To maximize revenue from syndicated content, focus on format, consistency, and reaching multiple platforms. Small optimizations — converting articles to slideshows, publishing regularly, and keeping feeds valid — compound into significantly higher earnings. Here are seven proven best practices.
The 7 best practices
- Use multi-format content. Convert articles into slideshows, galleries, and videos to increase impressions per reader.
- Syndicate to multiple networks. Don’t rely on one platform — reach MSN, SmartNews, Yahoo, and AOL together.
- Publish consistently. A steady stream of fresh content keeps your feed active and your audience growing.
- Optimize images. Correctly sized, high-quality images are required by most platforms and boost engagement.
- Keep feeds valid. Broken or non-compliant feeds stop distribution — automated validation prevents lost revenue.
- Protect SEO with canonicals. Keep your original post authoritative so syndication adds reach without ranking risk.
- Lead readers back to your site. Strong headlines and attribution drive referral traffic you can monetize directly.
Why automation makes the difference
Doing all seven manually for every post is unrealistic. Automation is what turns best practices into consistent results — formatting, image handling, validation, and distribution happen the moment you publish.
How Feed Fusion applies these automatically
Feed Fusion converts your posts into multiple formats, distributes them to several networks, validates feeds in real time, and keeps your WordPress post as the canonical source — so you follow every best practice without extra effort.
