Content Syndication
• Free service offered by CDC• Control which pages and content from CDC.gov to use on your site and where it appears. • Present CDC content in the look and feel of your Web site • Integrate CDC web content and science with localized content• Display CDC health messages directly to employees through your intranet• Maintain visitors on your site• Gain direct access to CDC Web content without having to monitor and copy updates• No effort from your development staff to keep the pages up to date
What Is Content Syndication???
How Does it Work?
CDC provides an application programming interface (API) that enables you to display CDC.gov content on your Web site by simply adding a JavaScript widget to your site that retrieves the CDC content.
CDC assigns a unique campaign ID to you that is used for tracking and metrics purposes. This unique ID allows CDC to measure not only the traffic generated on your site, but also all traffic from your site back to CDC.gov.
How Does it Work?Other websites can display CDC content in their own template. The content is automatically updated so that when CDC updates the content, the changes are automatically made on the external website.
Content Catalog
What if I Don’t See the Page I’m Looking For?
There are several ways you can locate syndicated pages on CDC Content Syndication site:
If you know the specific URL for a CDC Web page, simply copy and paste the CDC web page URL into the Web Page Syndication Lookup box and click Find URL.
If you’re interested in a particular topic (e.g. H1N1), select the topic from the Syndicated Topics box on the Content Syndication home page. Select the All Syndication Topics link if you don’t see your topic on the home page.
If you’re looking for additional search options, click the Advanced Lookup link in the Web Page Syndication Lookup box on the Content Syndication home page.
