Boosting Income with Affiliate Feeds
Summary
I’m a big fan of my RSS reader. It keeps me updated on all my favorite sites, blogs, and news. This means I’m often one of the first to share exciting updates. Plus, my RSS Reader 1.0 features a doorbell sound that rings for new entries, accompanied by the enthusiastic barks of six dogs!

Using an RSS reader has its perks. For example, I was quick to cover adsenseblacklist.com, a valuable tool for filtering low-quality AdSense ads. Being an early adopter helped my site rank among the top five Google search results for this keyword, driving significant traffic. Keep an eye on your RSS reader!
These days, RSS is also being used for automatic updates on websites and blogs. Initially, it involved automatically adding articles from free sources, supposedly boosting search engine rankings with fresh content, often called "spiderfood." However, this approach can compromise quality. Would you let just any article appear on your site without approval? Quality and trust are hard-earned, and it's unwise to squander that for a few extra search engine hits.
If you need more content, create it yourself. Like Wille Crawford, the renowned Internet marketer, who personally curated articles, including my piece "Chitika - What Went Wrong." I plan to post several handpicked articles soon, but it took sifting through hundreds to find the gems.
Affiliate merchants are now embracing datafeeds, similar to file-based RSS feeds. These provide direct access to product information, including special offers or coupons, which you can upload to your server and display using scripts or tools. Services like CJ, LinkShare, and Shareasale offer datafeeds.
While many are enthusiastic about datafeeds, I’m cautious. It’s crucial to consider your niche, the trust you wish to maintain with your audience, and how technical you want to get. If your niche aligns well with an affiliate program, a product feed might be worth trying. For occasional coupons or offers, manual uploads can suffice.
Some products now convert merchant datafeeds to RSS, enabling auto-display of affiliate program products. This can be beneficial if you maintain relevance across the affiliate line. Otherwise, conversions may suffer, making the effort futile. I prioritize keeping all content, including ads, relevant to my visitors.
There’s always a shortcut, and in this case, it’s about reducing the time spent finding relevant offers. This might suit some sites.

Lastly, I found an interesting perspective while researching:
"Soon, I will let you know how I put this all on autopilot and never have to think about the blog again after setting it up!"
How do you think their blog is doing?
