A news based blog can be a great way to get good traffic and improve SEO visibility. But the problem is the constant effort required from your part to get the fresh news flowing through your blog. Well there are lots of sources like BBC and CNN. But they have strict copyright laws attached. So where do you get some free news that can shown in your blog? Here are some of it:
1) Wikinews All the news articles from this site is free for your use. Sometimes they may use pictures from other sources but often their content is free. You can edit and paste all the content provided you give proper attribution to the source. The copyright notice should also be included in the artilce.
2) voanews: Articles from Voice of America is also free for use in websites provided you provide adequate info regarding the source.
3)newsnorthamerica and newscanada. These two sister sites have a relaxed copyright statement. Their copyright notice reads:
Articles are provided free of charge. Credit of usage must be attributed to News North America with (NNA) at beginning of an article or – News North America at the end. Any source/sponsor of the information quoted in the text must also be identified as presented. Images are only to be used with corresponding editorial copy. Usage of News North America articles constitutes your acceptance of these terms and an agreement between you and News North America.
4)Another great free source for new sites are press releases. Many of these press releases are plain advertisements and many others are just not newsworthy. Moreover, it is a good idea to rewrite a press release before putting it up in your website.
5)Press Information Bureaus of government and large corporations offer good quality news along with photographs. Although many of their news items are highly twisted.
6)Many official government websites also do not have a copyright tags attached to them. Moreover, many of them just don't bother about such issues.
7)Besides these, there are many sites that offer syndicated content, or news tickers. Remember that these sites are not keen on incresing traffic to your blog/website. They are more interested in building traffic to their own sites. So avoid syndicated content from most of these sites.
Do you know any particular site?
