Affiliate Feed Generator - Convert Affiliate Datafeeds to RSS
As everyone knows, I’ve been trying to push more merchants to offer RSS datafeeds. Affiliates want them guys! Well most merchants don’t have the option yet, so I keep my eyes open for apps that will convert affiliate datafeeds to RSS. “Affiliate Feed Generator” is one of the apps I have been watching and waiting for with some anticipation.
The sale page says the software can convert datafeeds from Shareasale, Commission Junction, Linkshare and Kolimbo to RSS. Not only that but it masks the links too so they don’t look like “thin” affiliate sites to the search engines. I have not used the product yet but I have tried RSStoBlog one of the other products they offer.
How Does Affiliate Feed Generator Work?
1. Download a feed from your favorite affiliate network
2. Browse for the feed on your computer wth “Affiliate Feed Generator”
3. Choose which affiliate network the feed is from
4. Enter your affiliate ID
5. Customize the look of the feed. (Choose font color and image alignment.)
6. Generate your feed in 1 of 3 formats; Webpages, RSS feed or RSS to Blog feed.
If I did affiliate sites and had time, I would take it for a spin myself. Sounds slick, sounds easy.
