Google AdSense Integration in Google Analytics 4

Google AdSense is a program that allows publishers to earn money by displaying ads on their websites or apps. Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is the latest version of Google Analytics, and it offers a number of new features and capabilities, including the ability to integrate with AdSense.

When you link your AdSense account to a GA4 property, your AdSense data from that account becomes available in GA4 reports and explorations. This data includes information about ad impressions, clicks, and earnings. By combining AdSense data with other website metrics, such as traffic sources and user behavior, you can gain deeper insights into the performance of your ads and identify patterns that can help you to optimize your ad revenue.

How Google AdSense/GA4 Reporting Integration Works

The Google AdSense/GA4 reporting integration works by collecting the following events automatically:

ad_impression: This event is triggered when an ad is displayed on a page.
ad_click: This event is triggered when an ad is clicked on.
ad_query: This event is triggered when an ad request is made.

GA4 uses these events to create a number of reports that provide insights into the performance of your ads, such as:

Ad impressions: This report shows you the number of times your ads have been displayed.
Ad clicks: This report shows you the number of times your ads have been clicked on.
Ad earnings: This report shows you how much money you have earned from your ads.
Ad engagement: This report shows you how users interact with your ads, such as how long they spend looking at them or how many times they click on them.
