   My numbers for last month are off, but by less than $0.25. Same for this month so far. I must have an ad somewhere without a channel set.

   Yes, but why would the channel numbers be *more* than the aggregate numbers in my case?

   I compared last month’s aggregated earnings with last month’s all channels earnings and found that channels earnings were nearly twice the aggregated earnings.
   The amount in the payment history corresponds to the aggregated earnings.

   I believe if you have a channel set up for something like: sub.domain.com

   the stats for sub.domain.com and domain.com will both be counted (one counted twice, since domain.com is in sub.domain.com i think) or something screwy. I’ve seen weirdness, but haven’t looked into it enough to know why.

   Hmm wait, my mistake.
   I forgot to remove the URL channels.
   Now I get a difference of $0.05

   The difference is 14 cents in my case, and higher in aggregate than by channel.

   Let me check … almost no money in one case … practically no earnings in another … no, I’ve got same results

   I have the ads running on both lr2.com and anton.lr2.com and I setup two channels as those names.

   lr2.com seems to mirror the aggregated numbers.
   anton.lr2.com is a subset of lr2.com.

   Here are my numbers this month:
   Agregated – $blah blah
   lr2.com – $blah blah
   anton.lr2.com – $blah blah
   anton and lr2.com – $blah blah

   anton.lr2.com seems to be a subset of lr2.com. I also have some channels setup like lr2.com/archives/2004, and they also seem to be a subset of lr2.com.

   Anton Olsen, I didnt think you were suppose to disclose that information

    Actually Tom, AdSense did change their disclosure agreement.

    Tom, I hadn’t thought of that, but after reading Mark’s comment I went to read the terms, and they do state I can’t share click through rates, or other statistics related to site performance, however I may share gross payments.

    So it’s up for argument if my small amount of channel information is considered site performance, or a gross amount. Either way I don’t see any harm as it’s not enough information to really mean anything.

    I can always claim that I made up those numbers as an example too, um, yeah, that’s what I did.
