Bloggapedia Syndication

One of the major blog catalog services, Bloggapedia, is teaming up with some other companies to offer syndication of blogs. I signed up mine, so if you're interested in this sort of thing, you can watch for The Wordsmith's Forge, Gaiatribe: Ideas for a Thinking Planet, and Hypatia's Hoard of Reviews to appear in that format. This is the Bloggapedia text on the topic:

What is syndication and what does it mean for me and my blog?

Essentially, it means there are websites out there that would like to offer your blog content for download on devices like smartphones and e-readers, for a small fee. Because these websites are looking for the best of the best in blog content, they've partnered with Bloggapedia If you choose to allow us to syndicate your blog you'll receive a 30% royalty on the profit from the syndication of your blog once the submission of your blog listing is approved.

Whenever someone downloads your blog content onto their device via Bloggapedia's syndication service, we'll pass on 30% of Bloggapedia's revenue from that sale to you! Payments are made quarterly; minimum payout $25. Funds will accrue in your account until the minimum payout amount is reached.</span></span>

They rejected my http://ravanoid.blogspot.com/ blog. I guess I wasn't "regular" enough for them. Also, their categories sucked rocks.

People definitely prefer blogs that update regularly and/or frequently. Most successful blogs update at least once a week. However, I could see a subscription being particularly useful for a sporadical because then you wouldn't have to keep checking it.

In submitting my blogs to various blog catalogs, I have discovered that some have great category options and some have little of use. The better ones are usually getting their ideas from the users -- especially sites that let you make your own subcategory under established top categories, then if a subcat gets enough blogs, they promote it to topcat.
