If you subscribe to me through an RSS reader you should now see a small ad at the bottom of each feed item. I am testing out the new RSS advertising that I have added to The Lounge. I have tested them in Google Reader, NetNewsWire, and Feed Burner. If you see an issue in your feed reader please let me know, I want to make sure above all that I am not causing any problems with a specific reader that I have not tested with. Over the next week I will have a couple other sites roll out the ads to test it on a larger scale, my goal is to launch the .NET RSS Room August 1st.
RSS advertising has become more and more prevalent over the last couple of years with plenty of big players in the market like Google, FeedBurner, and Pheedo. My goal is to deliver more relevant ads as most of the ads you see on the big players are more general technology ads, with The Lounge RSS ads I will be able to focus in on .NET publishers and .NET advertisers.
I will also only support people adding my advertisements to full feeds, ads in partial feeds is just wrong. Right now you will see an ad in every feed item, but that will be changing before August 1st as I add a metering option so publishers can decide how often the ads should show up.

Maggie,
Thanks!
Ian,
Thanks! I am actually glad technologies are out there to remove the ads, that way I never feel guilty about adding the ads.
Works fine on newsgator online as well..
