Simply choose the feeds you'd like to promote, and then subscribe to them in your WordPress Admin area. LinkShare RSS AdMix uses RSS feeds from LinkShare Advertisers to populate your Wordpress blog with deals and other promotional content. You can earn a commission on every sale on an Advertiser site that your blog refers. You can also promote feeds from multiple Advertisers at the same time. IMPORTANT - Please note that you'll need to join the LinkShare Network and be approved into an Advertisers affiliate program in order to display the feed and earn a commission on sales.
