Daily Deals Aggregator - How to grab the deals

    Hey guys,

    So I'm wondering, how would one go about setting up a daily deals aggregator site similar to Dealery. I would ideally like to run it on the Wordpress platform, but am unsure how to best grab the deals from various daily deal sites, and import them as posts.

    Initially I though the easiest way would be using RSS feeds, but not every site has them, and they are all structured differently. So I though a service like Dapper would work to go into each site and grab the relevant information I wanted. It worked for some, and not for others.

    So what is the best way to get the daily deals information from all sites in a specific location, and put those into RSS feeds to be posted in a Wordpress blog using a plugin similar to WP-o-Matic? Thanks in advance, I really appreciate the help

    I run a major daily deal aggregator called mydealbag. We have an API that you can pull from to get all of the deals, we also offer a widget that streams all of the deals that can be plugged into any website. Shoot me an email at sean (at) mydealbag.com if you would like more info.
