Welcome to the Joomla SEO Club and Book

I'm very careful about recommending products on this blog, plugging only about 10% of the stuff that gets sent. Thats mainly because so many developers harvest email addresses and send out a mass mailing. Just a two-line, personalised message and a sample of the product is enough to get my interest.

It also helps if something comes from a friend who doesn't know you're going to give them a mention.

Today, I got a very pleasant surprise from Ian from NewWorldDesigns.co.uk, who've worked with for a long time. His first commercial product came out today and its a great start - its a RSS Feeder for Virtuemart. It allows you to submit a feed of all your products to Google's shopping search engine. It works out of the box and without any hacks. Its simple to set up and the demonstration video gives you a good idea of what it can do.

So, no affiliate links, no paid posting, just a recommendation. Its a good product.

No more Froogle
written by Judy, July 10, 2007

I used to be a heavy Froogle user but Google have dropped the name. So whenever you type Froogle.com you'll be redirected to this:

http://www.google.com/products

Thanks for highlighting the VM extension. I will be able to put it into good use for my client.

Hi Judy

Thanks for pointing that out - I slipped by by not pointing that out.

I was thinking about that before posting - Froogle is such a memorable name that I thought it would be the easiest way for readers to understand what the post was about.

Thanks for the great words there Steve and Judy.

When i started the project, Google called that part of their site Froogle, but by the time i finished, it had changed name to Google base, so i think I'm just going to call it an RSS Feed, in case they change the name again

But keep an eye out on this project, as I'm already looking at the Google API, so it will be a direct feed straight into Google base

Thanks again

I know Ian and I have to say it's a fantastic, much needed utility.

Bit late but, well done!

Will this feeder work for other sites besides Google products as well?
