Does this mean that if I’m reading my feeds in a reader like Yahoo or NewsGator that I’ll be subjected to seeing Adsense ads splattered all over the feed?

I know that if this is the truth, I will be unsubscribing to a lot of feeds.

Myo, Have you been able to get it to work for you yet ? I’m still trying to get it to work without an error.

@Garret - That’s a good point but I’m sure if some aggregate feed reader doesn’t want the Adsense ads to show in the feeds, all they have to do is a simple PHP regular expression preg_replace() to get rid of the ads.

I’m still thinking about this. I know there are readers who are a bit fed up with the ads on my site. So if I send them ads too, I have a feeling some will resent it. :( money over readership?

@ruby - I have to agree with you on the fact that sacrificing readership for a few Adsense pennies can be far more detrimental than helpful. Google has already been trying to find a way tomonetize every facet of the web from parked domains to error pages and after a certain point, enough is enough.

I feel there is going to be an anti-advertising backlash by internet users once the Web2.0 bubble bursts and all the newbies who joined the internet since 2000 get smarter about the sites they visit.
