When Google acquires Feedburner, the first good news they brought was turning Feedburner Pro free but the other good news bloggers all been waiting for - Google AdSense in feeds was nowhere near. There are rumors about webmasters getting invitation to test AdSense in RSS feeds, but we weren’t sure if those were real. Official Feedburner blog wrote an entry recently and it is kinda hinting that Google AdSense in feeds will be likely to happen soon.
One of the paragraph wrote something like this:
Following on the footsteps of this account migration, FeedBurner will start to look and feel more like a set of Google services, and we will be completing much tighter integration into other Google services such as Google AdSense. (If you are a feed advertiser, don’t worry: we have some happy surprises coming for you as well, and if you are an advertiser who is not yet a feed advertiser, you too shall be blessed with good fortune.)
If this happens, it’s certainly another source of income, particularly for blogs with large feed readership. However I doubt it’ll be a good conversion rate. I mean, if regular readers don’t click on the AdSense on your blog, what makes a feed reader will? IMHO, CPM ads will be far more interesting :-)

I think google adsense could atleast convert better then feedburner ads. Also bloggers could get a combination of CPC and CPM with adsense instead of just CPM ads.

I think this will be good news.
ReplyIts better than those annoying ads.
hongkiat May 2nd, 2008
@Abhijeet I agreed. The earnings of current feedburner ads is seriously low.
@Web Content Writer Which kinda annoying ads are you seeing inside feeds?
ReplyGreentac May 2nd, 2008
This can a good news because it can be considered a new ads format will be introduced. It might help us to earn more revenue from google adsense.

Good news for bloggers that offer full, uncompromising text feeds.
ReplyFelex Tan May 3rd, 2008
Absolutely a good news for every RSS user.Additional income.
Replyhongkiat May 4th, 2008
@Felex Additional income that’s for sure, but doubt it’s going to be anywhere near as good as AdSense on webpage.

I read somewhere that only publishers with 500 or most rss subscribers will be eligible for the RSS based ads.
Not sure if this is true
