Im having a bit of trouble with one of my sites.

I have the usual affilistore up and running with a affiliate window feed plugged into it.

The feed is exported with Plasma/LCD TVs inside of it (This is as far as you could drill down on affiliate window)

The problem is I only want the site to display the HD TVs.

Affilistore will allow filter keywords, but it takes them both and looks for any of them in the database. For example Samsung, HD as the filter keywords will look for items with Samsung OR HD inside them. Not Samsung AND HD :mad:

What are my best options? Could I sort the feed in Excel first before upload(how)? Am I missing a filter on Affiliate Window to do this before download??

Any help appreciated!

Did it through Excel. If anyone would like to know how here is the macro!

Sub DeleteNoString()

Dim roe As Long, c As Long, r As Long, i As Long

c = 1 'Change to your Column number
r = 1 'Change to start search at Row number = your row number

roe = Cells(65536, c).End(xlUp).Row

For i = 1 To roe
Cells(r, c).Select

'Change YOURSTRING to your string (keep the "")

If InStr(Cells(r, c), "YOURSTRING") Then
r = r + 1
Goto phred
Else
Cells(r, c).EntireRow.Delete
End If
phred:
Next
End Sub
 
Looks good. How do you get on with Affilistore? I've used it a few times before, but never looked into it seriously. Is it worth using it on my parked domains?
 
i used it on comparisonsite.co.uk and had over 90 products from over 32 merchants lol

got too big and time consuming and complicated so stopped it but its awesome
 
I think there's plenty of things that good be done to improve affilistore, filtering being one of them.

I end up filtering in excel before upload.

Does anyone know if you can get affiliatewindow data feeds *without* compression? If so, we might be able to make use of Yahoo Pipes
 
Just curious - I've started up my 1st Affilistore site tonight, wondering if you've had any decent comission from your site since it started running? (feel free to pm)
Thanks!
