Earning with Feed Ads

AdSense for Feeds doesn’t currently have a designation on the AdSense Web
site. In fact, if you’re not specifically searching for the topic, you won’t ever
find it. And it’s not just the information that’s hard to locate. Anything related
to your earnings or the performance of the ads is also non-existent.
At least for now, feed ads are tracked through AdSense for Content. I assume
that will change when the program is finally released for general consumption.
At that time, it’s most likely that — like other AdSense programs — feed
ads will have their own sections.
Until then, assigning a channel that’s specific to your feed ads is the best way
to track them. Since the numbers for your ads will be lumped in with AdSense
for Content data, without a designated channel you’ll never know what’s
coming from your Web site or blog and what’s coming from your feed.
When it comes to actually generating revenue from feed ads, the process
works just the same as with other ads — users must click through an ad for
you to be paid for it.
At this time, there’s no information available about whether feed ads will
have the case-by-case instances of pay-per-thousand-impressions. That’s
something that surely will be made public when the program goes live.
There’s also no information about what the revenue share — how much you’ll
make when a reader clicks through your ads — will look like with feed ads.
It’s safe to assume, however, that it will take the same general (and vague)
structure that content ads take.
AdSense for Feeds is such a great idea. There are so many instances of
dynamic, feed-enabled content on the Web today that it only makes sense to
monetize that content. How long it will take for the program to make the final
cut and be released to the general public is anyone’s guess, though. In the
meantime, keep working with your other AdSense ads — and be sure to sign
