    okay so this is a fairly obvious question, but Im looking to find which affiliate network is the best for its datafeeds in relation to the ammount of information provided, ease of use, uniformity between advertisers in the network in thier use of the datafeed etc So that you dont have to modify everything to match each individual company you advertise.

    In your views what are the best networks that provide datafeeds and why?

    I'm obviously biased, but definitely worth looking at the Webgains datafeeds, we have always received very good reviews of our feeds' quality and our feed system

    Depends what you are selling but some merchants are using fusepump to create their feeds. John lewis is a recent example.

    Hi there,

    On buy.at we have launched our range of Concurrent Feeds starting off with mobile, named CF-M.

    These mobile feeds are unique in that they all share an identical, standardised structure meaning the process of importing the feeds is a much simpler process than it would be when importing feeds with varying structures. Look out for feeds with (CF-M) in the title within our management area.

    At launch, the following programmes are included in the CF-M range:

    3 Mobile
    O2
    Orange
    T-Mobile
    Virgin

    Retail wise, the majority of our feeds within each of the verticals contain very similar structures and data.

    Because our feed system is completely flexible in the data we can offer, our feeds are generally very rich in data. Our flexibility means that for example, feeds for Tickets will have a completely different set of data to Travel (e.g. you wouldnt have a destination airport in a Ticket feed)

    Hope that helps. Any questions give me a shout

    Regards
    Simon

    Thanks hero your feeds do look good after downloading and having a play with, and buy.at Ill have a look at yours after Ive fished through all of my affiliate information see if I have an account with you guys at the moment if not I might sign up and have a look as unified feeds is definately what I am seeking, gets awkward when you have to adapt things as different merchants use different fields for different things especially when the csv downloads in one big file and you have to split it and then edit things to a large degree before use.

    No worries, you can sign up for both buy.at through this URL Affiliate Signup : buy.at Affiliate Network

    It might be worth you having a read through this feed integration guide I wrote that has helped a large amount of affiliates since we launched it, you may know alot of the content already but theres a good section on filtering our feeds which should help
