For those of you not familiar with “Creative Commons”, it is a term coined by creativecommons.org that is used to describe photos, music, and text that are freely available to reproduce/copy on your own websites/newsletters with the only condition being that you give credit to the author of the content you are reproducing.
So basically its free content. All you have to do is provide a link to the original source.
Here are two places to search for “Free Content”
http://creativecommons.org/find/
-and-
http://search.yahoo.com/cc
For example, a Simple search for the word “SEO” produced 142,000 pages of content in Yahoo, most of which is free to use.
I’m sure many of you can think of a ways to utilize these tools. For all of you link builders out there you should seriously consider licensing your website/content with creativecommons.org. Syndication is one of the easiest and best ways to get free links.
