New FeedBurner Ads Open Doors, But Problems Remain »
Much of the world seemed to be really interested in the fact that FeedBurner recently announced that you were now able to flip a switch and see ads from Google AdSense in your site's feeds. If you've been waiting patiently to be allowed into the FeedBurner Ad Network, only to find that you still hadn't made it - or like me, you've seen the option to get in, only to have it not work and the door closed again - then it seems like a nice alternative. At least you can put some ads into your feed in the meantime.
The first step is to link the two accounts. Luckily, this isn't hard - you just need to tell FeedBurner your AdSense account information - email and either zip code or part of your phone number. Then you'll receive an email from Google asking permission to allow FeedBurner into the account. Of course, FeedBurner is Google, so this is a bit odd, but it's really not bad, and once it's done, you can turn on the ads, which is when the fun begins.
