Overall Satisfaction with Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense to track how much we are making off ads on two sites and a YouTube channel. The two sites comprise a blog with educational articles and an e-commerce store that sells digital goods to designers. The e-commerce brand has a Youtube video were we post tutorials for designers and also acts as a traffic channel to funnel watchers to the store.

Google AdSense is suited to scenarios where you want to keep track how much revenue you are making from multiple ad units on multiple sites. Each ad unit can be isolated to understand how much it's bringing in and whether or not it's beneficial to keep it running. Testing of different sized ad units is covered by the platform. It is not useful if you want to know the breakdown revenue of different ad units from YouTube.
