ENDEX
Ok I knew it wouldn't last, my Google AdSense account has been revoked. I was experimenting with ads in rss feeds. I have some scraped feeds that are hit a couple of thousand times a day, and I decide to 'hack' adsense ads in them. Mind you, I wasn't generating fake adsense clicks, I just put the ads in the feed. The clicks generated from the feeds where real clicks. People clicked on the links they saw in their feed readers or on web pages that parse my scraped feeds. I know this is not the way Google wants you to use their system, but hey I was curious to see if anyone was going to complain about the ads and if they were going to click on them. Well they didn't complain (at least not to me) and they did click. As matter of fact, if you own a blog / feed that is read by a lot of people you can make a nice income. I think Google should take a look at their policy for not allowing adsense ads to be put in rss feeds, they should have a look at what Yahoo is planning to do. At the Web 2.0 conference Yahoo chief operating officer Dan Rosensweig said the company plans to offer advertising for the RSS. I personally feel Google should consider this as well. Hopefully by then they will allow me to start generating revenue for their customers again.
They could even add audio ads, to target all the PodCast Listeners out there.
Well it was fun while it lasted.
