Breakthrough new RSS System from RealityCash - need feedback

Reality Cash is pleased to announce the introduction of RSS feeds for our sites. Not only will we be launching quality RSS feeds with plenty of text and thumbnails, we will be utilizing a system called Feed Pushers that randomly changes the structure and selection of words in a post to effectively combat many duplicate content concerns. This technology enables us to provide a fairly unique post for each affiliate, with a large selection of thumbnails also available to be randomly inserted.

To get the best advantage from this system, webmasters should use an RSS aggregator like Feed WordPress or Autoblogger Pro to pull the feeds, and then post them out to their blogs. This ensures that, as opposed to a "live" feed pulling system, you get the maximum amount of SEO benefit from having a unique post.

We will be implementing a phased integration of this system, beginning with 3 sites. These are Hardcore Partying, Right off the Boat, and one of our newest sites, Brea Bennett.

The URL's for the feeds are:

http://rss.hardcorepartying.com
http://rss.rightofftheboat.com
http://rss.breabennett.com

We've tested these feeds using Autoblogger Pro, but please let us know how
they work in other aggregators and on your sites. Some older browsers
aren't equipped to handle RSS feeds "out of the box," so you may not be able
to see the feeds by clicking the above links if you don't have the most
updated browser installed.

To start using these feeds with your ref codes, please visit the Reality Cash control panel and use the tools provided to generate your own custom URL's.

I need feedback on how these work and suggestions.

Great stuff and this one is my favorite http://rss.rightofftheboat.com

Sweet deal. I've been playing with the 18 Interracial Feed Pushers feed on my blog, too .. working out nicely.

because of 2257 I remove all the images in my feeds, and focus it on SEO purposes.

I noticed that only the images are linked to the galleries.... I suggest adding a text link to the gallery and the site as well in case someone like me doesnt want to show images, or if there are problems displaying them.

just my two cents ;)

Is that a problem? I don't think you will need such a feature provided by sponsor feeds. Here is a small and simple WordPress plugin which solves all your problems:

Code:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Remove Tags
Author: CyberXXX (ICQ: 166-924-423)
Author URI: http://www.morphingfeeds.com/
Plugin URI: http://www.thesponsorfeeds.com/
Description: Strips all the tags (e.g. <img>..</img>) excepting the specified ones (note below) from your blog posts.
*/

// Specify all the ALLOWED html here:
define ('ALLOWED_TAGS', "<a><br><p><b><strong><table><td><tr><ul><li>");

function remove_targs($content) {
	return strip_tags($content, ALLOWED_TAGS);
}

add_filter('the_content', 'remove_targs', 20002);
?>

Copy the code above. Save it as "removetags.php", upload into your /plugins FTP folder and activate it from the WordPress control panel (yourblog.com//wp-admin/plugins.php). That's it!

Now ALL the posts on your blog will be displayed without images. Isn't that the easiest possible solution?

P.S. It's not just removes all the images from your blog posts, but also unifies them because it removes various <class>, <font> etc tags thank could make the posts look weird on various blog templates. However, you can add those tags into define line to make them allowed.

This feature is now implemented. Feeds now have the ability to show as many pictures as you'd like, or none at all. There are three text links in each feed now, as well. One major text link (the full line) at the bottom, or "call to action" spot, and two in the text itself. The text for these links, as you'd expect (

) will rotate itself.

Here's an example, using Brea Bennett

Normal feed, with text links: http://rss.breabennett.com

Feed with no images, with text links: http://rss.breabennett.com/feed.php?...6&pic_limit=-1

Feed with 10 pictures: http://rss.breabennett.com/feed.php?...6&pic_limit=10

Sounds like everyone is enjoying the feeds, so we'll be plugging away on some new features. We've already coded (and are testing) the ability to display the thumbs on the top, bottom, or both.

Here's an example, using Brea Bennett Again

Normal feed, 4 images on the bottom: http://rss.breabennett.com

Feed with 3 images, on top: http://rss.breabennett.com/feed.php?...3&pic_format=1

Feed with 5 images, top and bottom: http://rss.breabennett.com/feed.php?...5&pic_format=2

By far, this is most impressive to me, excellent post

Thanks. It's our goal to provide affiliates with the appropriate tools to get the job done, so they don't have to use "hacks," sketchy WordPress plug-ins and other work-arounds.

