Spotted these Google AdSense ads in a RSS feed that is syndicated through FeedBurner.
These Google ads are also contextual and appear after every article in the feed. Unlike the regular AdSense ads that are rendered via JavaScript, these feed ads are served as image maps in 468×30 format.
You can find some additional screenshots below. May be these ads are part of the AdSense for feeds program that is under beta testing with select AdSense publishers or they could be related to the upcoming AdSense for FeedBurner Feeds program.
To view these AdSense feed ads, go through Bloglines or just open this FeedBurner link in IE browser. And here’s the sample AdSense code that is integrated in the Feed XML to generate these Google ads:
<map name="google_ad_map_abc"><area shape="rect" href="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/imgclick/abc?pos=0" coords="1,2,367,28"/><area shape="rect" href="http://services.google.com/feedback/abg" coords="384,10,453,23"/></map><img usemap="#google_ad_map_abc" border="0" src="http://imageads.googleadservices.com/pagead/ads?format=468×30_aff_img&client=ca-pub-123&output=png&cuid=abc&url=http://www.abc.com/abc.html"/>

Does anyone know the challenges Google is facing over rolling out this product??
Its been ages since they announced it !!
It seems they are catching up with other evol empires such as Microsoft in terms of product release delays

Though in Feedburner there is the monetize section, which has been present for a while. I checked that section and you can display the codes for your adsense ads from other sites, and I guess apply them (i.e. ads)to your feed?

This will definitely increase the publishers earning and feedburner users will increase in due course of time..

So google may actually start adding ads to all the newsfeeds etc, is it a violation to strip off these ads before we display it in our websites?

Very interesting how it will work. I hope they don’t make Google reader worst.

I just hope that the layout is going to be a little better than on the screen shot and there will be options to customize it.
Other than that I’m pretty excited.
