It would be better if the posts would be tagged with a specific tag like Drupal Planet; the posts I checked are tagged with different tags (Drupal Themes, Drupal 6, etc).
Do you mean the davidherron.com main feed, or the one on http://davidherron.com/drupal-blogging/feed ... I haven't added google ads to the latter one, but have done so to the main feed. Are you seeing it differently?
@kiamlaluno The implementation is a view that catches a few specific terms to generate a topic-hub page on Drupal topics. Seems like that would be the most desirable way to aggregate into planet drupal. I use the same technique for sending posts to some other aggregator sites. Am I missing something?
However, I'm pretty sure the Planet aggregator will filter this out anyway. Still need to address a specific 'Drupal Planet' tag used for the feed. We require a specific tag for all added feeds and currently syndicated feeds whenever a problem arises.
Hm, obviously I missed that before. The cause is that I have been using adsense injector module and it's configured to inject into teasers, and the view incorporates teasers. I've just instructed it to not inject into teasers and the ads aren't showing up in the feed now. There are some comments google_ad_section_begin and google_ad_section_end, injected by something or other, which I think are inconsequential.
I'm still not getting what you're saying about a 'planet drupal' tag. Are you saying you want a taxonomy term 'Drupal Planet' such that this ends up as a category tag in the feed? The items in my feed have varying category tag values because of how they're categorized on my site. I post a lot of stuff on my site and only want to send Drupal specific posts over here. I'm using a view for this - but you're suggesting to use a taxonomy term?

You should use the taxonomy term Drupal Planet so that all the articles in the feed are tagged with that term.
As far as the taxonomy term Drupal Planet is correctly applied, then it is fine.
The purpose of the tag is to have only articles that are really interesting for who reads the Drupal Planet feed; it should not contains articles about Joomla, Linux, Windows.
@reikiman: Absolutely fine. The only thing we care about is that a specific Planet-related tag is used to control which content is in the feed. That way people can't just tag something they casually or barely mentioned Drupal in with a 'Drupal' tag and have it broadcasted when its off-topic. Using a Planet-specific tag (hopefully) forces people to realize, "Hey, I'm about to broadcast this out. Am I sure its on topic?"
Let us know the new feed or when its updated so we can add you!
I have my site updated... The posts tagged specifically for Drupal Planet are on the following URL's. Looking at my topic hub page there are a couple posts which I tagged with Drupal but probably aren't suitable for Planet Drupal (e.g. a little tutorial on setting up MAMP on a Mac to do Drupal development)
Looks good and I've added the feed with the name 'David Herron' and set the feed interval to fetch every three hours. Thanks David for being responsible to our requirements. :)
I've suspended the feed as it was not updating due to 500 Internal Server Error. The whole site apart from the frontpage seems broken. I hope the situation gets fixed in the near future.
Thank you for calling my attention to this. Turns out to be a problem with the Bad Behavior module and I've disabled that module for now. My site is working again.

dave reid@reikiman: It's in the Drupal feed linked above. If you view the source of the feed, you'll see it quite clearly:

reikiman commentedOkay gotcha.. I'll take care of this tonight. I assume it's okay for other terms to show up as category elements in the feed?
