Yup, that's right, if you get a Yahoo News feed to your blog or website, you might wan to think again and make sure that feed doesn't have an ad in it.

 

Targeted RSS Feed

Granted, if the ads are actually related to the news feed and have HELPFUL infomation content then I would be glad to have it because its not some 'dummy ad' that just says, "Look at me, I am selling something!" That would be insane and make many people (including me) very cross.

Not a totally thought out idea I think. It could work but only if its not on all the feeds from a content source AND the subscriber knows about it.

What would work is a feed that is all ads. I think this way it would force ads to be more information based and helpful to consumers rather than "hey look at me! I'm glowing and on sale!" type ads.

It would be far better if RSS ad feeds worked like Google Text banners such that the information diplayed is HELPFUL to the person who is looking at it. I would love to have an RSS feed that has HELPFUL ads rather than caveman ads and non related products on my webpage.

If they make it related to the feed, related to the site, and make the ads educational and/or information based then ok, give it a shot. Otherwise it will be a doomed project.
