I wonder if it is possible to know which ads in the publisher site have been clicked ?

Not sure I understand the question. :)

I guess if that publisher shows you their log files you would know.

Thanks doug,

I just mean I myself want to know which ads shown on my site have been clicked. You've just answered my question :) Thanks again

I am a technical newbie :(. Like an infant :o:

It seems that the log file doesn't show the ads' URL ???

I still don't know what ads have been clicked by viewers:(

The log file will only show the exit page and not which of the links on the page were used to exit or whether the window was merely closed. I don't believe it is possible to know exactly how the visitor left.

Barry is right. There is no way of knowing which ad was clicked on and which URL your visitor was sent to.

I am not sure I really understand why you want to know which site your visitor was redirected to. When you place ads on your site using programs such as Google's AdSense or other network syndicated ads, you lose control over that area of real estate on your site in terms of which ad(s) was served and which ad was clicked on. You get paid for the click and that's your return for giving away that part of your web site as advertising space.

If you are looking at this from the angle that your competitors' ads may be showing on your web site, you can add their URL to the URL filter in your AdSense account settings.

HTH!
