The latest addition to the list of online content-syndication services comes from Free Range Content: Repost.Us, a Web-based solution that debuts Tuesday, is fully automated, removing the human element and allowing publishers and content creators to share content.
However, the original content does not appear on syndicators’ sites: Repost.Us issue embed codes, loading content directly from its origination site into the reader’s browser, guaranteeing content integrity and ensuring that the original publisher remains the primary search destination.
Publishers and content creators can choose from four monetization options: embedded advertising from Repost.Us; embedded advertising from the publisher; paid syndication with tiered pricing based on number of impressions (page views); or free syndication (including open licenses such as Creative Commons).
Partners at launch include Worldcrunch, The EDGE Gay Media Network, Spot.us, and FanSided.
The CEO of Free Range, which was founded in January 2010, is John Pettitt, founder of Cybersource and Beyond.com.
