As you know this blog is my experiment of making money on the internet.

I want to make use of every tools or features that will potentially increase revenue. FeedBurner is one of the tools I use. I originally just want to get more reader from FeedBurner. Later on Google bought FeedBurner and FeedBurner claim on its web site that now we can display adsense ad on our FeedBurner feed. See the following screen shot shows what it says on its web site.

That is a new avenue of earning revenue. Pretty exciting, isn’t it? So I linked my feedburner account to my adsense account. Everything was set up following instruction but I just can’t see any ad appear in my feed. I repeated the steps several times following the instunctions just to make sure I did everything they said. But no luck. Didn’t work. I spend three hours trying different things and doing research on how to make adsense work on feedburner feed. I also try the adsense-for-feed plugin I found on automattic.com. Still I couldn’t make it work. Later on I found on FeedBurner forum that actually they were still working on making adsense ad to show on feed and it was not ready. To me that was really sucks. They should have told user they were still working on it on the instruction page. That was in fact a very irresponsible statement and it waste a lot of people’s time.

By the way FeedBurner is also a company using open source tools instead of Microsoft. You may want to check my previous post about open source vs. Microsoft. FeedBurner was bought by Google for 100 million dollars. If you decide to have a technology career. Going for open source is definitely a better choice.
