Through SEO-specific headlines and customizable SEO URLs and descriptions, RebelMouse enables customers to quickly create posts that are ready to win new SEO search terms right away.

Controlling the Entire Content Experience

RebelMouse allows you to control all aspects of your content: headlines, images, body text, links, social sharing copy, and SEO headlines. This enables editors to weave and match keywords throughout your site, earning legitimacy with search engines.

Search Discovery

RebelMouse enables editors to define a search phrase(s) that they want to win, which then returns Google's first-page results for that specified term. A checkbox option is provided so editors can externally link to selected articles; a proven SEO practice rewarded by Google.

SEO Meta Tagging

RebelMouse enables SEO tag optimization (i.e. title, keywords and description tags). Additionally, ROAR properties facilitate custom Open Graph (OG) and Twitter Card tagging which ensures optimal sharing of content across all social networks.

Title and URL Choices

RebelMouse creates smart URLs with the keywords from your content titles. Make strategic choices for all content titles to ensure this workflow is optimized.

Automatic Tagging

When media is added to a post via the Content Scraper tool, the 3rd party media's meta tags are scraped, then presented to the Editor as optional tags for that individual post.

Actionable Integrated Search Referral Data

The entry creation and editing tools encourage search phrase development which is translated to optimized content elements like custom permalinks and optimized meta tags. In your Insights dashboard, you can see what search terms are driving traffic to your site.

Canonical URLs

This feature for posts help site owners eliminate self-created duplicate content, which is penalized by search engines.

Page Speed

Page speed is factored into SEO performance and RebelMouse sites are faster than BuzzFeed, Huffington Post and UpWorthy. This is attributed to a leaner, more versatile infrastructure. All sites also load quickly on mobile, increasing engagement and virality.

In 2022, Publishers Take Back Control With Subscription Success

subscription model for publishers

Users are ready to pay for content that delivers

The Rise of the Mature User

It's been a long and winding path, but in 2022 the subscription model continues its upward trajectory as a top revenue strategy for publishers of all sizes. The tug of war between platforms and publishers reached its peak in the last few years of the previous decade, leaving users desperate for a modern user experience that's clear of any clutter from the duopoly. This is why intelligent paywall models are a top choice for users looking to consume content right from the source. When done correctly, the strategy can work for any type of media. The New York Times, a frequent showpiece example of the power of paywalls, is constantly reporting record-busting subscription numbers, with 5.7 million digital subscriptions in 2020.

And it all makes perfect sense. The subscription model eliminates the middleman — such as the platforms — so readers get the experience and content they want, and publishers get the cash they need.

The Subscription Model Is Taking off and Competition Has Never Been Steeper

The post-pandemic user landscape is still ripe for subscription revenue

You can get a subscription for everything these days. Whether it’s a cheese-of-the-month club or annual access to read your favorite content, the subscription-based model has continued to gain steam in recent years. In fact, the market for digital subscriptions is valued at $650 billion according to a new report from Lineup, a subscription management solution.

The power of the subscription model has been growing since even before the COVID-19 crisis began, and isn’t showing any signs of slowing as we enter a post-pandemic landscape. According to What’s New in Publishing, Gannett reported a 46% year-over-year increase in digital subscriptions in November 2021, putting them at 1.5M total subscribers. Hearst grew its digital subscriptions by 50% in 2021.

But subscriptions aren’t just for big name publishers. Users in 2022 are ready to pay up for legacy names and new media companies alike, as long as it’s for an experience that’s beneficial to them, reliable, and free of the clutter that can come from third-party platforms. Speaking of platforms, even TikTok and Instagram have started to gauge their audiences’ temperature on subscription experiences. So, the competition has never been steeper for publishers looking to build a subscriber base. Unfortunately, launching a simple paywall may not be enough.

Engagement on the Rise: Why It’s Your Ticket to Loyalty

web traffic

New data from Chartbeat shows engagement time is increasing despite traffic dips

Getting users to your site is only half the battle. For publishers, it’s now become more critical to focus on how long those users stay on your site — and if they ever come back. Q1 2022 data analyzed by Chartbeat found that engagement is on the rise, even though metrics like pageviews and mobile traffic experienced a decline.

Chartbeat measures engaged time by the “amount of time that readers spend actively engaging with a page — scrolling, clicking, or moving their mouse.” With this in mind, their data showed that most regions in the world registered an average of 30 seconds of engaged time on site in Q1. Readers in Latin America led the results with an average of 34.7 seconds of engaged time.
