Publishing Syndicated Content on Your Blog

Some writers publicize themselves by syndicating a portion of their work for publication in websites, or newsletters. The quality of such articles varies greatly. The writers of these articles appreciate having their work published as long as the simple guidelines are followed to give them the credit deserved. The text of this type of articles can be copied and pasted into your html page as long as you include the credentials at the bottom of each article which typically includes also a hyperlink to the author's site. It's a good idea to check the author's site to verify before publishing any free articles.

The below mentioned tips for publishing free articles will help webmasters get started with publishing syndicated content, even if it is about travel articles, technology articles, business or fashion articles.

Tips for publishing free articles:
- the general etiquette for publishing a free article is to include the credentials at the end of the article, giving the author full credit.
- it is a good practice to make sure the author's url or email appearing in the resource box is hyperlinked in your copy of the article instead of simply listed in text form.
- before publishing articles, check the author permissions in the resource box to make sure the author does not have any special stipulations for publication. Some authors like to receive a FYI e-mail notification from the publisher letting him know where the article is being published.
- always keep in mind that the author retains the copyright and that under law, the article is his or her property which they are allowing you to use.
