Guide to Licensing Web Site Content
How to acquire or add the right content without controversyIn most cases, you simply pay a monthly fee, and the content feeds you want are delivered to your Web site. There are also several providers who offer content for free.
Keeping your Web site updated with content that's relevant to your target audience can:
- Keep visitors coming back to your site.
- Build your relationship with your customers.
- Encourage customers to spend more time on your site.
- Enhance your company's image.
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
News feeds
Keep customers coming back with updated news feeds that are geared to the interests of your visitors.
I recommend:
Major syndication services, such as YellowBrix, Feedzilla and Syndic8.com, offer news feeds on hundreds of topics. YellowBrix and Feedzilla will let you customize a news feed using keywords that relate to your business. Industry-specific news is also available from more traditional syndicators such as CNN RSS, the Associated Press and Illumen Web Publishing.
Broadcast feeds
If appropriate, enhance your Web site with video and audio content.
I recommend:
Get access to more than 35 channels of broadcast video with Moreover, which also offers access to news and features from thousands of sources and access to millions of Weblogs.
Weblogs
Blogs are quickly gaining popularity. Featuring blog content that speaks to your customers can encourage visitors to spend more time on your site.
I recommend:
Feedzilla and Moreover offer access to the best blogs on the Web.
Sports scores
If you sell products or services related to sports, consider adding a sports feed.
I recommend:
Major providers of sports feeds include ESPN.com and CBSSportsLine.com. SportzNetwork.com offers free sports news tools for your Web site.
Don't pay for more than you need
If you don't need a constant content feed on your Web site, you have options. Reduce your costs by handpicking content on a piecemeal basis.
I recommend:
Mochila allows you to acquire only the content you want with an "a la carte" option.
Free content
If your budget can't handle the fees of a major syndicator, tap into free content for your Web site.
I recommend:
Find a host of free Web site content, including news headlines, games, sports and weather, at FreeSticky.com. For free feature articles and news, go to E-Zinez.com. TheFreeDictionary.com offers free content, such as a word of the day, article of the day, quotation of the day and in the news. SportzNetwork.com offers free sports news tools for your Web site.
Budget for content
The price you'll pay depends on how many content feeds you want. Licensing fees can be as low as $5 a month for a single feed but can shoot up to a few hundred dollars per month for an unlimited number of feeds.
I recommend:
Check out pricing options at Feedzilla.com and
