Our New Product feeds & Content Units Technology are live!
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008Over the last 12 months AffiliateFuture have been putting a lot of emphasis on our technology; the new affiliate interface, Veracitag cookieless tracking, the industry leading voucher code manager (with XML) and now the launch of our new product feed system/content units.
So without further ado we are delighted to announce the launch of Xenon; a product and content distribution platform that gives affiliates access to our merchants’ inventory via a Web Service API, datafeeds, content generation tools and a white label product comparison system.
For affiliates, there are three aspects to the new Xenon technology – Data, Content and Search.
XenonData
You can choose to have category or Merchant specific data delivered to you daily via; the Xenon tools, live URL, or FTP. A Web Service API is also available which gives you access to the entire dataset that drives the Xenon system. When pulling off Category feeds you are able to promote all our merchants without having to sign up individually to each one, saving some time and effort and helping fill niche category sites with very little effort.
Xenon Content
Xenon Content units allow you to feature dynamic, relevant content and products on your website. Content is defined via keyword and category settings and is served from a pool of results that is most relevant. All content is tracked and deeplinks directly to merchant websites. It’s also possible to heavily customise the units, changing sizes, background images and many other areas of the look and feel. There will also be a number of merchant and event branded content units available over the next few days.
Xenon Search
Finally Xenon Search allows affiliates to create search boxes or deeplinks that launch Xenon’s customisable product comparison system. Merchant data is constantly updated by our systems and much like our travel search this is extremely easy to customise and put on your website to add some additional functionality in just minutes.
Continuing our march into the retail sector..
The launch of Xenon is the next step forward for our continued march into the retail sector – we’ve launched some great new merchants over the last few months and in the run up to Christmas we’ve got a bunch more lined up and integrating our tracking that we’re sure that you will want to promote.
Next up on the development front is getting the new interface completely sorted along with some further API access to reports, all of which due to be released next month.
If you have any feedback about the new tools please get in touch!
