A blog post aggregator collects articles that authors submit directly and generally publishes them unless they contain problems such as excessive product promotion or offensive content. It offers a low-effort route to additional exposure, distinct from a selective publication’s editorial gatekeeping. section 15.3 section 15.0
Use this practical test before cross-posting:
- Choose an aggregator when the goal is broader reach, not prestige or intensive editorial review. section 15.0 section 15.3
- Copy and paste the article only after checking company rules for social media and community engagement. section 15.0
