The new system makes it much easier for me. The stats seem very accurate.

Google have just answered this very question.

On my site the site targeted ads have much lower CTR and eCPM. It’s great they’ve added this feature to reporting, but now we need a way to turn off site targeted ads. Seems like I’m not the only one missing out on earnings from them.

The ability to see information about the targeting type is really useful.
I was very surprised to see that site-targeted ads have a much lower eCPM on my sites!
Would someone have an explaination?

I’m kind of shocked to see that someone’s actually targeted my site – I didn’t think we were big enough to get the attention.

@Stephen – AdSense *say* they only run these things if the eCPM works out better for you, so assuming they’re being honest about this, it could be that they’re showing these on ad units that have a lower eCPM, or maybe running them at times or on specific pages that would otherwise tend to do badly.

Huh, on the plus side I seem to be gettin up to 10% site targetted ads, but on the downside, I almost always earn less from them in terms of eCPM than the contextual ads. Should I turn off the “advertise on this site” feature?

[...] En principio supuse que el rediseño de la interfaz de Adsense era simplemente una forma de lavado de cara pero ProBlogger me hizo notar que hay nuevas funcionalidades en el sistema de reportes. [...]

Yeah, 1% of site-targeted ads looks like close to what I’m getting as well. If they appear, that’s fine, but they really aren’t making me that much money.

On the other hand, the new reporting quickly showed me that I actually made a $100 from an AdSense referral last week, a fact I somehow missed.

Interesting… I always wondered what kind of ads were being run on my sites. Most are contextual but I have a fair number of Site ads and to be honest, contextual advertising is beating site advertising hands down…
