How to Add AdSense for Feeds

How to Add AdSense for Feeds to Your Blog – Getting Started

When people read your blog through a feed reader, like Google Reader, they may not be clicking to your site, and you may be losing page views that could be paying you money through your AdSense account.

By using AdSense for Feeds, you can still make money from your blog content, even when visitors don’t view your site directly. AdSense for Feeds replaces FeedBurner Ad Network.

If you have not already done so, register for an AdSense account. Once you’ve logged into your AdSense account, go to AdSense Setup and click on AdSense for Feeds.

Feed Settings

Once you open the AdSense for Feeds window, you’ll be offered a lot of choices on how to set up your feed. You can change these settings later.

You can choose how often ads appear in your feeds – with every post or less frequently. Ads can appear at the top or bottom of posts, and you can change the color scheme.

You can also choose the length of posts that receive feeds. This is particularly useful if you tend to have the occasional one or two line quick update. You can save your readers annoyance by skipping the ads in those posts.

At the bottom of the screen you can see a list of feeds available. If you are new to AdSense for Feeds, there will be no feeds listed here.

If your feed is not listed, and you’re not using FeedBurner Ad Network, click on the burn a new feed link at the bottom of the screen.

If you were using FeedBurner Ad Network, your feeds may not have been migrated to AdSense for Feeds. As of this writing, manual account migration has been disabled, so you’ll have to wait until that’s reinstated or all accounts are automatically migrated.

Burn a New Feed

Click on the burn a new feed link. This opens up a box to enter the URL of your feed. Enter the Web address for your blog, and click the Next button.

Google will show you the available feeds for that address. If you’re given the choice between an RSS and an Atom feed, Google recommends you choose the Atom feed. Click the Next button to proceed.

Your New Feed Address

Next Google will show you your new feed address. The address will be something like “http://feedproxy.google.com/Name_of_Your_Feed_Here.” The default name for this feed is usually just fine, but you can change the name right now if it isn’t. You can’t easily change this later, so make sure you like what you have.

Write down your feed’s new address. You will need this later.

You should also double check your feed’s title. This will help you keep track of your feed’s statistics in AdSense and FeedBurner, and it could be used by advertisers for targeted ads, so make sure it has a logical and descriptive name.

Leave the defaults checked under the section Statistics. This will help you track your feed’s performance.

Redirect Your Feed Traffic

You are almost done.

The final step is to redirect your Blog readers to your new feed address. Use the http://feedproxy.google.com/Name_of_Your_Feed_Here address from the previous step. If you have lost this address, you can retrieve it by logging into FeedBurner using the same email address you use for your AdSense account.

Most blog software has a setting that allows you to automatically redirect your feed. In Blogger you change this by going to Settings: and then Site Feed. Paste or type your new feed URL into the blank next to Post Feed Redirect URL.

That’s it. Anyone subscribing to your feed on Blogger will now be redirected to the new feed, and the feeds will now have ads according to your settings.
