Content syndication is a highly effective way to generate targeted traffic, backlinks and gain more exposure for Your website. It’s also a good way to become known as an expert authority in Your topic area. But how do you make your content syndication strategy pay? That’s a great question and it is exactly what we are going to be looking at in this article.

Just to make sure that you are up to speed, your syndication Feed is most likely going to be comprised of your rss feed from your blog. You most likely will not need to create a feed because if you are using a blogging platform such as WordPress, it automatically generates a RSS feed for you.

Monetize your feed with ad revenues from Google Adsense

What you can do is spiff up your feed using Feedburner, which will also publicize your feed for you giving you an initial boost in exposure. If you want to monetize your Feedburner feed, an easy way to do that is through the Google Adsense program. Since Google also owns Feedburner it’s a fairly simple and seamless operation. You’ll find the step-by-step instructions for inserting the ad code in your feeds in your Adsense account backend.

Once you have tweaked your feed and inserted the ad codes, you’ll want to spread the word about it and attract new subscribers. Here are a few ways you can do that:

• Grab the URL for your new, souped-up feed and submit it to the top RSS feed directories. You can find these directories by doing a quick search.

• Get TwitterFeed, which will syndicate your RSS feed to several social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook automatically

• Use Ping.fm to syndicate your content to a monster list of about 30 social networks including Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Tumblr, Posterous, FriendFeed, etc.

Join or create a content syndication network or a ‘tribe’

Chances are you have made contacts with other online business people as you participate in live seminars, conferences and online networking. Each of you share the common need to get more exposure, more relevant backlinks, and more traffic to your websites. If you all pool your resources and agree to share one another’s links to each other’s networks it can be a win-win.

Another plus to being part of a content syndication network or tribe is that you can give each other recommendations and testimonials. These are powerful forms of social proof, which has a measurable impact on conversions.

So, now you’ve got some solid ideas for setting up your content syndication feed, monetizing it and publicizing it so that it will generate additional exposure, backlinks and traffic for your website. Your next step is to take these ideas and put them into practice. It will take some time before you start seeing the fruits of your content syndication strategy but after a consistent schedule of creating and sharing content it will eventually reach a tipping point where you will begin to see a nice, steady flow of traffic and inbound links.

Google Reader is a free rss reader that allows visitors to keep track of all of their diverse rss feeds, and share the feeds that they enjoy with their friends. When a visitor lands on Your site and they find useful content that is relevant to their interests they don’t want to miss out when you publish, so they subscribe to Your rss feed so they can stay informed.

They follow the same process for other blogs that they find, and Google Reader helps them to keep all of these feeds organized. Google Reader makes it easier for Your visitors to keep current with your blog posts because it regularly checks sites for updates and delivers them to one convenient place saving the visitor’s time and effort. If your visitors really like your content and find it useful, they may also share your rss feed with their contacts. This makes Google Reader also a great place to discover new feeds.

To get started with Google Reader you visitors will first need a Google account, which is free. Once they get their Google reader account set up, and they have subscribed to a bunch of feeds, they can now read your content along with the content of their other favorite blogs at their own convenience.

One of the cool features of Google reader is, “bundles,” which is a collection of themed groups of feeds that they can subscribe to at once and then they are neatly organized in their own folder in the user’s reader.

When your visitors want to read your content in their reader they simply click on the title, which expands the story, or they can click the headline when the story is open to visit the website where the story came from.

Google reader makes it simple and easy to share stories that users find in their reader. They can either email the entire story, which appears along with a link to the original post, or they can hit the ‘share’ button, which shares a link to the story rather than filling up the recipient’s inbox.

Now, if they have a smart phone your visitors can even read their rss feeds while they are on the go. There are smart phone apps that will allow your subscribers to your visitors to catch up on their RSS feeds from their web-enabled mobile devices and take your content with them as they move through their day. So, now you never know where your visitors will be when they are consuming your content.

If you publish news on your website, you can submit your news feed to Google news. When you publish pieces about timely topics you could get a nice flow of traffic to your site from all of that exposure.

So, people can use Google Reader or another free rss reader to read your content that gets pushed to them from your blog. They can consume it at their own pace and then find their way back to your blog in one click if they want more information.

Blogging is a difficult area for many people to get into. Whether they’re unfamiliar with the technology, unsure of the benefits, or simply unsure of whether it’s worth the personal investment to them, blogs can draw questions and attention from many people. While blogging certainly isn’t for everyone, there are many circumstances where starting a blog can be both a beneficial professional, financial and education experience, offering anyone the ability to promote themselves and stand out from the crowd. Here’s a quick rundown of five of the best reasons to start a blog, along with detailed reasons for each one.

