Sided

Sided is a polling, community and forum software designed to increase audience engagement and offer publishers valuable insights. The platform uses AI to create polls, ensuring that content is fresh and that users are more likely to participate.

Sided includes several features to increase engagement:

• Embeddable Polls: Add polls to article pages to encourage audience participation and drive traffic to your community site. Customize call-to-actions to send users to specific pages.
• Infinite Polling: Keep visitors engaged for longer periods (30-60+ seconds) with a continuous polling experience.
• Lead Generation: Create custom lead gen forms and curated experiences to capture more email addresses, or require email address to see poll results and comment.
• Email Click Rate Boost: Add polls to email campaigns to encourage audience members to return to your website or community forum.
• Monetization Options: Add existing advertising demand to polls for new revenue opportunities.

The platform's AI technology ensures that polls are generated daily and matched with content on your site, so you don't have to worry about maintenance and keeping users interested. Other features include:

• User Profiles: Public personas for users, giving publishers, advertisers and partners a deeper understanding of their audience.
• Notifications: Keep users engaged with email, SMS, and push notifications for comments, replies, follows, and more.
• Moderation Tools: Manage conversations with muting, blocking, approvals, and other moderation controls.
• Analytics & Reporting: Track poll statistics and revenue to better understand content performance.

Sided is designed to help improve your website's SEO by making polls appear as discussion forum listings, adding rich content to each page, and hosting Q&A sessions that can appear in search results. For custom domains, a polls sitemap.xml is provided to submit to major search engines.
