CRE Loaded SEO URL with Product Search Engine (Google, etc) and XML Sitemap Feeds

By admin on October 15, 2008

For many e-commerce store owners using CRE Loaded SEO URL module, the challenge has been how to effectively utilize CRE Loaded SEO URL module with product search engine and xml sitemap feeds like Google Product Search and Google XML Sitemap feeds . I have been able to get CRE Loaded SEO URL module to work with both (Google Product Search and Google XML Sitemap feeds); the same method can be used to generate feeds for Yahoo, MSN, Edgeio(Google), Mysimon and other product search engine and xml sitemaps.
