Your perfect XML / RSS Sponsor Feed?
I'm in the position of rolling out new XML/RSS feeds for a pretty popular sponsor here.
There's essentially no limit on what I can do here. We'll be feeding out in daily updates, for each site across the entire network.
Here's what I can already feed out:
Descriptions: 500-1000 characters long
Images: Thumbs, precut to 160x120, 299x372, 230x160, 75x75
Trailer Video: Cut in FLV or WMV
Actor: Name + Link to bio / sets page
Niche: Niche / Categories [+ links to all videos of category]
Date: Update date & Time
Site: + Link
I was thinking of letting affiliates query / customise this by:
- Site[s] Specific Feed
- Model[s] Specific Feed
- Niche[s] Specific Feed
Plus the standard:
- Number of updates
- Date range
I know a few of you guys are really into XML / RSS feeds, and know exactly what you want.
Any pro tips on your perfect feed? What have I missed on up there?
How do you like to handle having multiple media items in a feed?
Do you like to be able to select the specific media type, or do you like having them all there, and you pulling out the specific data?
post away!
