Ever since Google bought FeedBurner I have been receiving many more ad requests. FeedBurner powers my RSS feed, the big orange icon that looks. In fact, if you are reading this blog and 14 other blogs and you are not using RSS, you should be shot (just kidding).
In any event, FeedBurner manages my RSS feeds. Part of that is that they manage the ads, the annoying ads, that you see in my feeds. Note, I don't put ads in my Cartoon Barry feeds, just my Search Engine Roundtable feeds. The ads look like these:
I get to approve all submissions. I select which ads to approve based on the dollar per CPM.
More about FeedBurner ads at http://www.feedburner.com/fb/a/advertising.
You can see how they look in your feeds over here.
Anyway...
Ever since Google bought FeedBurner, there seems to have been a surge in the number of advertisers on the system. This is not surprising. Google can make any company extremely popular overnight.
Also, FeedBurner's ad stats are pretty damn cool.
Comments
I've been getting a lot ad requests as well. Is there a way to automatically approve the ads? Seems like if this keeps up, it can get annoying to have to go back into the admin panel to approve each ad.
Also, since Google bought FeedBurner, I've seen a bump in referrals from Google Reader. Could be just a coincidence.
