Facebook Syndication Explained

Categories: General — Oliver at 3:44 pm

Since the launch of Social News, our Facebook application, we have been flooded with inquires from publishers and bloggers on how they can add their sites or publications to the list of available news sources in Social News. These sources can be accessed by clicking the Choose News tab in Social News.

To help answer their questions I decided to summarize the process:

1. Sign up as a Publisher on Grouptivity
Fill out the simple form on the Grouptivity website and get a publisher ID number and access to Grouptivity’s power sharing tools.

2. Embed Grouptivity’s Share+ Tools on your blog or website
Add Grouptivity’s sharing tools to your site by simply cutting and pasting HTML code, or install the Grouptivity Share+ WordPress plugin on your blog.

3. Readers share your content and distribute it on social networks

Readers visiting your blog or site sharing content using Grouptivity’s tools. In the process, the share content is automatically made available to the Social News Facebook application. Additionally, if readers add the Facebook application from your blog or site, your publication is automatically added in their list of news sources.

 

4. Drive More Traffic to your Site from Facebook and Elsewhere As readers share your content with friends via email, bookmarks, and social networking applications such as Social News, you get increased distribution and traffic. It’s that simple.
