Adsense in your feeds

Author: Tim Nash

Well when Google took over Feedburner we expected them to start integrating Adsense pretty quickly and so guess what happened we were right.
Feedflare and Adsense
What’s more its not just being restricted to existing Feedburner users with advertising but everyone even me as seen above, so will I be enabling it?

urgh no

Feed readers are your loyal readers they regularly visit your site at least in theory so should I attempt to monetize them? Its an interesting question but actually irrelevant to my reason for not activating Adsense, my reason is simple if Adsense doesn’t work on most blogs why would it work on a blogs feed?

So cheers Google I know many people will want this but its not for me, but it is nice to see Feedburner development continuing and I’m hoping for big and better things.

    hehe,

    I think the feature is worthless, I tried it for a few days and never saw any ad :(

    I think most of the feed reader doesn’t parse javascript code (even the google feed reader)
