Activating Adsense in Feedburner

When I first read about it last week, it was not available in my account. Being from Canada, I suspected that it was US only at first. I checked it today and it's available. You don't just drop your Asense id. It's too simple and unsecured.

I activated the Adsense option in Feedburner. Once I did that, I went to see if I could see ads in the current RSS feed in Firefox. I saw nothing thus I'm writing this post to force it.

A few things(from memory and I should had taken more mental notes :p ):

• You must activate it.
• You create an Adsense account if you don't have one or give information about it.
• You will then receive an email from Adsense confirming that you want Feedburner to access some of your account.
• When in Adsense, you may want to create a feedburner channel to see how many clicks come from it.
• You will be able to configure the layout within Feedburner.
