please, I want to use XML feeds!!

[chbartel]

Okay, I never thought this would become so hard to find or do.

I have several different hosting providers for several websites I own. None of them support XML data feeds so I can "push" my listings automatically to tulia.com and zillow.com

Is there an easy way to implement this, an easy program I can use that will generate the code and post on a website I host that tulia.com and zillow.com can pull from?

Or is there someone out there that specializes in this?

Thanks!

As I know, there are hosts which give you those kind of services. You have to add some scripts for that - that's how i know. On trulia.com ou have to build a xml feed with their format, but i know that after you submit it they don't answer back if you have any mistakes on it. You just have to wait 1-2 weeks and if your listings don't show up, you have to make changes on it and re-submit it. On zillow.com - just my two cents on it

That's what I need, an automated system to create the xml feed, frankly, I don't' have time to program any more, I just do the marketing side..

Craig-
I've heard this question quite a few times. So many times, in fact, that I wrote a blog post addressing it. I listed a couple companies in the post that you can turn to. The quickest option might just be to use Postlets or vFlyer -- they will syndicate your listings to numerous free listings sites (trulia and zillow among them).

Hope this helps.

You could also send your listings to google base - it looks like they use google base in google's searches ... so if you have your listings in google base, chances are they'll show up higher in google as well - just my two cents on it