#1 – When your name is out there, you can control what people see when they search for your name. Unless you’re called Joe Smith, it’s unlikely that there’s anyone else with your name that’s blogging on the same subject as you. When you control the content that’s tied to your name, you control what people see when they search for you, and in turn their impressions of you.

#2 – It gives you the opportunity to market yourself online. Without a blog, you’re just another person lost in the noise of the internet. Start a blog and you can control what people see when they research you, allow potential contacts and employers to see what you’re thinking, and advertise your skills and abilities to the entire online world.

#3 – With a blog, you can improve your writing skills and develop a voice. A lot of wannabe writers look for shortcuts to success, and the truth is that there are none. Develop a voice and you can stand out from everyone else, and market yourself on your communication skills. With the internet making everyone’s communication platform equal, those with the greatest communications skills are invariable the ones that will be given the most attention. Starting a blog gives you the chance to develop and refine these skills.

#4 – You can connect to people that share your interests and ambitions. There’s a lot of talk in social media circles of ‘connecting’. While blogs are nothing new in terms of social media, they’re ultimately one of the most important connection tools on the internet. Let people know what you’re thinking, and connect with influentials and like-minded people by sharing your thoughts, research, and opinions with them.

#5- You might just make some money. With the many advertising and monetisation options available to webmasters right now, monetising a blog to produce a small income is as easy as putting up a couple of Google Adsense ads, or selling off small advertising spots to local, or subject related businesses. The most important part of this is that it’s impossible to make a loss blogging. With the free blogging software available you’ll never lose money, and even if you don’t crack a healthy profit, you’ll still develop key skills that allow you to market yourself to employers and other influential people.

Good luck in the blogging world. It’s easier than it looks to just jump straight into it, and the benefits and rewards of participating are endless and important.

Multiply.com Puts the “Social” in Social Bookmarking

Popular social network raises the bar by facilitating discussions about bookmarked sites among friends and family.

[eminimall products="software"]

Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) September 5, 2006 — In addition to blogs, video, photos, and music, Multiply users can now share, discuss, and tag bookmarks. Just like the other types of media, when adding a “link” to their personal site, Multiply users can specify exactly who they want to share it with and access to the item can be limited to just a few individuals, or expanded to include one’s whole social network. Further, users get notified via Multiply’s proprietary message board when somebody is sharing a link with them as well as when someone comments on a link. These notifications generate discussions about the topic of the site or story bookmarked. (See example: http://mrybells.multiply.com/links/item/14 )

“There are a number of social bookmarking sites out there but most are designed for adding your links to a huge public pool, and with such a large scope, it’s impossible to easily track not just the links of your friends but their comments as well. This may be one of the reasons behind why social bookmarking has not been more readily adopted by the mainstream population,” stated Peter Pezaris, Multiply’s President and Founder. “With communications tools focused on sharing within your bona-fide social network, Multiply has created an environment where people can have meaningful conversations about websites and interesting links that they’ve found directly with their inner social circle of contacts, where shared interests, pastimes and pursuits are much more common than with the universe of the Web.”

Multiply’s social bookmarking or “links” component is also fully integrated into Multiply’s tagging platform, which is unique in a few ways. Multiply’s tags cross content types, so if a user wants to publish some bookmarks to sites about “New York,” some videos and photos they’ve taken on their vacation to “New York,” and a blog entry about that vacation, they can do it on one site, versus four separate ones, and likewise others can easily find all that content. Multiply is also the only site that offers views of “personal tag clouds” that reflect content and topics aggregated by one’s direct contacts or one’s personal social network such as “Baby Charlie”, “Thanksgiving,” “Xmas”, and “vacations”, as opposed to a public aggregation of tags that run the gamut of topics from “Open Source,” “Design Tools,” “Java,” and “Ruby on Rails.”

“Most social bookmarking sites and tagging solutions, in general, focus on aggregating the most popular tags of all users on the system, or maybe even the aggregation of all the users on multiple systems,” added Pezaris. “This may be interesting to a narrow segment of early adopters of technology, but for most people, seeing what tags are popular among all their friends or their inner circle is more relevant and interesting.”

About Multiply, Inc.
With offices in New York, NY and Boca Raton, FL, Multiply provides easy-to-use, integrated tools and communication features that allow people to create and share their online presence and communications in a controlled, private manner. Unlike other social networks that aggregate everyone’s profile, photos, videos, and blogs into a public bucket, Multiply contains and delivers information, content, and communication strictly within the personal network boundaries that each user has outlined. (See guided tour: http://multiply.com/info/tour/1 ) The company is privately held with backing by Transcosmos and private investors.
