As always, we are out banging the Internet drum looking for more ways to augment our services. With the delivery of our RSS feeds we have made it possible for every owner interested in selling or renting their timeshare to fully capitalize on the Internet's proliferation.
Look what we did with our feed for our
premium timeshare listings!!!! It took less than a minute to add this to their service, and each premium listing is now updated on their site as well.
Do you really want to help promote your ad? As a sale by owner website, we can make this information available to you, but we need your help! Here's all you have to do to get the resort you are advertising listed on FeedBurner's website.
1. Locate either the
timeshare reviews web page for your resort AND/OR the web page that has the information about your
timeshare for sale or rent. Use the quick search tools on the page to locate your resort in the drop down list.
2. On either of the pages you browse to, you will find an orange button labeled (RSS or XML) example:
.
3. Click on this button. It will take you to a weird looking page with strange coding in it. Don't worry about the page, what you want is the URL from the address bar in your browser window. Highlight the entire string in the address bar, right click, and copy.
4. Go to the
FeedBurner website. At the top of the screen you'll see the spot you want to "Paste" the link you just copied into. Paste the link by right clicking in the entry field and select paste.
6. Now click the next button. You are required to set up a username and password on their website, but you don't have to use it per say, it's just a required step and can completed on the next page.
7. Once you've chosen your username and password, you can submit the feed to their service.
That's it. It may seem daunting, but give it a try. Your best bet is to use the feed from your classified ads resort page since it will contain a direct link to your ad, but either will suffice. And if you're really motiviated, submit both the review page and the classifieds page. The more feeds, the better!!!
Good luck, and let us know how you make out or if you have any questions.
