How To Use Bidtraffic XML Feed ?

How To Use Bidtraffic XML Feed ?

In this post i am going to show you how you can use the XML feed(light feed) located in the toolbox of your bidtraffic publisher account.
XML feed light feed is used to put ads on your own domain name so later you will be able to place  your own link somewhere for redirecting users to it.
Below is the step by step tutorial for installing XML feed(light feed) on your own domain name,you can also find these details in your publisher account but for your more convenience i am writing them here too.
1. Download the zip file with the feed using the following link.
(Note:Other feed versions with different   designs are also available
overthere you can choose them too according to your needs)
2. Unzip the archive and upload its contents to your website via
ftp(i recommend you to use Filezilla) (in binary mode without
transmitting file names into low register).
3. Go to the link "http://yourdomain/folder_with_feed/setup/"
in your browser to the feed’s installation page.
Customize the following parameters (or leave the settings
as the default if parameter is not mandatory).
The only mandatory parameter is "ID on BidTraffic"

."BidTraffic ID" – your ID in the system (your publisher account ID )
."Subaccount as default" - default subaccount that will receive traffic.
Allowed symbols: "a-Z", "0-9", "-" from 1 to 24 symbols in length.
."Number of displayed results" - number of ads that will be displayed in feed.
."XML protection code" - it should be indicated in the case if the option
"Use XML security" is turned on in profile.
(put your XML protection code if you want to ).
."Use website thumbs" - after turning this option on,
the websites’ previews will be displayed near the ads that promote these websites.
."Show thematic ads" - after enabling this option the
thematic images will be displayed near the ads.
."Show URLs of ads" - after enabling this option URLs of ads will be displayed.
."Show bids" - after enabling this option CPC of ad will be displayed near ad URL.
."Show Related Searches" - after enabling it column with Related Searches,
it will be displayed on the feed.

."Show Recent Searches" - after enabling it column with Recent Searches
will be displayed on the feed.
."Bold the searched keyword in the results" - after enabling it,
a searched keyword will be dis[layed in bold type in the headers
and descriptions of the ads.
."Display 'Insert keyword' line" - after enabling this option, the "insert keyword"
line will be displayed on the feed.
."Receive and combine results several times simultaneously,
generating the best results" - by enabling this option the
results will be requested simultaneously several times and
then the best results will be generated.
."Use additional anti-bot protection" - after enabling this option,
all clicks will go through the javascript redirect that will sift out some of the bots.
."Use protection from cashed Expired Clicks" -
this option enables protection from expired clicks.
Particularly it will help you to get rid of expired clicks that come from the
cached links in the search engines.
."Use protection from Invalid clicks" - after enabling this option a check-up
begins that gets rid of the invalid clicks in the statistics for you.
."Filter known sub-networks and IPs of search bots" - filtered clicks
directed to Rejected URL. Information about IPs of bots were
taken from the website ***http://iplists.com/***.
."Filter user-agents, that contain words bot, robo, spider,
spyder, crawl, validator" - filtered clicks are directed to Rejected URL.

."Feed design" - choosing of feed design (template). If you would like
to change the design of the selected template – edit file templates
/template_name/template.php, pictures for chosen template you can
find in the directory templates/template_name/images/, styles in the directory
templates/template_name/css/

4. After indicating all parameters generate new configuration file
(click on button "Generate config.php").
5. You SHOULD remove or relocate folder "setup"
(so no one will be able to replace your ID with his on your feed).
6. XML feed is ready to use. Send your traffic to the search page of feed
"http://yourdomain/folder_with_feed/search.php?q=keyword"
As you can see installing the XML feed(lightfeed) on your own domain
is really simple.If you are facing any kind of error in installing the XML feed
(lightfeed) then contact support by opening the
new ticket.
