With a new "browser friendly" version of your resort feed ready, post an entry in any timeshare forum; it doesn't have to be timeshare-gateway.com. You can use tstips.com, timeshareforums.com, TUG, or any other (or more if you know of them). In the post, insert a link to the new feed. Since it is being converted into web readable format, the search engines that visit each forum will also reach this site and index the links to your ad. It may seem like an indirect approach, but the search engines don't stop at a site. If a link takes them to a working readable site, they will go there.
Here's an example of a link to the feed I added today for this forum.
Visit our
timeshare forum. The actual link looks like
http://feeds.feedburner.com/Timeshar...hareUsersGroup in the properties, but I simply typed the text, clicked on the "Insert Link" button (it looks like a blue and green circle in the editor when you are posting) and pasted the url to the link from FeedBurner. This last step is the most critical since this is what will send the search engines to their site to read your ad. Get it?!
Here's one last example using an actual resort feed from our classified ads website.
I just posted an ad to sell or rent Galleon Bay Club! Check out my ad feed. I also checked the "B" for bold when I had the text I wanted to make my link so it would stand out a little more in my post.
You shouldn't be violating any rules of any forum since all you are doing is promoting your own interest (your resort), if a forum has a problem with a link to a RSS feed, they are beeing way too particular. In fact, there's nothing secret about this technology. We've simply taken the necessary steps to make it available to you should you choose. If the forum doesn't want to let you post your links to your ad (or ad feeds), then they are restricting your use of the forum unreasonbly. As a minimum you can count on TimeshareGateway to allow your posts.
