Google Launches Long Awaited AdSense For Feeds
August 15, 2008This morning when I logged into my AdSense account, I instantly noticed a new product category just below the referrals earning report, called AdSense For Feeds.
With AdSense for feeds you can run AdSense in your feeds just like you do on your blog/website, with almost as much control over the appearance and position of ads as you are used to having in AdSense for content.
But to use AdSense for feeds, you need to migrate you Feedburner account to your Google account, which is currently a manual process. That is, you have to email Google at adsense-support-aff@google.com and provide following info with the request to migrate your account:
- Your FeedBurner account username
- The Google Account email address you use to sign in to AdSense
Head over to Google help center for more info.
I can see those huge blogs with many thousands of subscribers making even more money with AdSense for feeds.
And hey, I’ve never placed AdSense on Blogging Bits, but I’m considering giving AdSense for feeds a try as it seems less annoying compared to on-site ads. What do you think?

I’ve also noticed this in my AdSense account. However, I’m not too sure that I want to add ads to my feeds, because feeds are read by the same people, which happen to be my loyal readers, so I assume I’d bother them. Another reason for not trying this, is that you have to migrate the full feedburner account to Google accounts, and I don’t want that.
However, if you test it, I’d be curious of some conclusions.
Simmone, Feedburner is also owned by Google so you shouldn’t be too worried about account migration.
Well I wouldn’t have thought that Google would introduce a new system that requires a manual process. Can you imagine the number of bloggers emailing them with their details to get it all manually updated. With Google’s income you would think that they could figure out how to do it all automatically.
It looks like Google aren’t allowing you to set up adsense feeds at the moment, looks like they have been overwhelmed.
Will try again some other time.

Well i got my feeds migrated from feedburner feeds to google account but i dont like the fact that url has been changed to feedcache.google.com/mysite
I never had any success with adsense…
The one person I know that has used it so far has said it to be “cloogy” at best. I like the idea, but might have to wait till it comes out of the standard “Google BETA” before hammering it up…
google is launching new services every now and then….
but this service aint much …. mmm…. cool…
great info, nice reading. thanks
