"XML Feed" is embedded HTML or other source code used to access technology that allows a default set of listings or search results, which may include a site title, description and universal resource locator (URL) of a eClickZ.com advertiser as well as other information, to appear on an affiliate's site. Search results are displayed based on a keyword or set of keywords and selected by the highest bid amounts relevant to the affiliate's site content.
