I’ve been interested in mashups and using them to generate affiliate product lists. Recently I created a simple mashup out of RSS feeds. Now I’ve finally got round to publishing my ebayoutube mashup script for anyone to use. There is also a dynamic product feed courtesy of Affiliate Future. You can see the latest version in action at http://smartphonereview.co.uk
ABOUT:
A simple mashup script based around RSS product feeds.
Generates a keyword-themed website with Youtube Adsense video, Adsense text ads, eBay products, affiliate products, and news feeds from Google and Yahoo. All links to products generate affiliate commissions.
I’m offering the script as a free download to anyone who wants it. Installation is as easy as I could make it. All you have to do is customise a few variables and insert your own adsense code.
(I should point out that the script is keyed to UK products and news only. If you want to gear it to another country it shouldn’t be too hard to edit the RSS feed data and affiliate programmes.)
To get hold of your copy just enter your email address below. Don’t worry - I won’t spam you or try to sell you anything. It’s just away of keeping you informed of script updates and any new scripts I come up with.

If you have any problems (or suggestions) feel free to leave a comment on this post. I’m not offering much in the way of official support, since it’s free, but I’ll do my best to help out.
Note: If you’re not a member of Affiliate Future you can just cut that section out. However, I included it in there to avoid being Google-slapped for duplicate content. By having both the AF and eBay products in there you end up generating ‘new’ content. That’s also why there’s both Google AND Yahoo news feeds. The more content sources you can pull in the better your ranking will be.
UPDATE:
I’ve fixed a bug in the code and added two new features:
1) Auto-tags. Links to other pages in your site are now generated automatically from your visitors’ search queries. This should help with SEO but the list will no doubt need pruning from time to time.
2) Adsense code is now contained within separate files, making it easier to upgrade to a new version of the script without entering your code all over again.
