For every content item published in the MyST Plat-form™, multiple pathways to find or discover the content are created.These pathways are often created as additional pages that referencecontent items. Some pathways are links that are automatically broad-cast to search engines upon creation of the content. And other typesof discovery pathways are syndication documents that are registeredwith special search engines. Many MyST services and techniques con-spire and integrate to ensure the investment in social content is mul-tiplied many times.Over time, the pathways grow in number and increase the likelihoodthat search engines will index them. As the body of influence ex-pands, so do the opportunities for search recommendations and otheropportunities for greater discovery.
