Google Affiliate Ads Already Working on Blogger?

For a while now we have been seeing rumors of a Google powered affiliate ad network. If you think about it, it makes perfect sense, as they already have the infrastructure, the publishers and the advertisers.
Despite that so far we haven’t seen anything tangible.
Last week I was browsing on YouTube, however, and I came across an interesting video published by the Blogger Help team (i.e., Google’s division who helps Blogger users). The video is below if you want to see it:
Neat huh?
Basically you just need an AdSense account and you can start adding affiliate links directly on your content. The earnings will go straight to your AdSense account and you’ll get paid as you normally do.
The bad news is that apparently the Affiliate Ads are only available on the Blogger platform. Hopefully this is just a test phase, and once they think the product is ready for prime time they will open it for all platforms.
If you are a Blogger use please let us know if you already see this feature available. This is the official page by the way.
