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.

Since many DNS site starting to charge a fee for the DNS tools service. I recommend a free DNS Tools site will always be free.
The Domain Name System (DNS) associates various information with domain names; most importantly, it serves as the "phone book" for the Internet by translating human-readable computer hostnames, e.g. www.example.com, into IP addresses, e.g. 208.77.188.166, which networking equipment needs to deliver information. A DNS also stores other information such as the list of mail servers that accept email for a given domain. By providing a worldwide keyword-based redirection service, the Domain Name System is an essential component of contemporary Internet use. (Source: Wikipedia)
The list of tools offer for free are:
- DNS Lookup
- Reverse DNS
- Whois
- Test Email Servers
- Anti-Spam Blacklist
- Send Email as someone else
- Portscan
- Ping
- Trace Route
- Random Password
- Get a Web Server Type
- Open Relay Test
Most of the tools are using for Server Side Analyse and Tracking. It very useful for System Engineer and Web Master to monitor the server and web site.
