Attention all sponsors offering rss blog feeds
 

A. If you do not offer an image, most will not use you.
B. If you do not offer an image of decent size, most will not use you.
C. If you do not offer decent descriptions in each post, most will not use you.

So what do us rss feed users look for? What makes us rss feed users pick one sponsor over another?

A. Large nice images.
B. Good descriptions using proper seo practices such as using Bolding for phrases you want to get searches on.
C. Regular updates, daily or at least twice weekly.


Now Im not bitching, and I really appreciate when sponsors go out of their way to offer more options to affiliates, and to make it easier for us to advertise for you, but there is nothing more annoying then signing up for a program due to them having rss feeds and to find a 80x80 image that is used for their feeds.

Most blog webmasters use 400x400 or even larger images in their own posts they make. So to put up a feed with a 80x80 image makes it purty obvious that, that post is not their own. So this post isnt so much a bitch, as it is an inside look into what I, and most other blog users Ive talked to, prefer when looking for new sponsors.

If you want more sign ups from webmasters using rss feeds try and implement those few tips. Thanks again for all you do for your affiliates. :thumbsup

Damn you business thread. lol :1orglaugh

i rather have my own unique content, but thats just me, people dont want 10 blogs with same shit

I do both. But when running multible blogs its nice to have stuff auto update also. With alot of my sponsors I have no choice but to do my own updates, but we all know search engines love daily updates. :winkwink:

good points! :thumbsup

Probably a bad day to post this, Ill bump it on monday :winkwink:

This will be an interesting thread, Im all for gallery RSS feeds but I too would like to see some fuller feeds, alot could be done to manipulate a fuller feed(such as with Autoblogger etc) to make it unique enough with alot less work than complete original posts.

The shame is most sponsors only need to make a few changes to get things just right. Ive dealt with a few directly and helped them to know what makes for better feeds for affiliates.

Hit me up I am getting ready to set up some RSS feeds I would like to hear exactly what you want from them.

what's in it for the sponsors?
how many joins a day do you guys push to the sponsor who will do all this for you?
not promises, real numbers.