This is great... I wish all sponsors would do this ;)

thanks for the tip! I might use it in the future, but actually what I do is pretty ghetto.... I keep my sponsor feeds and original posts separated on different blogs, so on blogs with sponsor feeds I use CSS to make all IMG tags hidden... so I still download them, and they are in the blog post code, but they aren't shown.

this way, in case 2257 changes in the future or somehow I'll be okay to display the images, I can just turn IMG tags back on in CSS.

might be a good solution for others out there too

Actually the script doesn't remove the <img> links from your blog's database, so it's also very easy to switch the images on/off. Just click activate/deactivate link in your WP plugins panel. So I believe it's a better solution than CSS just because the images are really don't show on your blog (they even don't exist in the generated HTML code) so no one could see them - even Google Images

Thus if you are really worried about 2257 issue - it's a best solution. Furthermore, it will work with all ALL the sindicated feeds but not with several ones. The plugin works globally to all the posts on your blog without making any changes in your WP database.

There are no "hacks" or something like that. The plugin I wrote for you uses standard WP API's, so it 100% compatible with ALL versions of WordPress and it's 100% safe because it doesn't change your existing WordPress database.

P.S. I don't know a person who had a problem with my far more complicated WP plugins so far

Pretty smart stuff!

New Feature -- Picture Alignment

Now, in addition to being able to set the number of pictures you pull or even remove pictures completely, you can choose the alignment of the pictures -- left-aligned (default), or centered.

Here's an example, using Brea Bennett, with pictures aligned to the center

http://rss.breabennett.com/feed.php?...=6&pic_align=1

Enjoy!

how would you setup your aggregator to check for uniqueness ?
is guid stable enough ?

**candyflip** · 08-20-2007, 07:37 AM

2 weeks and no updates. I thought these were supposed to update quite regularly?

**Doctor Feelgood** · 08-20-2007, 08:28 AM

instead of 4 small thumbs for brea bennett make 3 bigger ones.
brea works ok in WP Autoblog, and jenna haze is hot!

Edgeprod already addressed that, and said their specifications were 5 per week. Surely they want more than one update in 2 weeks, no?

Posts will be added at a rate of 5 per week across all of the Reality Cash feeds, as per their specifications.

That's the spec they asked for. Three new sites launched last week (they haven't been announced yet), and three more will launch this week. That's where the updates have gone.

Any chance you're going to pay me for those domains you bid on? I've asked in a few threads, feel free to ICQ me whenever.

No problem, but feel free to ICQ in the future.

guid should change per post. The date also does.

I had to change some date stuff to accommodate some unanticipated legal delays with the launch. This caused some aggregators (mostly shabbily-written ones like Feed Wordpress) to pull the feeds twice. You-know-who ran his mouth about that, but since he was just going to make up some crazy crap as usual in response, I didn't feel like I should correct him in that thread. *shrug* Everyone saw what a nutcase he was, case closed.

Ah, I totally misunderstood you.

This is five updates per week over ALL of the feeds (what I called "across all of the Reality Cash feeds" at the time). So, yes, that means one update per two weeks is perfectly on schedule, over 10 feeds, 5 updates per week. Sorry if that wasn't clear to you in my original post. 10/5 = 2 weeks.

These are RC's specs, per our current contract.

I'm pretty sure you said in another thread that they had expired...I was bummed. I really did want them, but the first ressponse I saw posted was the one I just mentioned..

If they're still available, then yeah...I still do want 'em.

Now that makes more sense and would also explain Jace's response to prod the RealityCash folks.

I think I follow now.

I think once they see the amount of people that are using the feeds and sales potential the feeds have they will bump up the update schedule

In the thread where you won them, I asked you to ICQ me. I also sent a message to the sponsor in your sig looking for you, as well as two ICQ's based on their contact page. They didn't reply with a way to contact you.

If they expired, I don't know what to tell you. Yours was the highest bid on GFY, and I held them for you for a long time. Either way, do you need my PayPal address, or are you withdrawing your bid retroactively, and telling me that the fact they expired is my fault, and I should eat the cost?
