RSS Syndication and Feed Source Management

One of the ways to load automated content is by using feeds and ‘convert’ your blog into a feed reader. The principle is simple: you add feed sources directly to your blog and publish the content, either as is or after filtering or editing it, epending on the contents and sources.

For this purpose we use the FeedWordpress Plugin.

From your Dashboard go back to Plugins and Activate FeedWordPress:

 

Tune YORGOO Blaster FeedWordPress

Tune YORGOO Blaster FeedWordPress

 

Now you will find a new sub-menu called Syndication Dashboard; follow the link and open Options.

Options are sitewide default settings, these settings can be overwritten for individual feeds.

I will give here basic settingswhich work for about every use you make. Depending on your own needs you may change these settings later to optimize the flow.

Below this author’s field, dont change anything.

As mentionned above: these are default settings and you are flexible thereafter to customize each feed you use.

Save these settings.

Select now Syndication from the sub-menu:

 

Tune YORGOO Blaster Syndication

Tune YORGOO Blaster Syndication

 

 

Enter a feedlink into the relevant field:

Example: http://yconomy.net/feed

Click on Syndicateand you get:

 

Tune YORGOO Blaster Syndication

Tune YORGOO Blaster Syndication

If the result is ok, select this feed by clicking ‘Use this feed’. By default the aggregator will look for RSS2 feeds. Depending on what your source feeds, your aggregator is able to import RSS, RSS2 and Atom.

Once you accept the feed, you are taken back tothe Syndication Pannel where you can update, delete or edit your imported feeds:

Edit now the new Feed Source to define the use you will make of it.

Again, I will just make a suggestion for default dettings wich wor in most of the cases; you will fine tune in function of your particular purpose and of the source.

Save Changes and return to the sub-menu Syndication. There you update the feed now:

Tick the checkbox to the right of the concerned link and select Update Checked Links:

 

Tune YORGOO Blaster Syndicate

Tune YORGOO Blaster Syndicate

 

You get the confirmation that x posts have been imported.

You are done, your Feed will do it’s job without your intervention.

Please read our recommendation about the use of feeds; don’t overdo it!

You may add as many feeds you like, whereas you should make sure that they are contextual with the purpose of your site.

  1. I get to point of validation feed and not able to continue from there. I validated feed but can not continue.

  2. Once you have found a feed (you can click on the validation link or not – does not change anything for you except it may show you how clean the feed is) you must click on the use this feed button. I have made the experience that in some cases that button does not respond, namely when using Internet Explorer.

    Chances are good that the buton works if you use Firefix or Google Chrome. I have made it a habit to edit and work on blogs using Firefox or Google Chrome rather than Internet Explorer.

    Let me know if this works for you as well. Thanks.

  3. Once the Rss feed is working, you then see the posts from the feed also in the ‘Moderatiion Queue’ if I click on Edit then I see settings below the post – how is best to configure these?

  4. In the Moderation Queue just configure Mail Feeds as the RSS feeds are configured under Syndication.

  5. Some affiliate programs offer datafeeds – linked with your affilate id# to the product, this comes in the form of a csv, or xml, comma or piped or tab, zipped or unzipped. How do you add this to your blog. Instruction please.

  6. If they are piped, feed via mail feeder, if they come in other formats, create a feed or copy and paste.

  7. When I went to my golfers blog.
    the side bar was missing on the page
    I scrolled down and it is on the bottom..
    I clicked some of the sites and pages and they were ok???
    can u tell e what if I did something or is it the site??

  8. Richard, most likely your sidebar ads are messing up the sidebar. You can test this by disabling the adsense ads by un ticking the check box on the page where you loaded the ads. If your sidebar shows normally without the ads, then you may want to change the ads code: make sure the ads have all tags closed and if needed, just create a table and load the your ads into a table.

    A sample code could look like this:

    Click HERE

    Where it says ‘your ad code here’ paste the code you are using at present.

    If it’s the DubLi theme, just change the table width from 223 to 300on line 3 above.

  9. I am having loads of problems with the blaster. I feel like a babe in the woods : )
    1. I would like to know if there are other templates besides the YORGOOBlaster or DUBLI, or are those templates mandatory?
    2. I cannot add feeds. For some reason, when I try to add a feed I get up to “use this feed,” when I click the button I get the questions “Are you sure you want to do this?” I click yes and I get a blank page and when I go back the feed is not there.
    3. My top right ad disappeared.
    4. How and where do I add more ads to the blog, there doesn’t seem to be much opportunity to do that (I’m sure I just don’t know the route to use for this. Am I able to ad them in between feeds? If so, how?
    5. Do some affiliate programs have feeds that could be used?
    6. Can I get rid of the default items on the right like the “Free marketing newsletter”? Is there some advantage to this being there?
    7. Where could I look for more in depth information to understand better how to use this, what I’m trying to do and how I can maximize the benefits of using this Blaster.

    Automated Blogs are very new to me, however, if I had a better understanding of what I’m trying to achieve, I could do it. My technical skills are pretty decent and even pretty good when I understand what I am aiming for. I would appreciate help.
    Thank you,
    Cris

  10. Cris here are your answers:
    1. There are a few templates available at present – check the latest version of YB in your members area. However, it’s easy to create your own personalized YB or, just ask YB help to consider loading more themes by indicating what exactly you want.

    2. Feeds: RSS or email. If it’s RSS they work perfectly except may be with some sources where the feed scripts are modified. We are working on a new feed module to fix this problem which has to do with the most recent RSS developments.

    3. Load it again :-); make sure your html code is correct.

    4. You can add ads on top and sidebar and bottom (by using the disclaimer box). But then: don’t look at the home page as searchers will never go there: they go to an article on your blog and there you will then see the top, side and bottom ads.

    5. Yeahhhhhhhhhhh and YAM is full of them: example: walmart, amazon, clickbank, ebay….yorgoopartners…..

    6. You can get rid of everything you want by editing the php files. The news letter: it’s a hook for your free autoresponder from cashflowin.com. By editing sidebar.php you can customize it and drive people to your autoresponder system from cashflowin…yeah that’s just an unexplained extra bonus!

    7. The site at yorgooblaster.com explains it all and for more we do seminars or webmaster trainings like tonight at 8 pm London Tie (GMT) where you can join and submit your problems.

    Finally: Please post url, admin login and FTP access to http://yorgooblaster.com/help and we will look at the problems to fix them for you.

    Hope to see you on the call tonight. Y :-)

    PS: Click on your icon and get a Gravatar, it would be fun to see your face when your YB works to your satisfaction!
