MyNewsroom Content Curation Feature
Taking the SHOOT NewsPage embed feature to the next level, the Newsroom feature allows SHOOT Members to create and manage an embeddable list of SHOOT Articles, SPW Releases, and curate content from third party websites, blogs, social sites – similar in concept to creating a video playlist on YouTube or Vimeo and embedding elsewhere on the web.  Setting up your MyNewsroom, consisting only of published SHOOT news & features articles, SPW Releases and curated content that you've created (can be embedded HTML web page or blog) is as easy as copying our <iframe> code snippet and pasting the snippet into the desired location on your website. Primarily used to include resources from other domains, the <iframe>’s strength is that the embedded code is ‘live’ and immediately syncs with the parent document. This gives you the ability to create, manage and display your own custom, up-to-the-minute, News Page on your website. MyNewsroom also provides an RSS feed URL which can be used instead of iframe code when not appropriate such as emailing using Mailchimp, Constant Contact, etc. PR|Agency level members can create and manage a NewsRoom for each of your clients all in one place.

SHOOT SmartLink Feature helps elevate your SEO Rankings
Another feature included with three of the four membership levels is the SHOOT Smartlink feature that finds all instances, in the future and past, of a company or talent name in all SHOOT databases and embeds a hyperlink to either your MySHOOT Profile page or your own web or social page. This can be useful for our members SEO PageRank because links coming into a webpage (i.e. your MySHOOT page or website homepage) from high authority site (i.e. SHOOTonline) helps a page's SEO rankings by adding a vote of recommendation toward your site to search bots and is an important factor in determining a webpage's search ranking.
