That sounds great! I’ve been testing solutions for the past month or so and have already gotten burned by a couple of so called coupon affiliate datafeed providers.

It’s not that I’m a total newbie, I’ve been doing business online for years, but this space is mysterious and we are more marketers and promoters rather than technical people. Most of the out there solutions are either incomplete or not intended for the the coupon space, but rather the “deal” space.

It would be nice to be able to simply offer coupons to our visitors for topics related to our content and not take the “fire-hose” approach. Goldencan and datafeedr are ok, but they give you EVERYTHING and you cant just grab coupons.

In addition, many existing offerings for coupon affiliates want to charge a reoccurring monthly fee (as much as $1500/mo!) just to keep the data feed current! A process that once set up can be easily automated and run on your own server nightly/weekly and easily displayed in common CMS platforms such wordpress, joomla, and drupal.

You tell me how we can do this and you’ll be my hero Geno! I honestly feel that it doesn’t exist…yet. (Hey there’s an idea for a product!)

Denny,

This is a very good question. In fact, I will save the answer for a later day (a couple days from now), and promise to put together a post on software/tools options for coupon affiliates to use. How does this sound?

Hey Geno, nice list! What’s the best type of software to use to create a coupon affiliate site like your buddy in example #2?

Thanks.

Thanks, Dan. Yes, do try the other ways of marketing too. Synergies (the more unique, the better) work especially well.

Great examples Geno, I didn’t know of any of the sites you mentioned above. I’ve only tried one of the above mentioned examples, the content based blog. So far it’s worked out well although I’m eager to try the others.

Thanks!
