Most affiliates aren't using sponsors RSS feeds to their fullest potential.

Not to mention sponsors not taking the time to properly setup their feeds so their affiliates actually make some cash. I mean is it really worth putting up RSS feeds for your affiliates to use if it has one line of text and a picture, the answer is hell no. The affiliate and sponsor are both losing money.

We have quite a few affiliates pushing great numbers through our feeds, but i'm a little hesitant to post links of my own here, plus i would never post any of our affiliates links without permission.

I've said this a few times and had little response which is surprising considering how many people supposedly have large networks of blogs, we offer custom RSS feeds to any of our affiliates that have enough traffic. Reason being that most sponsor hosted feeds have one specific look to them and that doesn't always fit with the look of the affiliates blogs/sites and by giving them the option of using a custom feed we can customize the feed to look whichever way they may want. Whether it's more image content, or more text or less text, different posting schedule and so on... we go above and beyond to make our affiliates sales.

IF ANYONE IS SERIOUS ABOUT DOING SOME BIZ SHOOT ME A MSG
Great post. Wish you had sites for the niches I push.. I keep checking, but unfortunately you don't. One day...
