You’ve probably run into websites that gather content on a single page from a variety of blogs and sites around the internet. Content aggregators, as we call them, keep on earning recognition among publishers and consumers, since they provide a win-win solution for all parties.
To get content for the aggregator, the website owner doesn’t have to pay publishers. Usually the only costs of running an aggregator are for technology. Content aggregators give publishers the opportunity to reach a larger audience. And users can find anything they want from a variety of providers on a single website.
So how can you break into the content aggregation market? In this article, we’ll talk about great examples of content aggregators and provide some insights on how to craft your own content aggregator platform. But first let’s answer the question: What is an aggregator?
What is a content aggregator website?
A content aggregator is a website that collects different content including news articles, social media posts, images, and videos on particular issues from around the web and makes them accessible in one place. Take Techmeme as an example. It’s a one-page news aggregator that presents a filtered summary of technology-related articles, reports, and analysis. Another great example is Feedly, a content aggregator that collects feeds from a range of sources all over the internet on a variety of topics including design, marketing, business, politics, and science.
NOTE: Content aggregation is not plagiarism. Plagiarism means using content without permission from the author. Content aggregation is presenting somebody’s work with proper credit and a link to the original source.
