Chapter 11: Getting Other Webmasters To Promote Your Site
Idea 80: Syndicating Web Site Articles Using JavaScript
We've already talked about publishing web sites articles that you allow others to republish (Idea 79: Web Site Articles).
Another idea is to create articles that other webmasters can link to as JavaScripts.
- The advantage of this, for you, is if set-up correctly, the other webmasters can't so easily change your content without your knowledge. For example, they can't omit the link-back to your site.
- The advantage of this, for other webmasters, is you could set it so you offer an option where they show the latest article from you - and they don't have to update their web pages.
- The disadvantage is that this idea (or rather, the simple implementation of it) uses JavaScript which is not visible to non-JavaScript browsers, and can not be seen by most Search Engine Spiders (Idea 1: Spider-Based Search Engines).
When your syndication JavaScripts are all finished and working, be sure to tell people about it. An easy way to do this is to list it on FreeSticky.com and StickySauce.com which contain indexes of these types of things.
