Beginning next week, and starting with a small group of publishers, Feedburner (if you aren’t already sending your RSS through them, do so now) will begin to roll out Adsense for RSS feeds, as they announced on their blog. So this means that in addition to reading a nice, clean and convenient RSS feed from one of your favorite blogs, you’ll be reading a nice, clean and convenient RSS feed, plus some contextual advertising thanks to Google. This means that the ads you see will be semi-relevant to the content you’re reading.

This should be good news for publishers and bloggers looking to make an extra few pennies out of their readers, but bad news for readers who chose RSS to escape the annoying ads and bandwidth-heavy content. So far, attempts at monetizing RSS feeds have been poor at best, but now with google owning Feedburner, as well as one of the biggest RSS readers (google reader) and having a huge advertiser base (adsense, adwords), the tides could be turning.

If you operate a blog and haven’t signed up to feedburner already, we advise you do so now, and in a few weeks you could be earning some extra pennies from feed-based adsense.

This might be extremely obvious to most, but for those who it isn’t like a bad record on repeat, here it is: google adsense and how to use it.

You’ve probably just set up your blog or website, posted a bit of content, and you’re wondering how can i make some money out of this? Well that question would take an age to answer, but here is the quick answer: get Adsense.


For those who don’t know what it is, Adsense is an advertising network run by google, whereby a website owner signs up and places google’s ad-code on their site. Once the code is in place, and someone looks at your website/blog, google will display some advertisements on your site that are meant to be relevant to your site. For example, if you’ve just set up a blog all about shoes, shoe styles and shoe reviews, then google might render some advertisements for online shoe shops. This way your visitors will see ads that are related to what they’re looking for, and they are therefor more likely to click on them.

Now here comes the fun part. For each time a user clicks one of the ads on your site, you get money! Yeah, it’s that easy. It involves hardly any energy on your behalf and you could be raking in the cash. It’s good to keep in mind, though that you are not allowed to click on your own links. This is known as click fraud and is a breach of google’s terms and conditions so do not try it. Now, how do you get started? Continue reading ‘Online Money-Making 101: Adsense’
