Lightbulb Cj feeds + ads system

Wonder if anyone think about that first...

Like i post a one article on any niche and at the middle of article one of php code setup there and he took the "main title" keywords .. search for them in cj products and post them that in article...

EG: "I recommended this fashion company for buying cool Tshirts"

So people click them easily and we get save our time also...

Wait, i haven't use cj datafeeds so i don't know really whether thats way data feed working o anyone have already kinda scripts ? Would be glad if anyone share that...

That's not the typical way feeds work. I mean, I think you could do that if you are technical but not sure it would be practical.

The way affiliates typically use a datafeed is to display all the merchants products on their own site. So it looks like a new custom store with the affiliate's design. We have tools that let you build a store filled with 6,000 of the merchants products in less than 1/2 an hour.

Yep duplicate contest is an issue. The savvy datafeed affiliates go into the merchant feed with something like Excel and re-write the descriptions. I just blogged about how to do that recently here it is.

"Teli Adlam is the developer of the WordPress Datafeed Import Script which is an Affiliate Datafeed to RSS Conversion program, so rest assured she knows her stuff when it comes to datafeeds. Teli is also one of our VERY knowledgeable 5 Star Affiliate Forum Moderators so I wanted to share a recent blog she wrote about making feeds unique.

The Affiliate Datafeed Unique Content Myth
"Using the same datafeed files as other affiliates doesn’t mean you can’t have a unique affiliate website, however; there are a couple ways. It does take a little more effort on your part (not much, about 30 extra minutes preparing the datafeed depending on size), but the results may be surprising."

"Historically product feeds are poorly formatted / infrequently updated / have incorrect information / have poor or no category structure. Wait - no that is actually still the case"

Yes, Google does absolutely see the datafeed as duplicate content. So, most likely the merchant's website becomes the authority site and yours becomes supplimental.

However, that doesn't keep you from getting natural rankings on pages that use the datafeeds.

And Brain Edwards is absolutely right in giving most merchants a big thumbs down on the quality of their feeds. All you AMs out there wanting better results from your affiliates would be smart to improve the quality of those feeds ... not to do so is cost you big $$$!!!
