This question crops up often:

---

Please correct the errors on this form.

Blogger is not allowed to request ad code for your AdSense account. You must fix this by signing in again and allowing Blogger to manage your account.

My recommendation is, forget about adding AdSense products direct via Blogger except if you want to add AdSense ads between posts (click BACK button to get back to this page). Reasons: You have much limited options like being unable to add AdSense custom channels and Adsense text or button referral links, or even Google site search box.

Use this method: Adding Adsense products to Blogger blogs. No time to check what is inside there, but perhaps you can get more information from Blogger Beta: Adding advertisement and hit counters, etc (click BACK button to get back to this page). Feedback highly welcomed as some may need updating.

Advantege of Google Adsense URL and Custom Channels

One disadvantage of adding Google AdSense directly from Blogger LAYOUT is that you cannot use custom channel to track the performance of your ad units. Fortunately, there is also URL channels which tracks the total earnings from a particular blog (URL). Now if you track the custom channels for AdSense units generated directly from Google AdSense, then by simple subtraction of the total earnings from custom channels from the total earnings for the blog (URL) you can get what is left, that is earnings from the AdSense units inserted directly from the Blogger LAYOUT placed after each each post. This was how I was able to get a Google AdSense channels report for this blog which is my main blog for bloggers.
