AdSense for Feeds

In May 2005, Google announced a limited-participation beta version

of AdSense for Feeds, a version of AdSense that runs on RSS and Atom

 feeds that have more than 100 active subscribers. According to the

 Official Google Blog, "advertisers have their ads placed in the most

appropriate feed articles; publishers are paid for their original content;

 readers see relevant advertising—and in the long run, more quality

 feeds to choose from."

AdSense for Feeds works by inserting images into a feed.

 When the image is displayed by a RSS reader or Web browser,

 Google writes the advertising content into the image that it returns.

The advertisement content is chosen based on the content of the feed

surrounding the image. When the user clicks the image, he or she is

 redirected to the advertiser's website in the same way as regular AdSense advertisements.

AdSense for Feeds remained in its beta state until August 15, 2008, when it became available to all

AdSense users.
