AdSense Integrated with FeedBurner Site Ads
There's really nothing spookier than hollow, empty ad spaces rattling around your blog and/or web site, putting no cash in your pocket nor any extra hob- in your goblin. Before you banish these underperforming idlers to some distant house upon a lonely hill, we recommend redeeming them with a chance to boost your earning potential. This Halloween, the FeedBurner development team is asking those of us who do the announcing around here to make note of the now-available integration of FeedBurner site ads and AdSense.
This newly integrated capability — designed just for FeedBurner-powered content like yours — puts relevant AdSense content ads to work on your blog and/or website. (Note: AdSense options for feeds not available at this time.) If you choose to activate this service, you can run a 300x250 or 468x60 text or image AdSense ad on your blog. The ad will appear below the first item on your site and archive pages once you have installed the necessary code. Ad content is automatically targeted to complement your site and you will earn revenue each time visitors click on ads. You can even customize the colors (or use a saved color palette from your AdSense account) so the ad unit fits your site's look and feel. Check out these 300x250 examples below.
You don't have to be part of FeedBurner's ad network to put these ads on your site, but be sure to review Google's policies for participating to make sure your site's content is eligible, as these ads are subject to AdSense terms and conditions. Once you're signed up for AdSense, you can check out all the other ways you can monetize your site with ads near your non-feed-powered content. If you are currently part of the FeedBurner Ad Network (FAN), and you've configured your site to run ads, AdSense ads will be inserted on your web site only when there are no FeedBurner Ad Network ads available for those placements (if you choose).
Get Started
To activate the service, sign in to your FeedBurner account, select your feed and go to the Monetize tab where you can connect this service to your AdSense account (if you already have one), or create a new AdSense account (if you don't). This service is currently available to members of FAN and all manner of FeedBurner publishers who go >bump< in the night, but haven't yet joined FAN. (Note: If you have enabled FeedFlare for your site, you've already added the magic code that makes these ads go where they need to go, so connect your account to AdSense on the Monetize tab and you're ready to earn!)
Earning additional revenue doesn't scare me, I t-tell you what. Where can I learn more?
Additional FAQs have been asked and answered over by here.
Happy HallowEARN feed publishers!
Comments
This seems a little buggy because it seems I cannot change the style of the ad, even the size? It won't update, and now it says that the service is unavailable. You guys clogging up? :)
I activeted it, it says:
"This service is active"
but also:
"This service is not currently available."

@Simone - Whoops! We will be fixing that confusing copy error shortly. Thanks for the heads up.
If I already have 3 Adsense units on a page will adding this violate the Adsense TOS? Or will this not count as one?
This is nice! I have one question, I cannot get the Channels to work. It shows (no Adsense channel) even though I have a few, and I created one specifically for this purpose.
I am guessing the AdSense ad limits still apply. If I interpret this correctly, the Feedburner-Feedflare-AdSense ad will be exactly one per page (home page or archive blog pages).
Blogger blogs have a similar function and the three Adsense for Content ad limit still applies. Three per page regardless of the source or the generator. What gives me more flexibility with Feedburner is that it only uses up one of the three spots, while the Blogger option uses up all three (assuming you have multiple posts on your home page)
The ads are running on my blog in their own channel. One question/suggestion: The spacing above the ads (or lack thereof) scrunches them up too close to the feedflare links.
m bit confused... will these ads be show on website or on feeds... seems like website
Is there any way to show ads on feeds because fan network.. does adsense come into picture there?
Any way that i can make more money, i am willing to give it a shot and see how it works for me.
I've try this option for few days but finally have to turn it off. because it is lack of flexibility in modifying the ad appearance.
This feature is very useful indeed. looking forward for the improvement & i might decide to use it next time.
This move should have been taken a long time before........
Does this work on blogger? I'm sure they block scripts on posts and I'm getting nothing on my page. I've linked to it.
These are great and a good plug for a hole. IF you want to take it to the next level:
1. like a trillion other people, I'd like to put my Google ads in my Feed as well. Make it happen!
2. I know they aren't a partner, but it would also rock to be able to put Amazon ads in there as well.
Cheers,
Seth
I don't know so much yet on feedburner and goolge adwords.Please I will so much appreciateit if you can favourably put me through.
I would like to know how to customize my website with google adsense
I would like to join Ads put on my blog and my
website, but NOT ANY AD, would like items like
cameras and camcorders that have relation to the
books I write --with film scripts for the beginners.
thank you
The advertisements should be placed in between RSS items (blog posts) in order to really function properly. Huge 300x250 blocks, are highly intrusive and annoying.
I tried this and was unable to get any ads tro display in the feed. If this os for website use only then why bother you can gust get the code from google?
I like it
