Indeed contacted me about Sponsored Feed
Hi,
My rep at Indeed contacted me and told me that based upon my site traffic I qualify to receive a feed of their sponsored inventory. This older thread here makes mention of the differences between organic and sponsored Indeed results:

I have a tech doc they emailed me with these requirements, that's everything in the doc:
Job Search API Requirements
The Indeed Job Search API provides the ability to import jobs using the same search methodologies offered on
Indeed’s Advanced Job Search page:
http://www.indeed.com/advanced_search
Jobs requested using Indeed’s API should not be cached. The API should be sent requests in real time
when a job seeker completes a job search.
All jobs requested using the API must be displayed immediately in the same order returned on the web page
that generated the request.
onmousedown
The results returned from an API request will include an element labeled <onmousedown>. The contents of the
<onmousedown> result element will be unique to each API request and must be included in all <a href> job result
links. Example:
<a onmousedown="indeed_clk(this,'8383');" href="http://www.examplejobboard.com/job?id=15">Example Job
Title</a>
Useragent & Userip
API requests are required to include the useragent and userip URL parameters. Example:
&userip=1.2.3.4&useragent=Mozilla/%2F4.0%28Firefox%29
Pagination
A web page featuring Indeed job results is limited to a single API request. For example, if a web page displays 20
jobs from Indeed per job search result page, the API requests for each page should be as follows:
Page 1 API request: &start=0&limit=20
Page 2 API request: &start=20&limit=20
Page 3 API request: &start=40&limit=20
Attribution
Please include the Indeed Attribution on any webpage where Indeed jobs are displayed:
<span id=indeed_at><a href="http://www.indeed.com/">jobs</a> by <a href="http://www.indeed.com/" title="Job
Search"><img src="http://www.indeed.com/p/jobsearch.gif" style="border: 0; vertical-align: middle;" alt="Indeed job
search"></a></span>
Click Tracking
When you construct HTML content from this data, your HTML markup must reference a javascript file for click
tracking support. Copy the code below and paste it into the <head> section of your web page:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.indeed.com/ads/apiresults.
js"></script>
Apparently, Indeed has some sort of tiered publisher program. Everyone starts out with an "organic" account and if you send them enough traffic you qualify for a "sponsored" feed, which will increase revenue for a site.
So my question is this: Is Jobroller setup to where I can tell them to turn this feed on? Or does there have to be some tinkering of the code done to import their sponsored inventory feed? I haven't found any forum posts that provide exact instructions of how to accomplish this. I really hope you can assist me with this. Thank you.
