I noticed my url channel and custome channel data do not match.

I have one url and 5 custom channels associated with this url i have not used these custom channels in any other site's.

My url and custom data do not add up i.e my url impressions and earnings is not equal to my custom data total.

My url impressions and earning are lesser then my custom impressions.

If you use more than one custom channel at a time, the total custom channel amounts will be higher than your url channel.
OR
If people can reach your page through other urls, your custom channels will be higher.

Example:
You have a url channel on www.example.com/SnazzyPage.html

You have custom channel SnazPage1 in the ad.

Someone visits
example.com/SnazzyPage.html
or
123.45.67.89/SnazzyPage.html
or
ww2.example.com/SnazzyPage.html
or
123.45.67.255/GoogleCache?cache=SnazzyPage.html

and he or she clicks an ad, your custom channel SnazPage1 will register the impression and click, but your url channel will not.

Check your logs! :)

Good Luck

1) I use only one custom channel for each unit.

2) i have added example.com as my url channel and not www.example.com I thought example.com is supposed to capture all the data.

I don't think to, but there's a simple way to check that: Add the other one too! :D
