AdSense URL Channels

Can you use RegEx to set up URL channels in AdSense?

I'm trying to set up a URL channel in AdSense to track pages on my website with the below URL structure.

URL Structure:
[domain.com...]
[domain.com...]
[domain.com...]

The "cl-" is unique to all the URLs I want to track, so I tried using the below regular expression.

/[\d\s\w-]+/cl-

However, AdSense does not seem to allow RegEx for setting up URL channels. Does anyone know I could set up a channel to track these pages? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use custom channels, not url channels.

Channels enable you to view detailed reporting about the performance of specific pages and ad units.

We offer two types of channels that you can choose from: URL Channels and Custom Channels. Use URL Channels to track the performance of particular pages on your site. Custom channels allow you to track the performance of specific ad units based on your specified criteria.

Thanks for the replies... I want to set up a URL channel to track revenue generated on pages with "cl-" but as the "cl-" parameter is not directly next to the root domain, I'm not sure how to track only these pages. In Google Analytics I use the regular expression directly below, but I'm not sure how to do this with AdSense.

/[\d\s\w-]+/cl-

Is there a way for me to track AdSense revenue generated from pages that contain "cl-"?

No, there isn't. You'd have to set up a custom channel, then put ads with that channel name only on those pages that match your "cl" criteria.
