type="text/javascript">
function adclick() {
	if(window.status.indexOf('go to') == 0) {
		urchinTracker ('/aclick');
	}
}
	
var elements;
if(document.getElementsByTagName) {
	elements = document.body.getElementsByTagName("IFRAME");
} else if (document.body.all) {
	elements = document.body.all.tags("IFRAME");
} else {
	elements = Array();
}
	
for(var i = 0; i < elements.length; i++) {
	if(elements[i].src.indexOf('googlesyndication.com') > -1) {
		elements[i].onfocus = adclick;
	}
}
</script>

And then set www.yoursite.com/aclick as goal in analytics.
It will track approx adsense clicks

cool code

if you know how to code PHP or perl etc., you can also record where does the click go like this

==================================================
original
function adclick() {
if(window.status.indexOf('go to') == 0) {
urchinTracker ('/aclick');
}
}
==================================================
modified
function adclick() {
if(window.status.indexOf('go to') == 0) {
var beacon_image = new Image;
beacon_image.src = "http://www.yourdomain.com/adrecord.php?record=" + window.status;
}
}
==================================================

where adrecord.php is the page with "record" passing as parameter and you can do some processing also.

btw, :p, you can add some timestamp and whatever to your analysis

I tried to make it by setting adsense link as analytics goal, but without success. Maybe the best way is to use some of ref scripts from above ^^

Handy link. I might just try to see if I can get this to work.

Hai! There is another tool called adlogger available to track the adsense click in your site. For that you have to sign up with them and attach the code along with the adsense code and then upload them to the server. You will be getting mails daily from the admin, adlogger about the daily clicks report.
