Channel assignments link your ad to your report, thus allowing you to know which particular ad style and location are getting the best results and which ads you need to change to see better results.
- After making your selections for that particular ad, Adsense generates the JavaScript code for you to copy and paste into the html of your website. Paste the Adsense code exactly where you want it to appear inside your webpage, but do not for any reason alter the Adsense code as this is against the Adsense policies. It's advisable to note that the location is important, ads at the top, on the left, and near site navigation tend to get a higher degree of exposure to website visitors therefore producing a higher number of clicks from those visitors. You can reuse the Adsense code over and over again on the same page or different pages of your website or even a seperate website. Just remember to not use more then 3 Ad for Content or 3 Link Ads on any single page.
