Google will be launching adsense ads for feeds next week.  This will be great since I have been using Yahoo publisher as Google Adsense doesn’t currently support feedvertising.

If you have a lot of subscribers, you might be able to make some more money with the new feeds addition.  But for most of you, it might not make a difference if you are not making money with Adsense anyways…

This is huge news for content publishers. As we know first-hand, monetization on RSS feeds to-date has been mediocre at best compared to Web-based advertising, and with an increasing amount of reading and conversation taking place off-site, that’s a brewing problem in the world of content publishing. It also means that the few remaining hold outs who only publish partial feeds (I’m looking at you CNET and The New York Times) may finally offer full feeds, since they can now be effectively monetized. On the other hand, for RSS consumers, it probably means the free ride is over.
