    How many webmasters are taking advantage of RSS Feeds?

    And if so is it a minor or major part of your operation?

    I like RSS feeds, but I find that very few sponsors are doing them right.

    I find it's best to compose my own feeds still. It would be nice if it was all automated and seamless, but then everyone would be doing well with them I guess.

      I agree, we are doing something about it, and I might ask you if I can quote you. ;)

          I would love to implement RSS feeds into Lightspeedcash, but I'd like to hear first what webmasters REALLY want, not just try to copy what has already been done.

              What's a good email to catch you at personally? We are about to launch something I'm sure you'd at least be interested in hearing about.

                I use them but my gut feeling is they don't sell better than banners.

                        I think a lot of people use them... "rely" upon them is probably not true, but rss can be good.

                        Most sponsors do a piss poor job of supplying affiliates with good rss.

                          Ok here is one for blogs. I dont know anything about tgp ones but this is what I would like to see from sponsors


                          Wordpress feeds so you can use feed wordpress or Chio Pirate software

                          Post title: Tawnee Stone (random keyword) ie pics, Gallery, Nude, Samples, Blog check (overture for what keywords to use)

                          Post Catagory: use them ie, Tawnee Stone, Teen, Free, Pics,


                          Post Body: Few paragraphs of keyword heavy text (if you want to get crazy use the http://nonsense.sourceforge.net/ software and make the text random) with a pic.

                          Option to choose the size of the pics width ie 200 pixels, 300 pixels 400 pixels, 600 pixels

                          Option to link the pic to the tour or a TGP gallery

                          Daily updated entries

                          Ability to filter the feed by niche




                          Other sponsors feel free to make these lol

                          Edit Softcore pics too please

                                    We try to be fairly flexible. I agree that there needs to be a bit more dynamic content when it comes to actual posts so they aren't all exactly the same for every page/site, though..

                                    However, we do allow affiliates to generate dynamic feeds based on categories and have multiple templates to choose from with different image sizes, number of images, etc.

                                      I would love to see some feeds from lightspeed! So far I've only found about two sponsors who do the feeds to par.
                                      MediumPimpin does them perfectly for blogs. Check out my blog here for examples.
                                      TastyDollars also does them ok, could be better but it's good enough. See my blog above for examples.
                                      What I'de really like to see is them updated more often with maybe a bit more in depth thought to the blog itself. Usually they blog like "blah blah here she is, watch her do this or that." I'de like to see maybe more background info about the model herself. Hmm, can't think of anything else at the moment.

                                        You just mean the entries have a large hyperlinked heading?

                                          That would also be a good thing to control.

                                                What I'de really like to see is them updated more often with maybe a bit more in depth thought to the blog itself. Usually they blog like "blah blah here she is, watch her do this or that." I'de like to see maybe more background info about the model herself. Hmm, can't think of anything else at the moment.

                                                  Only one of my sites is using automated feeds. It's functional, but I'm far from happy with it.

                                                  Of the feeds I do use I'd like to see some changes. First and foremost, if a photo is included in the xml, make it clickable with my ref code. If I had the time to parse every feed this wouldn't be such a big deal -- but I don't at the moment.

                                                  If you provide feeds that update periodically, please don't have your feed fall silent for a week at a time and then feed in the entire week all at once.

                                                  Overall I would likely use RSS feeds on more sites, but at this point I haven't found a large enough variety that are mature enough to rely on.

                                                  I'm always interested in seeing new feeds, so once they're ready bring 'em on!

                                                      Oh sorry heh. Well, most sponsors that I've came across got the whole concept wrong. Like they have the feeds for their fhg updates and then tell everyone that they offer blog feeds.

                                                        Not in the slightest.

                                                        I don't use RSS feeds because I am a sponsor(kinda sorta the same thing you doi kinda sorta guess)... we don't compete with our affiliates for traffic.

                                                        My comments were about many sponsor's failure to use RSS properly. Not a request for a webcams.com improvement.

                                                                  where should I start looking for GOOD feeds - like more than a title and a huge link to the source???

                                                                    First blogs and now RSS feeds are two areas where mainstream has left us in the dust. And if mainstream used hosted galleries, we would likely have looked stupid there too.

                                                                    About 6 months ago I went looking for sponsors who had feeds which might work on a blog, a real blog not a TGP by another name: I found 30. I tried out 3 different WordPress aggregators and they all worked fine, but they could only read and display 9 of those 30 feeds. I had to drop 2 of those because every few days their code would be screwed up and break my site.

                                                                    It's staggering that in an industry this size, so few RSS feeds are compatible with the most popular blogging software. And although those apparently worked, only 2 validated fully. The seven varied from high-quality but oversized pics taking up 3 screens and with hardly any text, to poor quality cam stills with the kind of BS sales pitch you find on a tour. A couple were pretty good and looked as if some thought went into them (not surprisingly maybe, they were also the ones which validated properly) and that was it...
