Google Adsense For Feeds Set Up and Tips

   Google Adsense for Feeds
If you have a RSS feed for your blog or website, you can monetize it with adsense for feeds. Any webmaster that has a feedburner feed can easily monetize it with adsense units. Google provides step by step instructions on how to install the ads on your feeds just like you do with adsense for content for content pages.
If you already have a google account you can log into feed burner through google. Go to feedburner.google.com, there you can log in directly to feed burner without having to register. Since you already have a google account as soon as you log in your immediately registered using info from your google account. This is because google owns feed burner.
Another thing to note is you must have a feedburner feed to use adsense for feeds. It is not compatible with other RSS feed types.

This is a great way to earn more with your website and is neat considering it is the only current way and the first way of monetizing a RSS feed. If you have a large number of subscribers you might be able to substantially boosts your adsense income within minutes. On the other hand it can be detrimental to your long term success with RSS.
This is not for everyone. Adsense for feeds provides some benefits as well as some drawbacks. When deciding whether or not it is worth it for your site you will need to weigh out the good with the bad. Every site is different and has a different RSS feed with a different amount of subscribers with different interest. So, it all really depends on the situation.
Pros
Only Way To Monetize A RSS Feed
Increased Total Revenue
Easy To Implement
Can Be Customized To Match Site
Great for Often Updated Sites
Adds Additional Income Stream
The biggest benefit to using it is that you potentially add another big income source depending on your niche and the number of RSS subscribers. If you have a lot of RSS subscribers you may be making a mistake by not using adsense for feeds. The only downfall is it may cause some people to unsubscriber. However, if someone follows your site regularly this is unlikely to cause them to unsubscribe.
Only Option To Monetize
Also, it is the only way as of right now that you can make any type of money with an RSS feed. Google acquired feedburner for just this reason. If you have a lot of subscriber you could be missing out on a lot of supplemental income. Since this is the only way to monetize that traffic your decision to monetize your RSS feed should not be too difficult after looking at the upside versus downside.
Easy Implementation and Customization
A benefit that I like in adsense for feeds is how easy it is to set implement the ads on the feed. After you burn your feed all you have to do is click on the monetize tab. From there you select how you would like your ads to look at how many ads per feed item. You have to option to match them to your site color scheme. This should only take a about 10 minutes to finish the whole thing.
Great for Highly Updated Sites
Perhaps the people who should look at this the most as an additional income stream is people who update their site or blog often. This is perfect for bloggers who build new pages and posts regularly. Many blogs make one new post per day. When you update that often more people are likely to subscribe to follow your site. When you are sending more pages out through RSS you are going to have a lot more feed ad impressions. Therefore, you will make more money.
Cons
Only for Feedburner Feeds
Can Decrease Subscribers
Appears Spam-Like
Only Compatitible with Feedburner
The biggest downfall to adsense for feeds is that is only available for users using a feedburner RSS feed. There are several other RSS syndicators out there but feedburner is by far the most popular. If you are using a different syndicator you may want to switch soon. Google is a top notch company is only going to improve feeds offered by feed burner.
May Decrease Subscribers
This may cause some of your subscribers to unsubscriber from your feed. The internet has never been filled with more spam and will only get worse. As a result, visitors have become increasingly annoyed with spam and attempts to make money off of them. This may cause some subscribers to get annoyed and unsubscribe. This will be different with every website or blog.
