Hi All -

I am designing a niche coupon site right now and have come across a few problems:

Originally I was going to bite off other free coupon RSS feeds... However, I am finding many coup sites that I would bite off are biting of another coup feed. Essentially, I don't want to be sending other coup sites/feeds my traffic, confusing the user and as a result losing the user completely.

Ideally I would like to pull from a coupon RSS feed, but when the user clicks on the link in my webpage it doesn't go to the feed source, but rather brings the user to the advertiser page. In theory, it would crawl the code for the advert link and direct the user there.

Anything like this exist? I've been told no, but if anyone would know it would be you folks.

Thanks!
 


you should try sourcing coupon offer feeds instead of scraping other's sites.

if you can't/won't do that, yes you can scrape and follow until you get to the offers, but that seems pretty janky to me
 
Sourcing would be nice, but this is to be a very simple operation, requiring little maintenance.

Has anyone every used For Me To Coupon? If so, do you know whether their feed links direct to the advert once integrated into your site. In other words, once I set up the feed will the user have to pass through for me to coupon site before reaching the advert?

Thanks!
