    Does anybody have a list of affiliate programs that offer RSS feeds that include the affiliate codes in the URL's so you still get commissions?

    I'm having a hard time finding decent programs :(

    Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

    Hi Discreet,

    Ive blogged several times and posted on forums about the need for merchants to get on the RSS feed bandwagon. Few have so far. I have read about a couple, but can't remember now who they are. Will try to ck for you.

    This article http://www.5staraffiliateprograms.com/blog-software-rss-tools.html
    shows software that will help you convert regular datafeeds to RSS.

    Plus one of my 5 Star forum mods Teli, has new software about ready to come out that coverts datafeeds to RSS but it only works with WordPress.

    I'm also working with a couple other companies that are creating solutions.
    Will keep you posted.

    Hope this helps and best of luck!

    Hm, I should really take a look at this RSS feed topic. Is it hard to implement on the affiliate side? Are there sample scripts?

    I just found one of the merchants I had read about that has RSS feeds for you.
    https://www.montred.com/affiliates/ Jewelry and diamonds.

    I know Shawn Collins is trying to figure out how to offer RSS feeds for some of his programs through CJ too. We've been talking about it on his board. Let you know as I find more.

    Oh this is another program that could help til more merchants start providing RSS. http://www.buyitbomb.com/

    Hi Kevin,
    If you already have a blog then ideally showing product RSS feeds would be a oneline script you add.

    Yup, pretty interesting things MontRED is doing with RSS feeds (pre-coded with affiliate-ids). We have:
    (1) RSS coupon feed
    (2) RSS product feed
    (3) RSS product feed per category

    And here is an example of a third-party use of our RSS feed. MyDataFeedScripts .com has come up with a customizable coupon-ticker that pulls MontRED coupon feed and displays MontRED coupons in a slideshow format.

    Questions & comments, please let me know. :)

    cheers!

    The Affiliate datafeed RSS script link above does not take you to the info page yet.

    I got a product info link from Teli that not only explains how the program works in more detail but it shows a video of how you can easily convert ANY affiliate datafeed into RSS and publish it to your blog. Really excited about this. You can even set up timing for how many products you want to publish to your blog and how often. Also it will creat product categories so to shoppers it does not even have to really look like a blog but, lets them shop by category. Watch the vid and you'll see what I mean.

    The video demo is about halfway down the page. This is very cool!
