Yes, I should have been more clear. I didn't mean they should kill the existing TGP-only RSS feeds they have, but they need to add feeds useful to bloggers in addition to those.

Seriously...I mean, it is 2010 now, and affiliates have been using blogs to promote paysites for some years now. Sponsors who still don't offer good RSS feeds for bloggers are signaling that they can't keep up with needed tools.

And please, if you do get RSS feeds for bloggers created, don't ruin them by using any of the crappy morping tools out there. Just need well-written posts that make total sense to a horny surfer and help him decide to spend money, not posts morphed into uselessness in some idiotic attempt to fool search engines into thinking they're not duplicate content.

Okay... that was clearer.
