I'm also a fan of AdSense for content link units. As we've mentioned before, these units pack a big punch while conserving your screen real estate and can be a great addition to a page that's already using one of our many other products. We've also been doing a lot of work lately to improve the targeting of link units.
This is why I'm happy to announce that my two loves are now coming together. As of today, we've enhanced your reports so that you can view the performance of link units separately from your other AdSense for content units. Even better, the link unit-specific reports contain more information about your link units. A lot of publishers have been asking us for more statistics on their link units, such as the per-link CTR and the number of click-throughs to the link units results page.
To view your new, improved reports, visit the Advanced Reports page under your Reports tab and select AdSense for content. You'll notice a new option to customize your reports -- 'Choose Units'. A 'Combined' report will look just like the data you're used to seeing in your AdSense for content reports, while choosing 'Ad Units' or 'Link Units' will help you look at things with more granularity.
Please note that data is only available dating back to May 2007. Right now, we're having a little issue where, if you generate a report with a date range starting any earlier than May 2007, our report won't show any data, even if there is data after May 2007. Rest assured that our engineers are aware of the issue and are working to display all available data even if the date range starts before May 2007.
Remember, you're allowed to put up to three link units on any given page in addition to your three regular ad units. With better reporting and improved performance, now is the perfect time to start using link units if you aren't already.

The report does absolutely no good. I had built up over $100 on 10 different websites, then Adsense claimed I had invalid clicks (they couldn't tell me which site) and they took all the money. It is no wonder Google earns so much; they take it away from their advertisers.
this feature is great. I do not need the channels when using link units anymore because I add only one link unit per page. Nice feature. Thanks
i like this feather,easy than before
Thanks for categorizing this as it is much easier to track our earning now with link unit

A couple of days ago my reports showed 60 impressions, next day 57 and now it shows ony 16...How is that...what does that mean...(are they being stolen or something from my site?!!)I dont even know if my ads are showing or if i am making money or not...it does not give proper instructions
i don't even know if my account balance is building up or not!
It's probably too late for me to post this comment (I don't suppose anyone at Google is going to read it at this point...), but I'm doing it anyway. I tried to put Link Units on my site about Brazilian popular culture (www.maria-brazil.org), but had units for "Brazilian women," "Brazilian girls," etc. show up. Since I can't filter these ads that I find objectionable, I had to remove the Link Units from the site.
