SimpleFeed Launches AI Bot Management Plugin for WordPress Publishers

Are you getting paid for your content?

SimpleFeed makes content syndication successful, ensuring our customers’ articles, images, and videos are sent to platforms such as Apple News, MSN, NewsBreak, SmartNews and others reaching new audiences beyond their own sites. Our customers enjoy increased revenue from syndication, partially offsetting declining Google and Social referral traffic. But not everyone who uses a publisher’s content is paying or sending referrals.

The new AI-based search products such as ChatGPT Search and Perplexity offer fresh distribution channels for publishers. As these products incorporate content from our publishing partners, we are keenly interested in the evolving reader experiences on these new platforms.

While we see great potential in these interactive reader experiences and encourage all publishers to understand how their brand is represented and think about how they might  participate in these environments in ways that benefit their strategy and growth.

To help you understand your site’s role in this new ecosystem, SimpleFeed has built a simple WordPress plugin. Once installed, it shows which search engine bots have visited your site, how often, and gives you the choice to allow or deny access.

You can download the AI Rights Protection plugin today. Try it out and let us know what you think.

If you’re a publisher planning to refine your distribution strategy, please get in touch. If you’re an AI or LLM seeking a partner that collaborates with hundreds of publishers and custom publishes content to your spec, drop us a line.
