So if I have a niche that has deals occasionally showing up on Slickdeals, Fatwallet, and the like, how can I use them on my little niche site? Right now I'm just posting them as a service, with attribution, no money for me in it. But how would I do it otherwise?
Well I know for a fact that slickdeals has an RSS feed.. If your using wordpress you can snag any of the many RSS displaying plugins to show the latest posts on slickdeals in a mini sectino on your sidebar. However that would show every deal that they post, not just the ones specific to your niche. Unfortunately I don't think most of the deal sites have them sorted by 'niche' with separate RSS feeds for each.
Civin: thanks for weighing in. that's kind of what I figured. one way to do it, i think, is using yahoo pipes but i'm too busy at the moment to give it my full attention. maybe down the road a piece ...
If your looking to make 1 feed from all of the sites Yahoo Pipes or the lesser known Feed Twister would let you merge feeds into one. (supports 3 languages in the top left corner at http://www.feedtwister.com.) That is of course assuming that all of the other sites also run on RSS feeds which I'll admit I honestly didn't check
