I faced this difficulty. I could not track my Adsense reports for my blogger.com blog. After a long search I found the answer. You need to use URL Channels for tracking the performance of your Adsense Ads in your blog. Though this is bit crude idea as you do not really know statistics on Ads based on its placement still you can differentiate between the performance of your different blogs.
The solution is simple.
Login to your Adsense account, and find Channel Manager. You can create a new URL Channel there. The url channel should be in the form: yourblogname.blgospot.com.
There are few examples which clearly displays different forms of urls to track more detailed performance.
For obvious reason, URL channel is equally helpful to gather aggregated statistics on different other domains. But as blogger.com does not look like allow you to add a custom channel, so, it looks like the only legit solution.
If there is any different/better idea, please share it here.
Hope this helps someone.
