Hi Everyone,
I'm new to affiliate marketing (4 months) and I want to set up a site with RSS Feed to pull merchandise into my site. I have an account with LinkShare which offers RSS Feed but a limited amount of vendors using it. I would like to have a better selection to choose from than what I find on Link Share. I have looked at CJ and Google and they don't offer it. Are there any other affiliate marketing companies that other RSS Feed to their Affiliate community? - Take care.

Yes - AvantLink does have an RSS feed for their merchants.

Buy.at has an RSS feed for some of their merchants too.

BTW CJ does offer XML datafeeds, you just have to set it up under Account > Services

Hi 2Busy,
I am using an auto feeder with RSS feeds but that will not work with XML files. I don't have a clue how to set up XML feeds to load on to my site. Is there any freeware software I can get that will perform that function for me?

If it's a wordpress site, there are a ton of plugins that can do this. You may have to tweak the product display template some.

To use xml files in a static site you would need to associate a schema file with it, similar to css. If it isn't WP or static, I don't know how you could integrate it but I would bet there are answers for Drupal, Joomla etc. that you might find in their documentation - or there is always the search engines.

The site is built on WP. I have looked at some of the free plugins offered but they don't seem to be designed to take the contents of my static XML file I get from CJ and convert it to separate posts like you can get with RSS feed.

for example what could I do with the links that I am pulling from the rss?

Avantlink and Buy.at are the only ones with an RSS that I know continually update. Most bigger players will have one but not nearly as close to what people expect from the regulars.
