When a sponsor provides you with RSS feeds, what do YOU want in them? - GoFuckYourself.com

Jace · 11-08-2006, 03:44 AM

Everyone likes something different, I personally love to see content rich posts with a few images that aren't too big

Here is a perfect example of what I love a post from an rss feed to be like

http://www.adailyfix.com/2006/11/06/jasmine-tame/

now, I realize that not everyone can do something like this and that www.spunkbucks.com works so much harder to really give us killer rss feeds, but what do you want to see from a sponsors rss feeds?

www.TopBucks.com really went out of their way to get some nice hosted gallery feeds done....a lot of sponsors just put a line of text, or a line of text and a thumb, but www.TopBucks.com went a step farther and really spruced their feeds up nicely

so, let's hear it, what does your perfect rss feed from an affiliate program look like?

A few things I like in an Rss feed.

I prefer just one large image around 320X480, a few good paragraphs of text. I also like the images linked to a page with the larger picture and some more good text rather then directly to the sponsor site.

The Rss feeds should at least be updated every couple of days if not daily, there are tons of Rss feeds out there the vast majority are only updated a few times a month and that to me is pointless.

Hmmm..... so many things in my mind have to think some more.

QuickBuck has spent thousands of dollars advertising their rss feeds, and they haven't updated them since august....pisses me off

For me the ideal feed is updated once every 1-3 days, has 2 decent sized thumbs (320x240), and 1-2 paragraphs of text.

I am actually yet to see a feed that I really like I use a few on different parts of my blog/s but am yet to see one I would test on the index page without fear of losing traffic.

one or two decent sized and high quality images that link to a gallery that contains our linking code. A few paragraphs talking about the set of pictures/model etc and a text link code under that leading to the tour with our linkcode of course.
