Group Buying Deal Aggregator script

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

Im new to PHP but feel i need a challenge...

 

Where would i start if i wanted to build a deal aggregator script to pull in all the best deals from Tippr, LivingSocial, Groupon etc etc and if someone clicks and buys the deal it will reference it against my affiliate code??

 

or is this a bit too complex for newbie?

 

cheers

At a table, on a chair :) Then figure out how you can get the information from their website, do they have API's to retrieve the information? You could scrape their website but most likely it's against their ToS, so you want to minimize that.

 

Store the information you get into a database and show it to any visitors any and all links they click should have your referrer number in it. Not really complex but you'll need to think it through.
