an rss feed is a easy stream of content for those people running blogs and anything that can translate an rss file

I can take a rss feed and input it into my blog and tell the script to update once a day from your rss feed, and once a day my script will go in and grab one entry from your rss feed and post it to my blog, and that post (hopefully) will look like I wrote the post and it will be an easy way for me to gain more posts without actually having to write anything

It will work for you because of the amount of people using blogs and autoblogger pro/rss2blog these days, both autoblogger pro and rss2blog are awesome tools that allow a webmaster to basically run a blog without ever having to update it

Please PLEASE PLEASE, do not just think you can look at others rss feeds and think you can just copy what they are doing and think people will be all right with it...so many sponsors thought they could just jump in and create something simple and people would instantly use it....and it turns out that blog users need very specific things...check this out for a nice start

if you really wanna take it to the next level, like I know you like to, give all of us affiliates the option of making a fully customized rss feed. I want to be able to control all aspects of the rss feed and output something that is completely customized for MY site....images, text, title, etc...all customized to what I want.

If you need anything else Jay, please feel free to hit me up, i would love to work with you and guide you to what would be the perfect rss feed
