How about that – I did get approved to AdSense. Now I have to figure out if I want to actually implement it.

Interesting question Phil. I think that could work if you offered two feeds – one with ads and one without. You’ve got to give your readers the ability to “opt-out” (or opt-in depending on your preferences) if they don’t want ads. What I do like about the idea is that the ads served up could then be tailored specifically to that particular article whereas the AdSense program is for an entire page (maybe even site, I’m not sure how deep it spiders). Infoworld includes ads occasionally in their feeds and it doesn’t seem to be a big deal.

How would you feel about a service that appends ads to your RSS feeds? Same general model as Google’s but part of your RSS instead of part of your html.
