The intergration of your Google Adsense account with your Google Analytics account is now possible, thanks to Google.
First of all, you have to ask them, meaning Google to allow you to link them both together, i did this by simply clicking on a small text news item in my Adsense account.
It only took about 1 week for them to allow me to link them both together, now i am finally seeing the benefits of this.
You might ask, Why will this help me?
Lets say your like me and use Blogger and Adsense to make a good amount of money everyday. Somedays i can earn $10.00 from one blog, for a decent amount of Ad Clicks. The next day i can have the same amount of Ad Clicks, but only earn around $0.80 cent! This really annoys me, but not anymore.
Features included with this include-
Top Content Adsense Ad's Clicked Adsense Earnings
And so much more.
Like most people, i have been waiting for this moment for years!
Once you get your Adsense and Analytics accounts linked together you will see this-
This is exactly what you will see once Google allows you to link together, so now you can check your daily earnings and then quickly skip over to analytics at the click of a link.
How to add Adsense to Analytics
Adsense Ad's - Which work the best?
This is one of the most asked questions in the Google Adsense world.
Which ad's work best and which ad's are running on my website or blog.
Google has the answer, you can download the Google Adsense Preview Tool.
This cool piece of software, will show you which ad's are running on your website or blog.
Their are a few options too, i live in Spain and because my IP address is here, i get lots of Adsense Ad's that are Spanish and based in Spain and even my area. This will obviously not show which Ad's are running in lets say, San Francisco, California.
This is quite a draw back for me, but after a using the Choose Options menu, it is possible to see Ad's from different locations around the world.
Download the Preview Tool Here. You must use Microsoft Internet Explorer for this tool to work.
And whatever you do, don't click on your own ad's, thats just plain silly!

Adsense - Less is More
One of the most important things to remember with Adsense is, Less is More.
Some Bloggers think if the ad is their as soon as the page loads, im going to get a click, well it dosent work like that. People have visited your page because they wanted to, not just to come, click the ad and leave. A lot of Adsense publishers actually hide their ad away in a corner, it works better for them.
Everyone is different and it will take time for you to find which ad size, colour and placement is best for you, try different ads every few weeks and see how your earnings differ.
Google also has YouTube video clips as well as the normal Text and Image units, why not try these out too, you can find these in your Adsense account under Set-up.
