I’ve been experimenting with ads again recently. Both Chitika and AdSense drive me crazy. Half the time the numbers on the reports don’t ad up and they never balance with your web stats.
I hate that AdSense only reports on what channels have had activity, not on the actual ads. It’s ridiculous, just show me which ads were seen and clicked. Instead I end up creating one channel per ad, which is just a pain in the ass, and then things still don’t ad up. For instance it will show 100 ads have been clicked but only 99 clicks have happened on any available channel. So where did the other click come from?
The way these ads are set up just begs for people to stop using them. I think of them as what I use as an experiment or when I can’t think of anything else. We’ll see what happens.
