Do you monetise your RSS feed?

    This is a question for those of you with real blogs, do you make any money from the RSS feed? Do feed readers ever click on ads? Is putting AdSense into the feed worthwhile, or is there something better?

    Id do it. I just started using feed burner though. Can you monetize feedburner feeds? also what adsense plugin do you use?

    I do, but try to keep it to a minimum. I feel that monetizing your email newsletters are a lot more effective than RSS, so that's the way for maximizing when it comes to subscribers.

    I wish to add adsense to my blogs. But every time i applied, i was either rejected or i waited too long with no response. I am hopeless about getting an adsense account approved..

    I have adsense on my feed, but I have not yet received a single click. Hopefully that will change soon.

    I've never gotten a click through an RSS feed in my life. It's a worse placement than on-site ads.

    yup, you can do it if you have hundred of readers, you can use adsense or bidvertiser. But normally it will get 1-10% CTR from your readers. So if you have loyal readers then why not try to monetize it
