Adsense for Feeds is Now Live!
Today aftenoon, when I logged into my Google Adsense account, I was surprised to see that “Adsense for feeds” was appearing under reports tab. The long awaited Adsense for Feeds have now been made available to all bloggers. Following image illustrates my point (click to enlarge):
The moment you click on the Adsense for Feeds button, you will directed to a screen where you can select the way you want to show your ad on the feed, several options are provided – see screenshot (click to enlarge)
But there is a problem with this. They will ask you on which feed you want to display the ad, instead of feedburner, they are referring to feedburner.google.com.
Following message can be seen at the bottom of the page:
You have no feeds in your account yet. Already have an account with feedburner.com? Need help migrating your feeds to Google? View our account migration guide and get those feeds over here!
You can also burn a new feed right now to display this ad unit.
Nobody wants to burn a new feed! Therefore, I went to account migration guide link, which says:
Google will soon provide a self-service process to migrate from an account on the original FeedBurner website to a Google Account. Currently, migrating your feeds from from FeedBurner to a Google account is a manual process. We will assist you directly to ensure a successful migration. The only way you can use AdSense for feeds is through your Google Account.
To migrate all of your feeds, and your account from feeds.feedburner.com to Google, please contact us at adsense-support-aff@google.com and provide the following information:
- Your FeedBurner account username
- The Google Account email address you use to sign in to AdSense
We will migrate your account and contact you with specific steps for you to follow once migration is complete.
This not only made me a little disappointed but frustrated as well. Why should I switch to another feed? Why didn’t Google do it, in the first place? I am also hesitant to transfer my feeds at the moment, before anyone successfully transfers it. Do let me know if it works for you.
