Simple Way to Add AdSense for Feeds to Your FeedBurner Feed

If you’re like me, you probably have FeedBurner feed all set up for your blog, but want to add AdSense for Feeds for some extra revenue.  And if you have done some research, you probably heard nightmare stories from people who switched entirely from FeedBurner feed to Google feed.  Lucky for you, I have a simple solution!

Set Up Your AdSense for Feed

First, log into your AdSense account and set up AdSense for Feed:

• Click on AdSense Setup
• Click on AdSense for Feeds
• This takes you to the main set up screen.
• Click on burn a new feed (look toward the bottom)
  

You’ll get a pop-up box.

• Enter your non-FeedBurner feed address — i.e., http://www.blogthority.com/feed

• Click on Next and you’ll see this pop-up box

• Click on Next again
• Click on Close

Now you are back on the main set up screen again.

• Click on Create new channel
• Enter a name — i.e., Blogthority.  You can make your feed targetable if you want.
• Click on Add
• Set up your ad placement and configuration

• Click on Save

You are done on AdSense side.
