Contextual Affiliate Ads for Blogs

October 10, 2004 by Shawn Collins

FeedBurner, a very cool service that provides RSS feed syndication, has incorporated a new option for their feeds: the Amazon.com Associates Service.

The Amazon Associates Service enablers bloggers to automatically place items from Amazon.com related to their content directly into individual feed items, and it follows an insertion frequency plan that you control (i.e. an Amazon affiliate ad after each post in your feed, every other post, etc).

If you’ve got an RSS reader, you can see this in action by subscribing to the AffiliateTip.com Blog feed.

And just a couple days ago, Brian Clark predicted that “XML-based ad services for RSS feeds are going to be amazing growth area in 2005.”

In addition to FeedBurner, it seems that Yahoo is looking into this sort of thing for Overture.
