Why Use AdSense for Feeds?
As mentioned in the last post, feeds are a device used by blogs to tell frequent visitors when an update has been made. Feeds, as a whole, make the web browsing experience quicker and easier for all who have favorite blogs and is an excellent tool to use. You may be wondering, however, why we are talking about feeds on an AdSense blog. As it turns out, Google, with their all-powerful wisdom, has noticed the popularity of feed usage and given site owners the option to make money off of their feeds as well.
By playing an AdSense ad, or two, on a feed, a blog owner can often double or triple his or her revenue. This may seem like a bold statement to make, but think about the facts presented before. Many blog visitors choose to use feeds, a device which allows them to quickly navigate through updates, to view blogs. Many of these same web users never even bother checking out the actual blog site. Why go to the trouble of doing so if one can read new posts off of a feed?
Naturally, it becomes clear why AdSense for feeds is a good addition to any blog. Capturing the entire market, for lack of a better term, is a key business principle for one looking to maximize his or her profit. Unfortunately, Google’s AdSense for feeds program is in beta testing mode right now. A select few have been chosen to test out the new ad system and see if it is truly a beneficial and working one.
This, of course, also means that new applicants are not being accepted. All the information, though brief, can be found here from Google. It is likely that AdSense for feeds will become available for all to use in the future. But for now, just keep the concept fresh in your mind and we will explore it further if and when Google chooses to expand it’s use.
