How to Transfer FeedBurner Feeds to Google

AdSense for Feeds was finally released, I tried to add ads to my original feeds which were burned by FeedBurner. FeedBurner offers AdSense settings, but you need to put the ad codes to your blog by yourself, and it’s not working for me, because I can see the ads not just in the feed, also on the blog, I don’t know why.

And now you can setup AdSense for Feeds in you Google AdSense account. But I found that you must create a new feed with Google, you can’t use your feed from FeedBurner, and if you create a new feed, all your subcribers in the original feed. I’ve been looking for a way to transfer my FeedBurner feeds to Google account, but I failed. I went through FeedBurner website and Google website about feeds, I did the search on Google, but I can’t find anyone talking about this. I finally decide to create a new feed, change my blog to the new feed, and continue to use the original feed. As the result, only new subscirbers can see ads.

One week after that, I found a post on FairyFish.net, the author said he had secessfully transfered his feeds from FeedBurner to Google account. All what he did was sending an email to adsense-support-aff@google.com, and asked Google to get the job done. Here is his email:

Hi there,

Would you please migrate my feedburner account to Google Account.

My FeedBurner Account user name is xxxxx
My Google Adsense email address is xxxx@xxx.com

Thanks in advance

And he received the reply email 9 days later, telling him, he can no longer to use his FeedBurner account to login FeedBurner, all his feeds was transfered to Google, and some other things about setting AdSense for Feed.

Hello,

Success! As you requested, we have migrated your FeedBurner account to your requested Google Account.

You may now access all of your feeds by visiting this address:

http://feedburner.google.com

You will no longer be able to sign in to feedburner.com, but that’s okay: from now on, there is no reason to do so. Also, your old FeedBurner feeds, found at feeds.feedburner.com, will automatically redirect to their new addresses on the feedproxy.google.com domain. You may still want to update any links or buttons on your website to use the new feedproxy.google.com address.

All of your feeds have been moved into this new account, and an initial batch of your most recent 30 days’ traffic stats has been loaded up. (Your entire stats history, should it go beyond the last 30 days, will be added at a future date. If you see “0″ for the most recent full day, don’t panic! It may take 24 hours for that day’s full dose of stats to appear in your new account.)

*** MyBrand Instructions ***

Do you use MyBrand, FeedBurner.com’s service for mapping your own custom domain to FeedBurner’s feed server? It is very important you read the following instructions. Your MyBrand URL (example: feeds.joepublisher.com) will stay the same, however you will need to make changes for traffic to smoothly transition to your migrated feed(s).

The following topic from Google Apps for Administrators provides general instructions for changing CNAME entries with many popular domain hosts:

You will want to map feeds.YOURDOMAIN.COM to ghs.google.com.

*** End of MyBrand Instructions ***

Finally, to set up AdSense for feeds, you now need to visit AdSense at http://www.google.com/adsense and choose the AdSense for Feeds option under Manage Ads > Get Ads. (Ads won’t appear in your feed(s) unless set up new ad units for them there.)

Sincerely,

The Google Team

You can try to send the email, but I don’t think the Google team can accomplish all the requests.
