I've written an article at my site regarding the tracking of Google AdSense ad clicks and analyzing the data to maximize on your earnings... It might be worth a read. Here's an excerpt from the post.

First of all, sorry for reviving a thread that's close to two years old, but I thought it better to comment on an existing thread than to create a new one with a very similar topic.

I used to use one of those scripts to track my AdSense Clicks, but I always had my doubts about both its effectiveness and stability. After all, no one (other than some Google employees) really knows how Google AdSense's implementation code and inner mechanism works.

However, there is some great news for Google AdSense publishers who happen to be as anal-retentive as I am (ahem!). Google Analytics has been recently rolling out a new update to its system that allows it to track your Google AdSense clicks, providing you with the same detailed analysis and reporting capabilities of the Google Analytics package. This update is still in the BETA phase, but it's being rolled out gradually to all Google Analytics users.

The excellent news about this is that, not only do you get the plethora of data and information that Google Analytics provides, but the quality of AdSense Clicks data that you get is virtually assured -- after all, it's provided by the same people who made it in the first place! Plus, if you already have Google Analytics tracking code installed on your website, you're already set. All you'll need to do is authorize the integration between the two systems (which, not surprisingly, takes nothing more than a couple of clicks.)

One of Google's official announcements of this feature can be found on the Inside AdSense blog, in a post titled Making a date with data in Google Analytics. Here is the link...
