Today, I am going to discuss the step-by-step guide to syndicate your content and the top content syndication networks on the market today!

Step-by-Step Process for Content Syndication

Step #1 – Determine Your Goals

Before you head start syndicating your blog post, the first thing you need to do is identify your goal. Decide whether you want to use your blog to drive more traffic or wish to simply keep your readers updated? 

Determining the goals before getting started gives you an idea on where and how you should share your posts.

Step #2 – Select Syndication Partners

While choosing syndication partners, make sure to choose the one with higher authority links. The bigger the blog, the higher quality standard!

Step #3 – Aware of SEO Mistakes

While thinking of content syndicating, many marketers fear that it will create SEO duplicate issues. You too think the same, no worries!

Now let us discuss how Google handles the syndicated duplicate versions and how to avoid it:

  • Method #1: rel=canonical tag

It’s the effective way to prevent duplicate content issues. If your content syndication partner adds the rel=canonical tag to your syndicated blog post, they tell Google where the original content is. This canonical tag not only benefits you from duplicated content issues but also lets you benefit from all links that the syndicated copy attracts.

  • Method #2: NoIndex

When your blog post is tagged with NoIndex, Google’s search engine robots simply don’t crawl the page and won’t index it. So when you contact the syndication partners, ask them if they’d be willing to use NoIndex tag in their blog page. By doing this, you won’t lose any organic traffic and also you can stay away from getting penalized for duplicated content.

Step #4 – Start Syndicating

To enjoy the full benefits of syndication, you need to become a syndication partner with the higher authority blog publishers on an ongoing basis and also utilizing a syndication network effectively.
