I just stumbled upon SyndicateKahuna.com.  It’s a service that let’s you automatically get content on your blog, in the categories that you choose.  The idea is that promoters and advertisers PAY to submit content, and in return that content is “dripped” to web sites, like yours, automatically.  The syndicator adds a special php script to their site, and once installed, the blog posting activity is virtually automatic.  As the blog owner, you also have the option of putting all posts into a pending status so you can do the final edits to ensure posts are relevant.

Benefit to Content Writer?
Clean Back links in their content without a rel=nofollow tag and the ability to market and create some Google juice.

Benefit to Syndicator?
Traffic, higher SEO ranking, and hopefully in-line advertising to make money from the additional content, and blog activity

Cool!
I knew content syndication was a possibility with blogs, but the business model SyndicateKahuna has designed is smart.  I’m concerned about content duplication and the rules Google and other search engines use around content duplication including penalization.  That’s the big question I have yet to answer.  Come back soon as I share my thoughts about this.

P.S. Sidenote
On a side note, I was able to register WordpressNinjas.ca today!  I’m super excited about the possibilities of using this new domain name and I really like the idea of using it!  On idea I have is to turn it into a self-serve model to generate more leads and projects and maybe integrate content syndication into the blog side of the site.  Or maybe I will turn it into a paid membership directory for Wordpress developers across Canada and create a ranking system based on meta data like RSS feed activity, Pagerank, and Community Ranking.  That would be cool.  Ninja stars could represent weapons to lower someone’s ranking, and other ninja paraphernalia could represent ways to vote for a member’s ranking. 

Got other ideas?  Let me know!
