Supported content sources
The following list of content sources supported by CyberSEO Pro is not exhaustive. Since the plugin allows you to import any content provided in RSS, Atom, XML, JSON, CSV and HTML, it is impossible to list all the supported sources, as such a list would be simply infinite. Accordingly, the following are just some basic examples of content sources that you can import with CyberSEO Pro right out of the box – without any additional customization of the plugin options.
- RSS and Atom feeds
- XML feeds
- JSON feeds
- HTML documents
- Social Media
- CSV files and raw text dumps
- Product lists for WooCommerce
The CyberSEO Pro plugin is able to import RSS and Atom with the default settings. Just add your RSS or Atom feed with the CyberSEO Pro Syndicator and it will easily imported with the default settings.
In some cases you may receive the “Unable to acquire error” error message. In most cases it means that for some reason the site owner wants this feed to be opened in a web browser. In order to avoid this problem, you should use a fake user-agent to ask CyberSEO Pro to pretend that it is not s PHP script but a browser. You can do it as easy as shown here.
Some RSS feeds do not include some essential information like media content. In order to extract the necessary data from these views, you will need to play around with their settings a little. Given that not all users are professional webmasters, we have prepared special presets with the necessary settings for the following types of feeds.
Google News by category – both web and RSS link formats are supported.
To make its news feed more difficult to parse, Google uses Javascript redirect pages and often changes the way it encrypts the actual links to news articles. As a result, some Google News parsing scripts stop working. Some, but not CyberSEO Pro.

XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a markup language and file format for storing, transmitting, and reconstructing arbitrary data. It defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. Generally, almost most of documents on the Internet are variations of XML. For example, RSS and Atom feeds are also just XML files, even if we are used to consider them as something different.
The CyberSEO Pro plugin allows you to import and type of XML files with any internal structure. You will find more information on XML import in the CyberSEO Pro Syndicator manual. To make the import easier, plugin is equipped with per-configured options sets (presets) that allow you to import some common XML sources with just a couple of mouse clicks.
It’s impossible to list here all the supported XML feed sources, because CyberSEO Pro supports any XML sources, such as online product marketplace catalogs, news sources, weather forecasts, stock reports etc.

HTML documents
The plugin allows you to import articles from almost any single HTML page. This can come in handy if you decide for some reason to import a particular stand-alone article. This method is mainly suitable for importing dynamically updated pages. For example, if you add the following link with CyberSEO Pro then every time the plugin pulls it, a new random article from Wikipedia.org will be generated:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random
The most interesting feature for parsing random web pages is the ability to import articles via the XML Sitemap.

Social Media
The following social media resources do not provide public content feeds and are supported by the CyberSEO Pro plugin by means of special import algorithms.
CyberSEO Pro provides you two basic ways to import CSV files.
Method #1
In case if you want to import a CSV file from a remote host, just enter its URL into the “RSS/XML/JSON/CSV source” box and enable the “Treat as CSV ” option. This method allows you to import large dynamically updated CSV files with a header (the column names for the CSV data are defined in the line of the file). For example, it’s the right way to import large product CSV sheets from online marketplaces like AliExpress, Admitad etc. This method does not use your server memory and database to store the source data, because the syndicating content is located at a remote host.
Since any content source, including CSV, is automatically converted to XML, you should treat the imported data in the same way as described in this article.
Method #2
This method lets you import CSV or comma/semicolon/pipe delimited raw text dumps with or without a header. However in both cases the column names are not defined in the CSV sheet and must be manually assigned by the user. Just copy-paste the CSV content into the “CSV or text dump” box, select the delimiter type and assign the desired post element names such as title, content, description, link, thumbnail, date etc. Please remember that this method can be used with static data only. Also it uses your server memory to store all the content there. Thus it’s not recommended to use it with large product lists.
The CyberSEO Pro plugin is an universal content aggregator thus of course it allows you to import product lists for WooCommerce. There is no special “WooCommerce” button in the feed settings. Like any other WordPress plugin, WooCommerce registers a special “product” post type. CyberSEO Pro detects that WooCommerce specific post type and allows you to import the feed items as WooCommerce products.
Just select “product” in the CyberSEO Pro Syndicator Post type and set its Custom taxonomies, such as WooCommerce product categories, tags etc. Voilà your feed is set up for WooCommerce product generation ;)
In contrast to many other narrowly specialized plugins, CyberSEO Pro allows you to import WooCommerce products from any content source. It doesn’t matter which exactly product list format is provided by your marketplace online shop etc. It can be a CSV file, a raw text dump, an JSON or XML feed, or even some social network. The plugin is able to generate WooCommerce products from anywhere. So there is no need to list all supported product content sources like CJ.com, AliExpress, CodeCanyon, Admitad and others.
