Attention Sponsors: Your RSS and XML feeds are not compatible!
Numerous sponsors don't even have RSS feeds and hosted FLVs. Then, there are some with RSS and XML feeds that don't even work. I could be the only one having this problem. Maybe I am just ignorant and can't get them to work correctly.
My main use for RSS feeds is Wordpress (IT'S FREE). There is an plugin called FeedWordPress that will allow you to use an RSS feed to automatically update your page with content whenever the source is updated. Amazing!
My main use for XML feeds is NTS (IT'S FREE). Nubiles tube script has an option to autoupdate from XML feeds to automatically add content whenever the source is updated. Amazing!
I'll pick a random sponsor that I'm trying to promote, although there are problems with many. Let's go with WTFBucks for example. Although their RSS and XML feeds will actually process, I've run into a couple problems.
The RSS output doesn't integrate the content into the site/blog at all. I assume there is a way to reformat the content, but as default settings it looks like a list you see in the affiliate admin area.
The XML import works fine until you try to view one of the videos on your tube site. The video won't play. If you directly to the flv in your browser you will see the video play... with it's own embedded player instead of trying to download a file. This could be the problem here.
In conclusion, I would like to see more sponsor feeds compatible with the above two scripts... Wordpress and NTS.
Thank you.
