Here at FitDummies we rate quality content for our viewers. In that intention we frequently curate or excerpt content from high quality sources on the internet.

The very internet itself was developed on the structure of linking, sharing, and recommending good content from other sources online. Curation means discovering good, well-written, and truly relevant content for our readers.

By picking content from your site, we are giving it our vote of approval. This not only means that we excerpt your content, we also give it our highest recommendation, and we encourage our readers to view your content on your website with a direct link back your source material.

Our curation is cooked up to send our readers to your site so you get new visitors exposed to your top quality content.

Because it was impressive in some way, we curated your content.

If you choose us not to curate content from your web site, just contact us, and request your story be removed.

We will quickly fulfill your take down request, and put you on our list of sites never to excerpt from.

Most websites and publishers are extremely willing to receive additional visibility and readership for their content as a result of our curation.

Curation Policy:

Most online publishers recognize the value of having their articles and stories:

quoted
commented on
debated
discussed
linked to
have new readers exposed to their articles

Social sharing of good content stretches out its reach, impact, traffic levels, and ultimately the profit of the original publisher’s website.

We are excerpting your content to inform our visitors, and to point then to the original source of the excerpt.

We want our readers to discover and visit your content, and your website. We want you to be more than pleased that we quoted, referenced or utilized your content.

“Fair Use” standards, practices, and legal decisions are still evolving online. We like to think our standards are a cut above the strictly legal interpretation of fair use.

We have higher standards than “Fair Use.” We strive for “elated Use.”.

Just let us know if you are not satisfied to be excerpted and linked to by our site. We will immediately correct the situation.

We excerpt your content the exact same way we hope others will curate our content.

Feel free to excerpt it as generously as you wish if you like a story on our site. In return please just give us clear credit, link back to the original page on our site, and some encouragement for interested readers to visit our original web page.

Take as much of our content as you think your readers will enjoy. Just link, credit, and encourage the reader to visit the original site.

That is what we do.
That is what built the internet.
That is what social sharing refers.
Everyone benefits with shared content following this policy.

Most Importantly …

Sharing and curation and excerpting standards are still evolving online. Our standards of may very well differ from yours.

, if you want us to be even more generous with links and credit let us know.. Let us know if you feel your story has had too much excerpted.

We will fix it rapidly.
