?using ffa to create xml feed for yahoo site submitpro

Joined: 19 Jan 2006 Posts: 3

We are new to creating xml feeds for yahoo sitesubmit pro and curious if this program allows a way to customize the fields. Please see example:

IDIF stands for Inclusion Data Interchange Format.
IDIF
DOC
CONTENT
PROP
The PROP element supplies document properties to the index. It has one required attribute, name, which specifies the name of the property. The only valid property supported for the name attribute in the Search Submit Pro program is trackurl. The following example illustrates the syntax:

The trackurl property allows the Search Submit Pro partner to provide a URL for monitoring traffic sent by Yahoo!. The search results will display the actual URL, but end users will be directed to the trackurl. The provision of the actual URL allows Yahoo! to associate the correct link popularity information for the tracking URL. This association gives the URL a more accurate relevancy score, which results in more traffic to a given URL.

You could try using the FFA beta release, and use the user-defined namespace to add your own tags to the feed. That should work.

There isn't any new documentation for the beta release. However, you may want to look at the on-line docs for the FeedForAll Mac version. It has already been released with the new features that are making their way into the Windows version. Some of the documentation about extesions will apply directly to the Beta Windows release.
