Taylor – I didn’t even know Google had made such a promise; I can’t see them ever revealing such information as it has the potential to damage their revenues as publishers defect and try to get better deals elsewhere.

Google now has a new section where you can review direct campaigns on your site and accept or reject advertisers. This is great, but they still don’t disclose what you (or they) are making from the placements.

They have continually promised this to their publishers.

Eric – You give a good example of the benefits of advertising relevant sites to your audience. I am not surprised that your affiliation with EVE Online is proving to be more profitable than AdSense as you are simply making your visitors aware of a site/service they are likely to already be interested in.

To be honest, we’ve moved away from Google AdSense and on to working directly with the advertisers. Right now, we’re enjoying a direct affiliation with EVE Online – and it’s working very well!

Michelle – Now that would be useful, eh? Somehow I doubt Google would ever show us those statistics for fear we would cut private ad deals with our best advertisers!

You should be able to get a good idea of the ads your visitors are clicking on though, by setting up channels for your ads (set up a channel for each page, perhaps) and keeping an eye on who is advertising on your site each day.

When you compare your daily revenue to the ads you are seeing on that day, you can get a good idea of the ads your visitors are clicking on.

I’ve done this, too. I really wanted to see a site that came up and nearly clicked on the ad without thinking. Stopped myself just in time and right clicked instead.

What I was hoping this post was about was some yet undiscovered reporting tool that gave me a list of all the advitisers that my visitors had clicked on. Now _that_ would be handy.
