Testing AdSense
January 21, 2008
I’m testing Google AdSense on ReadBurner.
Since I’m building this service on top of a Google product it just seems obvious also to use Google’s core revenue product – Google AdSense. And if ReadBurner continues to grow I need to find a way to pay my server bills anyway.
I’m interested in the ad relevance, since there’s a lot of content to potentially analyze on ReadBurner.
I hope the ads are not too disturbing for you…

Good idea
Hope the monetisation works well for you, although techy based visitors are known for not clicking many adverts.

No worries, I hope it turns out okay for you Alex. If you can find a way to do it, you might also try Google AdSense for search – you can setup to offer web search -OR- search your site.
Use case? Visitors to your site are curious people. They might want to check all entries by certain people. Also, it’s nice to search on topics:

That sounds very practicable. Is on my to-do list
