Creating Custom Channels
To create new custom channels, follow these steps:
- Click the AdSense for Content or AdSense for Search tab, depending on which feature you want to use.
- Click the + Add New Custom Channels link.
- In the large edit box that appears, enter the names you want to assign to
your custom categories. (Use names that make sense to you based on the type of
ads or the type of pages for which you’ll use them.) Put one name on each
line; press Return or Enter after each one. Figure 4 shows an example.

Creating URL Channels
To create URL channels, follow these steps:
- Click the AdSense for Content tab.

created appears (see Figure 6).
Figure 6 Here are the URL channels I’ve already created.
- Click the + Add New URL Channels link.
- In the large edit box that appears, enter the URLs you want to track in
channels. (Consult the Example URL Channels area on the right side of the tab
for ideas.) Put one URL on each line and press Return or Enter after each one.
Figure 7 shows an example in which I’ve added two URLs to track
directories (2007 and blogging) and one URL to track a
specific page.

- Click the Add Channels button. The big edit box closes and the URLs you
entered are added to the list (see Figure 8).
