What are the benefits of Adding Channels?

With channels, you can track how well each ad unit is performing. This makes it easier for you to decide whether you want to retain that position or change places of the ads or the size of ad unit. For instance, you can monitor which ad units/sizes works well under ‘Post Title‘ or at the ‘Sidebar‘.

If you keep track of your ads performance for a period of time, you could easily figure out which ad units are performing well and which ones are not. This will boost up your earnings drastically.
