Affiliates with lots of traffic are looking for your promotional video clips to add to their tube sites.
We recommend that sponsors create dump/export tools for affiliates to easily import the videos into their tube site database. Many sponsor programs are already providing hundreds (a few have thousands) of videos along with dump/export files. Hats off to those sponsors, but there are still many programs behind on this. If you're looking for a good example of this, PimpRoll has the best export tool I've seen thus far.
A list of sponsors providing hosted tube content can be found here (http://www.tubeace.com/nav/sponsors/). If your program is not on this list please contact me and I will add you.
For the dump/export files we recommend the following fields to be included for easy importing:
Title - title of video.
Description - description of video. At least one full grammatically-correct sentence is recommended.
Video URL / Embed Code - URL of flv, wmv or mpg video file.
Thumb URL - URL of thumbnail (screenshot). Full size images are acceptable since Tube Ace owners can resize the thumbs and save to their server.
Duration - Running time (in seconds) of video.
Performers - names of performers appearing in the video (separated by comma).
Tags - tags or keywords pertaining to the video (separated by comma).
Join URL - URL (with affiliate tracking code) of the Join Page.
Site - Name of the website the video is from.
In addition to the dump/export files, an excellent tool for affiliates are XML feeds. XML feeds allow tube site owners to automatically update their tube sites through syndication. HDPays has the best XML feed I've seen yet. Example here. (http://promo.hdpays.com/hd_flv_xml.php?account=2000001&start=0&limit=100)
XML feed specifications found here. (http://www.tubeace.com/nav/xml_feeds/)
