Insert Google Adsense into RSS Feed?

Google acquired FeedBurner. Google Adsense publishers can insert the Ads in to FeedBurner Feeds.

This is a good news for Adsense publishers after Google announced that Adsense Referrals will no longer available at the end of this month.

You can create a block of ad unit, you can customize the size, color, frequency and position. Currently Google do not provide auto migration for the feed from FeedBurner to Google. Is manually now.

If you are new user, meant do not have existing feed in FeedBurner, you can burn a new feed directly in Adsense account. Just key in you feed URL, Google will burn a new feed for you.

Some of the issues for Feed in Adsense:

• Adsense for Fee is using html code instead of javascript
• Only 2 sizes available, 468X60 and 300X250
• No Auto Feed Migration
• Some bloggers reported Adsense for Feed only display in Google Reader, sometimes fail to display in other RSS readers

After Googlel announced to shutdown the Ad Referrals end of August, this is a great new for us. I hope Google Adsense will bring more ways to display ad. I stongly suggest to provide a adsense for self host email like the ad in Gmail.
