AdSense In RSS Feeds

AdSense In RSS Feeds

One of the biggest changes to take place on the Internet recently has been
the growth of RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds. These let subscribers
see when a site has been updated and sends them information instead of
waiting for them to come to the site to see it for themselves.

The good news is that Google is starting to put AdSense ads in RSS feeds.

The system is new and Google is still testing it as I’m writing this book but if
you’ve got an RSS feed on your site (or want to set one up) and you’ve got
more than a hundred subscribers, your site can join their team of Beta
testers.

There seems to be little room for tweaking the ads, although it’s a safe bet
that the same principle of blending the ads into the page would apply as
much here as on a Web page. At the moment though, the ads only appear
after the content, at the bottom of the URL. You can apply for the program at

Alternatively, if you don’t want to be a Google guinea pig, Kanoodle is ahead
of them. You can use their program at
