Article search criteria

Now, comes the part where you want to narrow your search results for them to be as accurate as possible. Contentstudio allows you the freedom to choose your articles based on keywords, matching phrases and domain names. Similarly, you can block content in your feed by excluding the aforementioned attributes.

Let us explore some example to visualize how these options work

Excavating the right content

In the image above, “stocks” and “currencies” are keywords to be included, and “bloomberg.com” and “wsj.com” to fetch the content from. Similarly,  we inserted “social media” in the exclude keywords section and “nytimes.com” in the exclude domain.

For this example, we chose “OR” combination for my keywords and domains. With this option, the search radius is widened and produce results that match both keywords and domain.

Whilst using OR option between keywords and domains, thousands of search results are returned as the system is looking for keywords as well as searching content from the mentioned domains. From the image above, a total of 95.2k results match our criteria.

If we run the same search, but this time with “AND” combination instead of OR, the results are quite different

Using the AND/ OR option

Searching with “AND”, the system looks for keywords in the titles of the content mentioned in the domains i.e. bloomberg.com and wsj.com. This way the search is more refined. As seen from the image above, the “AND” option reveals 940 results.

Let’s explore some more options for refining content search.

Finetuning the option will narrow down search even further. Options such as Post length, region, language, age, and social engagement have pinpointed 10 results from 940.
The social engagement option sorts out results based upon the number of time it was shared, hence distinguishing popularity.

Content Rewriting

Contentstudio provides its users with the unique option to translate the shortlisted content into other languages. In addition to that user can automatically rewrite the blog post using integrated content spinners. ContentStudio integrates with WordAI, ChimpRewriter, and SpinRewriter. We also have our own built-in content spinner.

Add Original Source

It’s always preferred to mention the original source of an article to add up a value for its author.

Remove Anchor Links
Many writers do not want to have any links in the article description, you have an option to remove the anchor links for the content that is published to your blog

Scheduling your post
Like in all other post scheduling features in contentstudio, articles can be published on your blog either is a recurring or custom timetable.

Scheduling your Blog post

If you choose the recurring option, as it is shown in the image above, your post will be published 1 day from the date/ time of creation of this campaign. After that, there will be a gap of 24 hours and the next blog will be published.
