Track your Adsense trends!

Software

Monitoring your Adsense income can be fun, especially if your site is performing better and better over time.

But is it? Unless you are a major publisher, your income might very well fluctuate a lot and it's hard to see any trends by just looking at the numbers.

Adsense Performance Grapher is a small utility I have written to assist me in the monitoring of smaller sites. It takes an Google Adsense CSV report as input and then creates a wonderful graph including running averages highlighting short-term and long-term trends:

In the past I used to copy data into a spreadsheet for an analysis, but in the end this resulted in too much manual labour. Adsense Performance Grapher automates this task, saving me time. Being nice and all that, I've decided to publish the software as a web service, so every publisher can try it out and take advantage of it.

Integrate AdSense with Google Analytics

Software

Yesterday I found a great resource: the ability to track AdSense clicks in a Google Analytics account. This gives publishers a more advanced way to track their best-performing content, as well as the ability to analyse cross-segment performance. As a further benefit, this makes URL and content channels in AdSense a bit redundant, allowing publishers to focus on style/shape/positioning channels in the actual AdSense reports.
