The performance reports in your AdSense account are key to understanding your earnings and to identifying optimization opportunities. We're continuously reviewing your feedback in order to improve the reporting functionality for you. Today, we're excited to announce the launch of two new, long-awaited features that provide you with a more detailed segmentation of traffic in your reports.
Combining different reporting dimensions
The Countries report shows your performance broken down by the country of users who engaged with the ads on your pages. In addition to viewing a country breakdown for reports by ad type, bid type, and targeting type, you'll now also be able to see a Countries report when viewing the reporting dimensions URL channel, custom channel, and ad unit. This will allow you to segment your traffic further and get a better understanding of your account performance in different locations.
Please note that the country breakdown of reports by URL channel, custom channel, and ad unit will only be available for reports with date ranges starting March 9th and later.
Introducing a new reporting dimension
In order to help you get more granular insights into your performance on a site level, we're introducing a new reporting type for Owned sites. "Owned" sites are all sites specified as owned in the site management feature, and the new reporting dimension for Owned sites will be a subset of the Sites report. In contrast to the Sites report, however, you'll be able to combine the Owned sites report with the Countries report. This will allow you to segment your traffic in more detail and understand the performance of your sites across different countries
Please note that historical data in Owned sites reports will be available from the date that a site was added or claimed as "owned". You'll only be able to view country breakdowns for Owned sites for reports with date ranges starting March 22nd 2011 or later. If a site is removed from the "Owned" sites list, it will no longer show in the report.
We hope that the improvements to our reporting features will help you better segment and understand where your users are coming from and whether there are performance differences across different countries. You can also use this information to isolate potential invalid activity. Unexpected use can be a sign that you are receiving potential invalid activity. Please share your feedback on our AdSense+page and let us know what you found out thanks to these new functionalities.
