Support for Shopzilla Placement IDs (Shopzilla's version of SUBID)

nospam@example.com (Andrew) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 04:45:19 -0500

Dear Everyone,

DFF now support additional tracking variable (Placement ID) support for Shopzilla Publisher Program.

Shopzilla's implementation of additional tracking is a bit different than the affiliate networks and it is not as flexible. You have to SET Shopzilla Placement IDs from your Shopzilla Publisher Account and use those by appending &subid=<> behind your DFF clickthrough URL or in the calling URL when getting content from DFF.

For more information about Shopzilla's Placement ID support on DFF please read the WIKI document above DFF SUBID support. Shopzilla special circumstances are located towards the end of the wiki document.

Upcoming WordPress Plugins

nospam@example.com (Andrew) — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 17:58:28 -0500

1. Products Showcase: Allows affiliates to show multiple products in a grid / list layout format. The Showcase Plugin was designed to fill a large amount of space on a web page and display an attractive selection of products with images, a brief title, the number of stores selling each product and the lowest price.

2. Price Comparison: The full Price Comparison WordPress Plugin will contain almost all the different shopping tools available on DFF. Using this Price Comparison plugin, an affiliate would be able to create a fully featured price comparison shopping site using WordPress. This plugin adds functionality to your blog and we still highly encourage all affiliates to blog and add their own unique content as added value instead of just deploying general price comparison web sites.

Price Comparison in your WordPress blog!

DFF's first version of the Featured Products WordPress Plugin is now available! With this plugin you (affiliate / blogger) can easily insert a product into your WordPress Post or Page. This plugin is very easy to use; it will add a DFF button right on the Post / Page editor toolbar which will automatically insert a WordPress shortcode within your Post and show the product in the middle of your blog.

The Featured Products WordPress Plugin will generate search engine indexable HTML code (not javascript) which means the content will be SEO friendly. The plugin delivers the product image, title, description (optional), list of stores selling the product (number of stores is adjustable) with affiliate trackable links.

WordPress plug-in

nospam@example.com (Andrew) — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 08:14:08 -0500

DataFeedFile is proud to announce our first ever WordPress plug-in! We plan to unveil this beauty some time next week.

What will it do, you ask? It will allow you to put a product feed in the middle of your blog. That way, you can display products in the middle of your content. If you’re an expert on a product, or just simply want to discuss a product, this plug-in is for you.

Think of it as a Google ad, but instead of text or banners and pennies on the click, you get the product image, price comparison, and commission on sales!
Please check our blog, or follow us on Twitter for more frequent updates, and be the first to know when we roll out our WordPress plug-in!

DFF Hosting coming soon

nospam@example.com (Andrew) — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 11:09:30 -0500

Providing a web hosting service was an idea given by one of our successful affiliate.

He would like to have faster access and reduced latency to get HTML content and/or query DFF' web services.
He said "speed is a big factor when it comes to shopping online, if a page takes more than 30 seconds, the shopper is clicking out...".

The added benefit of DFF providing your web site hosting is so that your website's request to DFF database servers will NOT have to travel through the internet. Your web site will request and receive data from DFF servers within <3ms latency usually.

Being that the DFF hosting server will be within our internal network, larger data and search results (which are possible when using XML / JSON) are much faster on our Gigabit network.

We are still testing but would like to get the word out to our affiliates about this upcoming service which will be available by May 1, 2009.

Many Thanks...
