Bloggers depend on an audience to become more profitable. However, unless you are blessed with unexpectedly high traffic from Google, the best way to get more visitors and expand your blog is to syndicate blog content.
As a blogger, you sell your ability to write compelling, interesting and engaging blog content. You also sell by forming a relationship with your visitors. However, you will never be able to do this if users do not have exposure to your blog.
RSS Feeds
The primary way that bloggers syndicate their content is through RSS feeds, which stands for Really Simple Syndication. Users have the ability to subscribe to an RSS feed so
they can receive the latest updates from bloggers. Life can be hectic and users can easily forget about a blog unless they subscribe to the RSS. Also, RSS feeds allow for other websites to display your content, helping expand the reach of your blog.
Guest Blogging
Bloggers often trade blog posts or guest blog for money. When a blogger guest blogs, he or she is exposed to a new audience and may attract new visitors to the RSS feed. The key to having a successful guest blog is to write content that is just as good as you place on your own bog. Guest blogging is like an audition and you want to win over the new users.
Advertisements
Online advertising is a reliable form of blog syndication. PPC programs are ideal for bloggers, since they only have to pay for the number of users who are brought to the website. However, advertisements are not always cost-effective because the advertisements will often not bring enough visitors to earn a profit through your own on-site advertisements or through a donation model. However, this is not always the case. There is also ad-supported syndication, which is where websites will allow you to syndicate your content for free. The ad-based syndication will help expose you to a larger audience.

Licensed Blog Syndication
The top bloggers can earn a profit when syndicating blog content by using licensed blog syndication. With licensed syndication, the blogs are often published on offline publishing outlets instead of being published on a website. Not only are you paid for your content, but will obtain increased exposure.
There are a large number of blog syndication outlets of various types, including:
• Alltop
• Networked Blogs
• Scribnia
• BlogBurst
• PaidContent
• SeekingAlpha
• Newstex
Some of these syndication networks charge money, some are free and some pay bloggers for their content.
Always Syndicate the Best Content
When syndicating content on other websites, you must make sure that you are syndicating the best quality content. You will be competing with different other bloggers who are also syndicating their content. For this reason, you will want to create content that is:
• Useful
• Accurate
• Unique
• Highly targeted
With the best content, you will be able to attract new visitors and will be able to gradually your blogging network and your profit.

Great list of sites to syndicate to. I just submitted my site to AllTop. I read about Demand Media as a syndication location and had a couple blogs accepted into their program.
How have you liked your results?
Hi Larry,
Like the post and the frog too. It brought smile to my face. You are completely true in saying that a syndicate can be formed only if your visible through your blog. Your primary task is to build a reader base by writing for them and making them write for you. The rest of the things shall fall in place for you. Content should be good.
