Sorry to be such a newbie and all BUT, does anyone have any book suggestions to learn about datafeeds. I understand what it is, but don't know how to implement or find programs. I don't know enough to ask an intelligent question. I know I need it; I don't know where to start. Help!

Hi Joycee,

Here is a basic article about datafeeds I wrote, so you can start at the beginning.

Here are many of our free datafeeds plus the IPC a tool that lets you create datafeed sites without needing special software or programming skills.

With a little programming, you can do very powerful stuff. So if you have a knack for it, look into learning Perl or PHP.

I just added to the resources above and made this thread a sticky for those that are new to datafeeds and want to learn the basics or discover cool datafeed tools.

I'm lost, too -- I have one affiliate that has datafeeds, and I've set up databases before, but just can't seem to grasp this datafeed opportunity.

Thank you for all of the material. I am reading it now.

Linda, I went through your article and found invaluable knowledge about datafeeds, its uses and kinds. I am new to AM and still don’t know many concepts. Can you give me another link for understanding conversion rates?
