			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="float:right;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px;"></div><p><em>Today’s guest post was written by Jonathan Bentz, a member of the internet marketing team at ProspectMX, a Pennsylvania-based</em> <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.prospectmx.com">web marketing company</a>.</p>
<p>If you blog, and no one reads it, does your blog matter? Or are you simply clogging up the internets?</p>
<p>Many bloggers don’t feel the need to worry about marketing themselves. “I’m not blogging to make money – this is just my hobby,” I’ve heard some say.</p>
<p>If that’s the case… then great. But if you’re not blogging to be read, why not just keep a notebook and write notes to yourself?</p>
<p>The point of blogging IS to be read. You believe you have something to say that people want to read. In order to be heard by the right people, bloggers need to get their content in front of their audience.</p>
<p>How can bloggers do that? Through syndication. Really Simple Syndication.</p>
<p>Below is a list of ten websites that syndicate blog content at no charge. Due to the traffic these sites receive, the authority they carry with the search engines, and connections they have with top publishers, all ten sites can provide a major benefit to marketing your blog. In all cases, they also allow you to syndicate the content you produce on your blog for free.</p>
<p>In some cases, these syndicators might even pay you for your hard work! Even if you don’t blog for the money – who doesn’t like being paid?!</p>
<p>Make sure you have your blog syndicated by as many of these websites as possible. Your traffic numbers, better search engine rankings, and potential to earn more revenue from your blog provide all the benefit you need to syndicate.</p>
<ol><strong>The Essentials:</strong></p>
<li>Technorati – the search engine for blogs. This should be the first place anyone goes to syndicate their blog.</li>
<li>Blog Catalog – need to add a small line of code to your site to get syndication with Blog Catalog.</li>
<li>BlogBurst – another essential. If accepted, your content can be syndicated on authority sites like Reuters and USA Today.</li>
<li>My Blog Log – add a small piece of code or one of their widgets to your site for visitor tracking and visitor ID.</li>
<li>Twitter – if you’re a blogger who uses Twitter and aren’t using one of the many WordPress plugins for Twitter syndication or Twitterfeed – I ask, why? What’s the problem &#8211; your blog allergic to traffic?</li>
<li>Feedburner – setting up your RSS feed through Feedburner is very SEO-friendly. Anytime you can align yourself with something Google-approved, do it.</li>
<p><strong>The Unexpected Surprise:</strong></p>
<li>Amazon – I bet most bloggers don’t know that they can syndicate their content to Amazon and get paid for it. At the beginning, Amazon only syndicated the highest profile blogs to its Kindle buyers. In May, however, they opened the doors to all bloggers. There are over 600,000 Kindle users – do you think a few of them might be interested in your content? Amazon controls pricing, but Kindle users pay between $0.99 and $1.99 for access to your content. Amazon pays bloggers a 30% commission.<strong>Three Others Syndicators That Can Benefit Your Blogging</strong></li>
<li>Blogged – another quality blog search engine.</li>
<li>Networked Blogs – Networked Blogs also has a great Facebook app for bloggers and the fans of blogs.</li>
<li>Blogoria – SEO-friendly syndication.</li>
