How does FeedrollPro work?
FeedrollPro takes your existing RSS feed and adds a simple user interface so that other web masters can start syndicating your content immediately, custom designed to match the look and feel of their own site (example).

It is a win/win solution...your partners get free content, and you get more exposure and the click-through traffic from syndicating sites. Three steps to get started...

What our Customers are saying:
FeedrollPro has allowed me not only to increase traffic and revenue, but has also helped to get my RSS content into other websites with very little work. It is certainly a very valuable tool, with excellent statistics tools that allow me to follow who is reading my content." (Leo Faoro, MedPDA.net)

1. Signup

The first month is completely free so you can assess the system at no cost to make sure it meets your needs. To create an account just following the sign up links to set up the PayPal sub (no cost today) and create your account.

2. Add your RSS feeds

As soon as you have added your feeds to the system you are effectively ready to start offering your content to other web sites for syndication...

Adding your feeds to the system is very simple...just copy and paste the url for your RSS feed into the control panel (see screenshot). In addition to adding your feed you will also have a few other optional preferences you can set to control various aspects of your content in syndication:

  • Hide/Unhide each feed as required.
  • Optionally strip out all HTML from your feed. This is useful if you otherwise include some HTML formatting in your feed which might make it more difficult for potential syndication partners to format your feed to fit their own pages.
  • Upload a logo file to brand your feed in syndication. This is also an optional feature, which is great for improving visibility and brand awareness. A different logo can be set for each feed!
  • Set the update frequency for each feed. This controls how often FeedrollPro checks your news feed for updates...we can check every 15mins or once a week...it is all up to you. And we do use a conditional GET polling process, which simply means we only download your feed if a change is detected (saving you bandwidth).
  • Set the maximum number of characters to be displayed for each item in your news feed. Combined with the automatic stripping of all external links from your news feed, this is a useful way to encourage click through to your site.
  • You can syndicate up to 5 RSS news feeds with a standard account. If you have got more than five feeds just contact us to discuss a pro-rata subscription rate based on the number of feeds.
3. Promote your content to other publishers

The more syndicating partners you can find the more exposure and traffic you will get. You can opt into our directory of publishers, but you'll also need to promote your content to your own site visitors as this is where you're most likely to find potential syndication partners. Once your content is being syndicated you'll be able to track it via your FeedrollPro stats report...

The statistics provided by FeedrollPro really set us apart from any other options. Here is a screen shot:

  • Track the number of impressions for each of your news feeds in syndication. You can view this information at the domain level, aswell as drilling down to see the specific pages for each of those domains. For example, your feed(s) may be syndicated across a dozen different domains, and be displayed on any number of pages on each of those sites. FeedrollPro tracks this in detail.
  • FeedrollPro also tracks the number of clicks by domain (and page) for each feed. Divide the clicks by impressions and you have a click through ratio (CTR).
  • After reviewing the click though ratio for all your feeds you will want to know exactly which headlines are attracting visitors to your site. FeedrollPro helps with this because we track all the clicks by item, so at a glance you can see what have been the most popular items in syndication.
  • FeedrollPro hosts the bandwidth required for syndicating your news feed across an unlimited number of web pages, so on the stats page you can track how much bandwidth has been used.
  • Please note that this level of stats can only be tracked using JavaScript. Choosing to syndicate your news feed using the optional PHP code is a trade off between stats and the benefit of optimizing your syndicated news feed for the search engines.
