Do any other toy/gadget merchants have them?

I've tried contacting Boystuff / dgm to get their rss feed without the tracking code but haven't heard anything back.

We have one here

You can create a RSS feed of any advanced search and have CJ tracking embedded. It's an option at the bottom of advanced search. The RSS feed has the gallery image too so you can do the following cool stuff with some of these tools.

This allows you to easily embed RSS into your site

These allow any site even just in HTML to include RSS feeds as a ticker within the page.

Hope this helps - lots of cool things to do with RSS in terms of integrations.

"Do any other toy/gadget merchants have them?"

I believe Buy.com has one. I've been meaning to check it out and try uploading to www.valuegeek.com my affiliate test site I've been experimenting with.

One of my potential new clients is working on at RSS feed and they have more than 50,000 products. www.thenerds.net Not sure of their shipping policy to UK though.

Do these rss feeds have affiliate codes in so I can earn commission from click throughs? or is it easy to add affiliate codes to rss feed.

I can see the benefit for updated content but if they have no tracking code I will not earn commission if someone clicks and buys from these links

or am i missing the point?

Some do (ie ebay) most don't.
Just have to plug your tracking url into the phpcode.

ie:

$link = $networklink . urlencode($rsslink); 

Where a buy.at style $networklink would be

$networklink = "http://fantasticstore.at/urid?DURL=";

Firebox have some! for what's new: http://www.firebox.com/rss.xml

and for the top twenty: http://www.firebox.com/xml/top_twenty.xml

I think we've had them for a while.....

Am not technical enough to get into detailed discussion without looking like a fool. But hey, anyone is welcome to use them if you find them useful.

For other non-technical people, there's some really basic info on rss here which was written as some info to give customers on what rss is etc....might amuse you if nothing else!

Hi there.

iTunes also offers a RSS feed generator via their TradeDoubler affiliate program. Details can be found on the program info page or contact us on the details below.

Thanks.

Merchants should check out Nooked - they even have a free version - We've used with clients and its an excellent service.

It provides all the basic features needed by Merchants -simple publishing, measurement, one click subscriptions.
