by Himanshu on November 1, 2009 · 12 comments

Bloggers usually face lack of ideas on their blog, sometimes they found nothing to write because of lack of ideas. This might be  a critical situation because daily blog update is very necessary for search engines optimization. If you run out of content ideas to publish on your blog you can try news aggregators sites  for new ideas.

The main advantage of news aggregators is that all the contents are fresh and top in their niche. There websites pull the data from popular blogs, news sources and social media websites.

You can track for a particular keyword with the help of search bar given on these aggregator websites. Also you can search the most popular page i.e. front page of these websites. But note that don’t try to copy the contents. You can publish the article on your blog by giving proper author credit for all the articles.

Great post Himanshu. I’m a big fan of Digg and been using it to grab the latest Tech post. Another one which is my fav is Stumble upon, since popular tech posts there give lots of innovative ideas. This post deserve a stumble and tweet.

For me, the best sites cover specific niches. Do it all sites like Digg don’t do anything well. I prefer japundit for news on Japan (I’m Japanese), Sphinn for marketing news, socialnews.biz for business news and killerstartups for info on startups.

I love the list. Techmeme is so good for tech news as well as slashdot. I love the niche sites. For business, I use http://socialnews.biz and I’m a programmer and use designbump a bunch. I love social news but generally only use sites with a narrower focus.

Is Google News really considered a social news aggregator? There’s not really anything social about it.
