    Are CJ feeds still paid?
    is there an another way to extract/retrieve feed info and to convert it to posts?


    Thanks?

    Yes. Datafeeds via CJ is $200 (one time charge for unlimited feeds). I think your best option is to use PopShops to grab products.. or use CJ's API. I've been less than impressed with CJ's API, and highly recommend PopShops.

    I use popshops and ColdenCAN , I'm happy with them, I asked about feeds because these takes the products with JS and my pages with products are not spiderable for the google....and If I make a page manually with the link from CJ it started to attract visitors immediately.
    So i'm looking for something like feed to convert it to several posts for attract visitors and the rest will do the do the popshops :)

    Do you have an idea?

    What about going with a paid account. I'm assuming you're using the free account with popshops. Professional or Enterprise will give you the ability to use PHP, RSS, XML, etc and to render the feed as HTML on your end dynamically.

    All of my popshop shops use PHP or RSS/XML methods and are spiderable. No javascript.

    I wrote a post about using dynamic XML/RSS feeds from pop shops (Enterprise account is required for XML/RSS)

    If you know anything about programming, CJ API is FREE to use. You can do an XML call, say a product search, and get an XML file back with product info including IMG link, buy link, prod. name, description etc. I repeat, this doesn't cost anything! You just need to know something about PHP, or some other language, and to sign up for CJ Web Services and get a key. I do not know of any free solutions, unfortunately.
