Affiliate marketers know that their commission earnings increase in proportion to the amount of products that they can advertise and promote on their sites. This is common sense you might think and it only works if the product information is both up to date and accurate. Also, the management and administration of the product list on the site increases proportionally so what is needed is a tool that enables the webmaster to manage multiple datafeeds from several networks.

If you have several sites and an increasing number of datafeeds to manage then you need a tool that will save you both time and effort. This is the position I found myself in having spent many hours manually downloading feeds from various affiliate networks and then uploading each one by hand. Even with the use of cron jobs and PHP scripts the process required the creation of of text files which then had to be edited and amended with every change to the merchants within each network.

The solution I'm now using is datafeedr. Datafeedr is a tool that takes all the hard work out downloading datafeeds from various affiliate networks. This tool enables me to update several sites with product information from merchants in each of the networks with which I'm registered.

The process is as follows; I log in to my account in the datafeedr website and this gives me access to the admin area for each of the five sites on which my licence entitles me to use the service. Within this area I create a directory structure for products and then populate this structure with products from all kinds of merchants in all the various networks.

With tens of thousands of products available some kind of filtering is necessary in order to categorise them in manageable numbers. To do this there are tags added by each merchant which can be used to cut down the results and make them more accurate for the designated categories. In this way it's possible to build an ecommerce online store either on a new site or in an existing blog.

Datafeedr is easy to use and and quick to set up. The responses to support requests are quick, efficient and friendly. If you found this blog post while searching from a datafeedr review then rest assured that it's worth the very reasonable price for the amount of time its saves you and the flexibility it gives you in managing datafeeds.
