It’s been a few months since they first announced it, but AdSense for Feeds is now available to all AdSense/FeedBurner users.

You should notice a new entry on your main AdSense page for “AdSense for Feeds”.  To get started, you need to ask Google to manually tie your AdSense and FeedBurner accounts together.  To do that, send an e-mail to adsense-support-aff@google.com and give them your Feedburner account name and the Google Account e-mail address that you use to sign into AdSense.  I was bummed when I heard that it was a manual process, but they turned mine around in about 45 minutes.  I’ve just added the ads to a few feeds of mine, so we’ll see how it goes.

The Google Operating System blog has more details (and screenshots) on how to get started.

I’ll post back with my results in a few days.

I’ve been waiting for this for a while, but FeedBurner publishers will soon be able to insert AdSense ads in their feeds.  I’d love to insert some insightful commentary here, but there’s not much else to say.  If you don’t know what AdSense or FeedBurner are, then I don’t know why you’re on an SEO blog.

It’ll be interesting to see how well it works.  I have a couple of very large feeds (not this site - ha!), so I’m anxious to give it a shot.  They’ll be rolling it out to a small group of publishers next week, and the rest of us “soon”.  Once I’m able to try it, I’ll be sure to post my findings.

As reported by Darren Rowse, it appears that AdSense ads will be finding their way into Feedburner feeds pretty soon.

There is a feed (Inhabitat) that is showing some ads. They’re being served as image maps, as opposed to JavaScript, which hopefully will help them work with a wider variety of feed readers. I’ve not had much luck with Feedburner FAN (feed advertising network), and not many people had much luck with the older “AdSense for RSS” system either. Hopefully this new format will perform well.
