How to make money from ads is off-topic, sorry for starting in that direction.
I don't quite get this, though. What about e-mails and RSS is being compared?

The business of ads in feeds is pretty confused. How does a feed relate to an impression, when it might be viewed later or not at all?
I would hope that advertisers figure out that impression-based approaches don't really mesh with feeds, but in the meantime, we are probably stuck with hacks like Bob Wyman describes.
We punted explicit support for ads, so they will continue to show up in content and cause more work for Bob.
