Earlier this year, we launched our biggest update to the Sided web platform in over two years. We rebuilt the entire system from the ground up, creating our most requested feature to date. Here's the story of how this transformation came about and how it can benefit you.
Over the past two years, Sided pivoted from being a consumer app to a polling platform designed specifically for publishers. We began by embedding our highly engaging polls into article pages. As adoption grew, we developed bigger and better tools to help publishers increase engagement and ultimately boost ad revenue.
With significant changes in user privacy and third-party cookies by Google and Apple, publishers faced new challenges. We listened and identified the top three concerns:
Our embedded polls effectively addressed ad revenue and engagement issues. However, we knew we could do more to improve organic traffic.
We observed that platforms like Reddit and Quora were dominating search results, especially with the rise of AI-generated content. Search engines favor discussion forums with real engagement, making them more prominent in search rankings.
To help publishers compete, we developed an SEO-friendly version of Sided that can be white-labeled and integrated into their domains as a community site. This allows publishers to foster engagement and rich discussions on their domains in a brand-safe way, separate from their core content.
Our partners have already seen impressive results with the new Sided platform. Here are a few examples:
