Data feeds allow you to keep your pages up to date with stock and price info from the advertiser that you are an affiliate for. That is done by many different approaches including but not restricted to... 1. Create a dynamic page in ASP or PHP or .Net that reads the data feed as a database and creates a page based on the data in the datafeed. 2. Use a program or website such as goldencan.com to generate a page from the datafeed. 3. Use AJAX (which rocks but takes considerable programming skill) to read and display the products in the datafeed. Hope this helps. JJ
Here is a VERY beginner article I wrote that explains: Datafeeds 101 a Beginners Primer http://www.5staraffiliateprograms.com/datafeed1.html Hope this helps and best of luck!
You are very welcome. On my datafeed directory page you will see that MANY of our affiliate programs offer tools that let you build a datafeed site: filled with thousands of products... in just a few minutes... without ANY knowledge of datafeeds... all datafeed tools are totally FREE... and NO programming is required! Check out the IPC (Instant Page Creator) Info http://www.5staraffiliateprograms.com/IPC-datafeeds.html You can play with the National Geograpic Store demo and see that it's so easy Grandma could do it. Hope this helps and best of luck!
