Smart Syndication

Is Syndicated Content Hurting Your SEO Strategy?
Protecting SEO

Content syndication is a fantastic way to get your content more widely consumed, but it’s important to do it correctly so your SEO doesn’t take a hit. Canonical tags, for example, make sure that you get credited properly by telling search engines that yours is the original source content. Backlinks are your friend. Select your syndication partners carefully. Work only with sites in relevant industries who will provide proper backlinks so that you don’t hand the SEO boost or organic growth over to the syndicator. When you’re publishing content from other sites, citing the source benefits the source — but it benefits you as well, by protecting you from penalties for posting duplicate content. Read the full post for more helpful tips to protect your syndication efforts.
