Boy, news like this would certainly dampen anyone’s day, I think! Apparently Google’s AdSense RSS public beta is already full. Now that happened a lot faster than I had expected.

I saw yesterday — and blogged yesterday — that Google AdSense for RSS was now open for a Public Beta. Within hours of their Googleblog blog post I had filled out the form to sign up. Earlier today I received the email above with their response:

Denied.

Seems like this might be a form rejection and not an actual personal reply. I blocked the name of the Google Adsense team member, but the rest of the text is verbatim from what I received. Because it looks very non-personal — a form rejection — I do not think this was private correspondence that I shouldn’t be able to publish.

So are they already full? They opened for one day to the “public” and within a mere few hours they had already received all the test candidates that they could handle? If that’s the case, then that’s really a limited, limited public beta, isn’t it?

Also, I just visited the Adsense for feeds signup page and it says nothing about their beta already being full. This makes me wonder if they are looking for certain types of blogs and this one doesn’t fit their criteria. Could the reason this blog was rejected is because it wasn’t using their own blogger blog software? Not trying to create any conspiracy or anything crazy here, I’m just wondering aloud. Any other blogger readers get accepted using other software? [Read the rest]
