Are you sure that this is OK with Google Adsense?

I am having troubles getting the Google Adsense feed banners to appear in my MailChimp RSS driven weekly enewsletter. The feed (http://feeds.feedburner.com/photoclique) shows the banners when viewed in a browser. But when I drop the enewsletter I get the spacing between each post for the banners, but no banners appear in OutLook, Gmail or in the MailChimp preview. Any advice on how to get the Adsense feed banners to appear thru a MailChimp driven eNL would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

We made a tweak that would supposedly address this issue. I heard mixed results about whether or not feedburner updated their stats, and am honestly not sure where we stand on it. I’ll ask around, but in the meantime here’s the KB article on it:

Note that feedburner can be slow to update stats.

I’m waiting for the response to Antonio and the confirmation of the RSS feed upgrade.
Keeping the RSS feed list in feedburner it´s an important step now to reveal activity to Google… The owner of feedburner…
I’m studing all the internet mail services and mail chimp is perfect but it misses this option…
Maybe Aweber will be my choice…
Next mon’t if they fix RSS I will decide…

I have tried this and am only getting the excerpt, however, my blog is not set to the excerpt for feeds. I have a full feed for feedburner and my site, how can I correct this?

We created Chimpfeedr for exactly that reason. It will allow you to take many different RSS feeds and combine them into one. Then you can use that one feed for your RSS to email campaign.

I’ll 2nd that; I would like to get an answer re: Step 3.

And also, if I setup up RSS-to-Email (for my Feedburner subscribers) will Feedburner still send out it’s daily feed on top – or does MailChimp override that from happening once you setup RSS-to-Email?

Because I (fairly) diligently create a monthly newsletter using MailChimp. The only reason I’m interested in trying RSS-to-Email for my Feedburner list is so those people get a nicely designed email feed, instead of the standard (ugly) Feedburner layout.
