Feedburner Announces AdSense Integration

A recent post on Feedburner’s blog announced the long-awaited AdSense integration that was sure to have been forthcoming since the Google acquisition of the FeedBurner service. The new capability puts AdSense ads on your blog or website, but not (yet) in your feed. If you want to activate the service, you first must sign up with AdSense, then sign into your FeedBurner account, click the “Monetize” tab, and connect your account to your AdSense account. You can then run a 300×250 or 468×60 text or image AdSense ad on your blog. The ad appears below the first item on your site and archive pages. You can customize the colors or use a saved color palette you already set up at AdSense so the ad fits into your site’s look and feel. FeedBurner users who are already a member of the FeedBurner Ad Network can choose to run the AdSense ads when there are no FeedBurner Ad Network ads to run.

Let’s see how it does…

On a side note, FeedBurner has inexplicably stopped showing me the number of subscribers subscribed in Google Reader, which was a least a couple of hundred people. Their stats are *broken.* I need feed stats tracking alternatives! (Update: This is a confirmed glitch!)
