Free Content At The SyndiGate Marketplace

In partnership with Mochila, SyndiGate offers a marketplace for syndicated content from hundreds of leading content providers. Our marketplace includes millions of high-quality, rights-managed articles, photos, and videos covering everything from breaking domestic and international news to feature stories on topics such as health, business, entertainment, fashion, sports, science, tech and more. SyndiGate provides web publishers with the opportunity to build their businesses; content owners new markets for their content; and advertisers access to highly engaged quality audiences.

The multi-billion dollar content syndication industry is undergoing a radical transformation because the legacy model doesn't meet the needs of today's web publishing industry. Demand for online access to quality syndicated content has grown exponentially. Content consumers are spending an increasing amount of time searching for content online by visiting an increasing number of sites (i.e., "fragmentation"), creating new opportunities for web publishers.

Both traditional and new online publishers face the same challenge: provide a compelling content experience for users--an experience that attracts an audience and increases engagement. Professional content is expensive to create and expensive as well as difficult to acquire. Licensing high-quality, rights-managed content is largely impossible today for web publishers because it requires expensive subscription contracts, the ability to negotiate numerous deals and integration technology. Whether you are a traditional publisher faced with cutting costs or a new online brand built on a lean web business model, you face the same difficulties in acquiring the content you need to compete for audience. Until now. SyndiGate is free to join and to use; advertising revenue is shared among content owners, publishers, and SyndiGate. While web publishers of all sizes and types can become SyndiGate members, our focus is on the mid-tier and large publishers.
