Are you old enough to remember the days of boring and complex spreadsheets ? Row after after row of endless fields with numbers and codes that don’t seem to mean a thing ….. Oh how we have evolved since then !

Believe it or not, but not much has changed since the age of black and white tables filled with data. Sure, the looks have improved on the front-end but deep inside almost every shopping page, every weather channel, every travel website and every content site runs on datafeeds. You may call them productfeeds, RSS feeds, XML data or whatever other name you can come up with, but the essence remains the same. Without a constant stream of date all these sites would grind to a halt or become seriously outdated in a matter of days.

If you control the feed you control the market, and at portaljumper.com we’re all about showing you how to convert, manipulate, create or rebuild this data so it becomes a powerful tool for you to generate more traffic, more income, or more content.

Lesson 1: (the only lesson) – Don’t use datafeeds !

That’s right … we’re telling you not to use them !

Why ? you may ask …… Well …. because everyone else already uses them too ! While datafeeds are a great tool to transport information and display data, it is usually also less than unique, and as we all know, in order to be successful on the internet, you want to offer unique content. We highly discourage you to use content datafeeds the way they are presented to you. The data first has to be molded, shifted, polished, converted, scrambled, combined, separated and re-categorized just to name a few. Use good tools to provide constant streams of uniquely combined content, narrow your focus and keep your success formula to yourself.

While you do that, we will throw our trade secrets on the table, we’ll show you how to work the feeds, we’ll provide you with all our tools and we’ll show you how to get 90% done in 5 % of the time. It’s in the last 10 % where you are going to be different and where you are going to create your own corner of the market.

Merely as a little motivator we will close for now with 2 example sites that we built as test-cases for our users. Keep in mind that both of these sites use the same datafeeds at their core, yet they are completely different and unique in every aspect simply because we manipulated the datafeeds.
