You should go HERE to read the updated version of this amazing Content Syndication Process
———-
Content Syndication? What is it? A question I’m getting asked a lot lately…. And how does it fit in with our SEO (Search Engine Optimization) Strategy.
First let’s speak to the big elephant in the room. Matt Cutts of Google has recently came out and said that “gaming the system” is NO longer going to work unless you want to pay a HUGE price in the form of a Google penalty.
If you in Online Marketing and not paying attention to Matt Cutts then your missing out. He shares with you the latest and puts you on the “inside” of Google.
Below is our exact step-by-step system. We call it our Content Syndication “Wild Fire Method”. The ultimate goal is to drive FREE organic traffic to your posts, articles, and other content.
1. Open Your Weekly Content Optimization Checklist and Go To Second Part
You work the system from left to right.
NOTE: This can only be used AFTER a post/article/content is published.
RED are the “Must Do Task” and always to be done.
BLACK are the Items we want to do but IF we have limited time they come second.
2-A (on for those who have not set up an account at Posterous) – First Set Up Account then go inside and set up your syndication feed as you see below.
1. Click on Spaces Tab at top right.
2. Click on Auto Post Set Up in drop down menu
3. Set up your accounts
4. Your ready to post to posterous and it’s syndicated network.
2-B Go To Blog Post and Grab Your Intro Paragraph and then send to Posterous. It then does all the work for you. URGENT: Pay attention to the steps in the picture as this is a key component in your Content Syndication System.
What it looks like when done.
3. Go To BizSugar.com and submit Post
3-A: Submit the URL of the post
3-B: Fill In BizSugar Form
This is what it looks like after
4. Submit Post To Inbound.org
5. Submit to Serpd.com
6. Submit to Retweeme.com – (A community of Bloggers helping one another by retweeting each others posts) – Having a group of peers whom share your stuff is a powerful strategy for your overall social media campaign.
7. Submit To StumbleUpon and Twitter
The tools I recommend for doing this?
For automation and scheduling for later I recommend: www.bufferapp.com and www.hootsuite.com
Both of these have chrome/firefox bookmarklets and/or plugins to help
For on the spot syndication I recommend the “AddThis” plugin for either chrome or firefox which allows you to just pick the service and automoatically post it.
