Hey Cheapy,

I sent a guy from IGN over here.
He is starting his own store, and he offered to hook IGN members up. I told him to see if you'd allow him to advertise here, affiliate or not, I wasn't certain.

Anyways,.. he's Canadian, so he may have some more obscure prices, and what not.

We actually don't accept advertising (other than Google ads), but thanks for thinking of CAG!

Oh,... sorry.

I know Video Game Deals works with you,.. so I figured......................WRONG.

Sorry Cheapy.

Hmm, wonder if the fiance would get mad if I put a CAG banner on the wedding website

That's pretty cool Cheapy.

Do I need to get my website approved, or can I just add the banner and start helping out?

Cool buttons...how about a 88x31 though??? That's a popular size for webmasters.

How do I add the RSS feed to my site?

What happened to the vgpub link?

I am still curious about how to do this

I have a question about the Cheap Ass Gamer RSS feed.


Quite a while ago, I added this feed to my MSN home page via their "Add Content" resource. On MSN, this works by typing keywords in their Search Box, and using the results that are returned to add a Module to my Home Page (in other words, I am not given the option to directly "Add Code" to my page, and MSN pulls this information from some sort of a syndicated feed database).

Well, as I write this post, the results returned in my Cheap Ass Gamer feed are 48 days old, showing the "most recent" article as, "Buy 2, Get 1 Free at Amazon". Even when I "Refresh" the module, the content doesn't get any more recent. Thinking that this might be an issue with my personal page, I used the "Add Content" button to see what a current preview of CAG would look like, and it looks the same (in other words, it is the same age as the module currently on my page).

Is there any chance that this is an issue with the actual feed as supplied by the site? Any assistance you can provide would be most appreciated.

Thanks, I'll look into the RSS feed issue.

You know, I hate to be a pest, but... I notice that the RSS feed for CAG on my MSN home page is now listed as 69 days old. It's a shame, because if I don't check CAG every day... Well, let's just say that I missed out on the TRU $10 game announcement, which would have been nice to know about before I visited tonight.

I really hope that this problem with a non-updating feed can be fixed. Thanks again for any help you folks can provide.

They have a bum RSS feed. I tried submitting a new one, but who knows if that will work.
Beyond that, I don't think there is much I can do, since I can't tell what feed they are using.

This is the one I just submitted: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/index.xml
