Syndication Tools (aka Traffic Building Tools)

Posted in Traffic Generation at 3:57 am by a writer

Traffic exchanges and traffic building tools have been around since the start of the Internet and are now popping back up in the form of nice looking “Web 2.0″ “Widgets.” If you understand how to navigate, these traffic exchange tools can help to bring users to your site. Today we will discuss two services that we are going to try on this blog and will update you as we gain more experience with them. As always your comments are appreciated either below, or contact us.

Both services publish your RSS feeds; one handles the syndication by mixing your feeds with other members feeds (and distributing via third party blogs) and the other is strictly your feed, but you are responsible for syndication. Both services are also trying to create a destination for Publishers on their own websites as a place to come to pick up free content.

The first service is called Blog Rush, which can be seen on the right hand side of Cwire.org. Blog Rush aggregates several participating publishers RSS feeds and displays them on publishers websites who have embedded the Blog Rush widget. Blog Rush’s easy to use back-end tracks how many times their widget is shown on a publishers site and gives publishers a credit in that amount of usage. Those credits are automatically applied towards the publishers own content appearing on other web pages. If a user clicks on a link on the widget, the user is brought to the publishers web page. Here is a link to a page that has a video on it that better explains it.

The Blog Rush service allows you to earn credits for both displaying the widget and getting other blog users to sign up. Some bloggers so far have only received a few clicks for every thousand displays of their widget. However, it is possible that these users are more valuable since they will be coming from targeted links on blogs similar to your own. We will provide an analysis of our results with Blog Rush in a later post.

The second service is called Spring Widgets, which allows you to syndicate your RSS feed (without having to share the space), but you are responsible for your own distribution. This service is great if you have a feed that you feel your users would want to display. Unlike Blog Rush, there is no aggregation model and no built in distribution.

Have you heard of Entrecard? It’s from the same creator as the Million Dollar Wiki project. Its more interactive than Blogrush and you control exactly who can advertise on your blog and who cannot. It’s a simple system but it gives the little guy a better chance at advertising on the bigger, more popular blogs.

From what I’ve heard, sydication, even via RSS can get you dinged for dupe content by the search engines. I may be wrong — but it makes sense.

 
2008-06-02 00:31:48

@job in my area – Google is not that bad about duplicate content. If the RSS (or article) has a link back to the original post then Google understands the content has been syndicated. Of course they may not rank your RSS post for that item but that’s OK.

Blog Rush was a reasonable idea for spreading content, and using a credit system tends to be quite appealing to individuals that take part. There are quite a few spreading systems popping up that involve credits as currency to trade around in the systems.

More traffic is always good – many of the traffic tools will be mediocre or outdated but its worth trying a bunch out as some will certainly help you – and sometimes in ways that the original creator of the tool didn’t intend.

If you want the least expense, the best way to improve site traffic is to create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement – if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.lol

Those who are over a tight spending budget and so are searching for affordable engagement rings would not locate them in the artist stores. artist rings are very breathtaking and marvelous but they are pretty pricey and in the event you possess a tight budget, these would undoubtedly not suit into your budget. You need to only purchase a ring which could be affordable and never hold over a personal debt to the engagement. It is pretty best to stick in the direction of the on the net stores supplied which you will very likely possess the ability to locate equally fabulous rings there.

Hi all,
I’ve used the adwords tool to estimate demand and supply, looked for forums to see what my target market is talking about… I see google analytics is free and looks pretty good once I’m up and running. I’m still working on my content right now on word and trying to decide if I should go with SBI or not I definitely want the Thesis template. I’m not looking for a really fancy site, just one with really rich content that I hope to provide.

Does SBI really have a lot better brainstorming and trafficbuilding tools that cannot be pulled together for free if I look hard enough? I have more time than money. I’m planning to put together an affiliate blog on webpalace which has free wordpress with a 1 button install. I’m trying to justify the $300 annual fee for using SBI… are the tools for brainstorming and traffic building really that good?

Anybody have an opinion they want to share? Maybe you have a website that provides such a service?

Let’s say you want to syndicate Yahoo News to your own personal website. The first party would be Yahoo (the provider), the method of syndication would be the second party, and your site would be the 3rd party since you are not affilliated in any way with the site providing the information.
