Europe Day with Shopzilla’s EU Affiliate Programs

Tuesday, May 11th, 2010

Last Sunday was Europe Day, an annual celebration of European unity. What better time to tell you then about our EU affiliate programs through which you can both optimise and monetise your website.

Shopzilla now has three affiliate programs to offer you here in Europe:

  • Le programme d’affiliation Publisher de Shopzilla - our French affiliate program was introduced in October 2009, and is open to all websites* targeted at francophone visitors that wish to integrate content-related advertising. The application is just as simple as the UK program’s. If you do not speak French but own a website(s) in French, please speak to one of the Publisher Team who will be happy to help you out.
  • Publisher Partnerprogramm - our German program which was also launched at the same time as the French version.  This also offers the same great shopping banners and assets as the other two. Again, for any help in applying please contact our team on publisher [at] shopzilla.com.

It is worth noting that we pay on a CPC based model for all three programs and offer Publishers the chance to seamlessly integrate shopping content. Adding Shopzilla content is a great SEO tool as it builds on your offers and allows Google to index all that extra content.

Have a look for yourself and celebrate being part of Europe by joining today.

*sites will need to be approved before being able to access Shopzilla affiliate content.

Shopzilla FTP Data Feeds

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Add a shopping element to your website with the Shopzilla FTP Data Feeds

Build on or add your own price comparison element to your website

The Shopzilla team is proud to offer you FTP Data Feeds as part of our Publisher Program. This allows Publishers to build on or add their own price comparison section on their site.

About the Data Feeds

We allow you to download BizRate’s entire inventory of merchant product offers from one FTP location, comprised of approximately 1,000 individual product offer files in XML format and which is updated daily to provide the latest product offers.

It sounds easy but in order to be able to successfully integrate this product you will need to have the technological capabilities as well as the time necessary to make full use of the advantages this data feed can provide. It can be time-consuming but for those will the right resources, it is well worth the effort.

Advantages to the Shopzilla FTP-data feeds

- access to shopping content and ability to create the design of your choice at the same time.  Create your own shopping elements using XML and set up your own online shopping section on your website.

- affiliates can download either the entire BizRate inventory or specific categories of interest, thus millions of product offers can be used and displayed.

- flexibility in what and how you display - we enable you to pick and choose the information you wish to display on your site. Whether this be the merchant logo, delivery information, price or product description etc, you have the freedom to choose and to adapt it to your site.

About the API:

For those looking to add a price comparison element but who may prefer an API integration, we are looking at introducing our Catalogue API early next quarter so it would be perhaps best to wait those few extra months.

In the meantime, however,  start earning from today by implementing our large 600×600 dynamic asset pods which will add that comparison factor to your website. Your earnings will rollover each month and keep adding up until the Catalogue API is launched so you’ll never lose out. It will give you some extra pennies in the run up to its introduction on the UK market.

The great thing about the API is that it will enable you to dynamically retrieve product results from the BizRate catalogue which means no manual updating. Once installed, you can sit back and relax as the data is called automatically. The current feed product requires you as the Publisher to update your site in sync with Shopzilla’s daily updates - product offers may change, therefore it requires particular attention and time if you really wish to benefit from it.
