You can embed one of the many mobile buttons and links available for your site. In your account, choose the

Buttons & Links option for your feed. Your readers will be able to enter their phone number to get the link via SMS. They can also use alternate methods to get to your site: by entering the address directly or using the QR Code reader on their phone.
Yes. If you setup your own domain such as m.yourdomain.com or yourdomain.mobi, you can forward them to your FeedM8 mobile shortcut. You can also use your existing domain and redirect mobile users to the mobile site. Look for the integration code option in your account.
Occasionally, certain blog formatting may cause such problems. You can define the content that appears on your mobile site by using a custom setting. You do this by going to the Manage Feed screen and selecting Custom Content Definition under Advanced Options.
Before your ads are tracked and you start to earn money, you must verify your feed. This is a one time process. In your list of feeds, choose the

verify option for steps on how to do this.
Before you start earning money from your feed, you must verify that it's yours. This is to prevent others from making money on your feed. To verify that you control the content in the feed, you must include a unique code in your next feed update. You only need to do this once.
You can remove the verify code once the process is complete. But if you don't want to use the verify code, you can verify your feed manually with us.
Contact us with the address of your blog or website, we will send you instructions via the contact email or form on your website.
To improve the speed of your mobile site, your feed may be cached for up to 20 minutes. If your feed has changed and you want it to take affect immediately, simply resave your feed settings. Cached copies of your feed are cleared whenever your feed settings are updated.
We offer additional customization options, please

Monetizing Your Feed
All the ads that appear are designed for mobile devices. Some examples of our advertisers include phone ringtones and wallpapers, mobile games, chat and communities. We do not advertise for gambling or adult content.
The ad revenue split is 60/40, in favour of our publishers.
At the end of each month, your account will be credited with the ad revenue share you received for the month through your feeds. If your account balance at the end of the month exceeds $50, you will be paid after 30 days. Payment is made via check or PayPal.
Like traditional web advertising, the amount you earn depends largely on the amount of traffic you have. The mobile ad click-thru rate (CTR) is typically several times higher than web CTRs and the CPC is roughly equivalent. This means you can potentially earn the more with the same traffic. Furthermore, mobile advertising is growing much faster than traditional web ads, by many reports will exceed web ads in 2-3 years.
You can earn even more through our affiliate program. To find out more, see the
affiliate program details.
We help connect your readers to your mobile site. By using one of the web widgets or links, your readers can access your blog or feed from their phone easier and quicker. We also recommend your feed to other readers with similar interests, introducing your content to a new audience. We frequently select high performing sites to promote on our landing page, this will give your site the best exposure opportunities.
You can earn more by telling others about FeedM8. When a content publisher who signed up for FeedM8 through your referral link earns their first $20 from advertisers, you will be credited with $10 in your account. As a bonus, if the same publishers earns over $100 within 180 days of sign-up, you will be credited with an additional $50!
