Sponsors providing RSS feeds...INSIDE PLEASE NOW!
 

Using the title of the post in the feed as the link does not count

meaning, if you have an rss feed with a full blog post, but the only thing linking to the site is the title of the blog post, then your feed is ALL BUT WORTHLESS

when most rss parsers import the feed into wordpress or whatever, it will take the title of the post and make it the permalink, like this
http://www.cockhuggers.com/index.php...ensed-to-blow/

see how the title of the blog post is ALSO part of the url? THAT is a permalink, and that is what your post title gets turned into with wordpress

Permalinks are yummy. That's forsure. I see tons of big blogs that don't take advantage of them.

Bump for ya.

My favorite are the sponsors who have links such as "/pictures/index.php?idx=32423"

Which translates to diddly squat when it's displayed on my domain.

you might try looking for such at my http://www.sponsorhostedfeeds.com
site, you can quickly preview few of the feeds for each sponsor, exactly as blogs read the feeds, so you might find some suitable to your needs...

bump bump. hey Jace have you checked out www.sponsorhostedfeeds.com? thats the first time i have seen it posted, right above my post.

Camspot has NICE blog feeds. Check them out and hit me up if you need anything. Some sample promo tools are here.

i think you totally missed the topic of this thread. :error

come on people, I am not asking for you to spam your programs or services, i am sending out a message to program owners to do their shit right

Jace, you didnt answer my question above? :upsidedow


edit: sorry i am a bit toasted tonight. i shouldnt have spammed his board twice. errrrrrrrrr

Thanks, Jace, that's something I recognized several times as well.

I can't really understand why some sponsors offer rss feeds declared as "ready to import in your blog" if they are broken or useless. Yes, feeds are hyped and are totally overrated, but if you offer them, make them usable, please.

Creating a proper feed is no rocket science, rewriting it to make it work properly is not difficult as well, but I doubt many affiliates do it or know how to do it.

You don't need a programmer, running your own server is much more complicated than creating a proper feed, there a loads of free tutorials sites that teach you how to do it in a matter of hours.

sponsors please fix your RSS feeds! :thumbsup

answer what question? if I have used that site? yes, I have

also if they have nice big pics, make sure they are fuckin linked to the join page or something..

nubiles feeds are great but i always have to manually link the pics to the tour pages :2 cents:

jace you are the RSS god brotha !

oh, misunderstood you then, sorry..

yeah, count me in too in your appeal to sponsors to bring in more quality in their feeds :)

bump for good rssfeeds

is it ok to have tons of link to outside in your blog posts? it won't affect your SE? thinking of this as well.. i think if im a surfer i would definately click on the pics first before the text links.. much easier.

Jace got a list of sponsors with good feeds?

check us out.

yes I do

why would I do that? If you didn't give me the courtesy of reading my post, why should I give you the courtesy of checking your program out?

This might not be the right place, but I will throw it out there... Suggestions please

Since this thread is about getting things right, and you asked: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht....com%2Fblog%2F

The next time you have a blog designed, get it done table-free. It makes no sense to start with a platform which offers valid CSS and load it up with poor code.

Tableless is in the next revision actually. Thanks so much for the input though. I appreciate it.

Failed validation, 138 errors

wowzer

What?! Off which validator?

Looks validated here

Jace, that is for the xhtml validation of the main index page, NOT the Rss validation.

The Rss validates fine.

Rss Validation

hey jace can you shoot me that list of good rss feeds pretty please :winkwink:

I second this one. As it is I'm going to have to write a pre-parser and run it through it.

Jace is right this stuff is not rocket science, it just takes a bit of work and some good planning to put out feeds that are worth using and that are in the proper format. It just seems that most of the sponsors are just putting out feeds to say they have RSS, instead of understanding how RSS works and how people want to use the feeds.

Jace i think its time to start doing some tutorials on the proper use of rss feeds and how to make them work for you. I know were willing to try and teach people the true power of RSS.

That being said, checkout our feeds, RSS done the proper way since day 1, and they are even Jace approved

bump for Jacedizzle

We just released our RSS feed here it is in blog format www.homecamnetwork.com

I would love any suggestions on how to make it better. I have ran it through the feed validator and it came back good. What do you think?

don't worry, it is on the to do list.....problem is that to do list is SO freaking long

yoooooooooo email me that list of good rss sponsors yooooooo

i want that list too jace :P

I really like your site and might be buying something from you.

One note though... When i open it with IE 7.0 I get a yellow warnig bar above your site wanting me to install some XML stuff.

What is that about?

will quote my post no one wants to answer? :P

:1orglaugh I hate that.

a good blog post writer is a good thing to have as well :)
