The RSS/XML Syndicator (Aggregator)

The CyberSEO Suite has absolutely unique RSS/XML parsing engine. While most of other popular feed-pulling plugins for WordPress are based on 3rd-party public domain GPL code like huge and slow Magpie RSS and Simplepie RSS libraries, the CyberSEO built-in RSS/XML feed syndicator was written from the scratch by a webmaster for webmasters. That's very important because I was coding it specially for myself trying to implement all the features I need as a webmaster, and to avoid all problems known with other RSS aggregators.

Thus CyberSEO Suite works very fast and it does parse dozens of bad formatted and even invalid RSS feeds that no one other aggregator will accept. Furthermore the CyberSEO Suite is able to syndicate RSS feeds that are intended for TGP engines but not for blogs, and it even able to syndicate XML feeds intended for TUBE SITES - I will explain how to make a full-featured / auto-updating WP-powered tube sites with CyberSEO Suite in one of my future "Tips and Tricks" posts here.

Now lets take a look on the built-in RSS syndicator in action and try to syndicate some RSS feed from KinkyDollars.com. As you may know, Kinks have good RSS feeds with rich descriptions, big thumbnails and quality video samples. However there is a little problem with them... All these cool thumbnails and video samples are stored as so-called "media content" attachments in Atom format, so you won't be able to syndicate these RSS feeds into your WordPress blogs using any feed-pulling plugin other than CyberSEO Suite.

Here is how this can be done. First of all go to CyberSEO Suite -> RSS Feed Syndicator options menu, add some RSS feed (e.g. http://www.kinkydollars.com/rss-beta...ogram=revshare) and click the "Syndcate" button.

You'll see a preview of the first post in the syndicating feed including all the thumbnails. Choose the necessary parameters like a desired WordPress category; add some tags (e.g. "device bondage,fuck machines,bdsm"); duplicate check method ("GUID only" is recommended); feed update period etc.

Now take a look at the "Insert Media Attachments" option. This is what we need to change in order to include the thumbnails and video samples into our blog posts. Choose "Insert attachments at the top of a post" or "Insert attachments at the bottom of a post".

TIP: wait before to click the "Syndicate This Feed" button! Why? Just because there will be no link with your affiliate code in that post since it's also not included into the text description of the syndicating feed (remember, it's an Atom feed which was created for TGP engines but not for blogs).

There are many ways to include your affiliate link into the aggregating post, and I show you a few of them someday, but now let's learn the simplest one. Yes, I'm talking about the "Post Headers" and "Post Headers" fields where you can put any random HTML code which will be added at the top and/or bottom of the aggregated post.

Let's place there (I prefer to do it in the "Post Headers" field) a few random banners with your affiliate code. For example:

Quote:
<p align="center"><a href="http://aff.devicebondage.com/track/MYCODE,17/"><img src="http://cybernetentertainment.com/2257/banners/DB/5999_DB_420x150.jpg"><br><b>Click here to enter the site!</b></a></p>
####more####
<p align="center"><a href="http://aff.devicebondage.com/track/MYCODE,17/"><img src="http://cybernetentertainment.com/2257/banners/DB/4186-a-db_300x200.gif"><br><b>Click here to enter the site!</b></a></p>
####more####
<p align="center"><a href="http://aff.devicebondage.com/track/MYCODE,17/"><img src="http://cybernetentertainment.com/2257/banners/DB/4524_468x80_a.gif"><br><b>Click here to enter the site!</b></a></p>

<p align="center"><a href="http://aff.devicebondage.com/track/MYCODE,17/"><img src="http://cybernetentertainment.com/2257/banners/DB/4800_4847_468x80.jpg"><br><b>Click here to enter the site!</b></a></p>
As you can see, there are 4 various banners for DeviceBondage.com linked to the appropriate site with your affiliate code. The marker "####more####" notifies the CyberSEO Suite that there are few different versions of text (HTML code) and only one of them must be randomly included into the aggregated post.

Now it's really time to click "Syndicate This Feed" ...and voilą, you have syndicated the Atom FHG feed for DeviceBondage.com into your blog. Give it a time to pull some posts to see how they look and leave your blog alone making money for you! ;)

Here is an example of blog which is feeding from the KilkyDolars' RSS feeds: http://truebondage.rbbloggers.com/


Have a nice day
