Free links to your site when people cut and paste your content using Tynt Insight

I recently discovered this cool new tool called Tynt Insight which basically tracks who is copying your content from your site. This is being used by many big sites to protect their content. The Daily Mail are even using this to reward them for creating the content they get a free link back to their site or the page where the content originated from.

The way this works is you copy a simple bit of javascript code and add this to your website. This javascript simply adds a attribution link to your page where the content was copied from. This has many benefits, some of which includes:

  • See what content is being copied, this helps you know what content on your site is interesting and popular with real-time reporting
  • More traffic and more page views as you’ll attract other visitors from those links back to your site
  • Better Search ranking because you’ll have more referral links to your site
  • Improved Content Visibility with a useful auto tweet tool

Apparently some sites are getting over 1000 links back to their site each day.

Have any other Affiliates used Tynt Insight? Feel free to test this out by copying the content of this article and paste this into your blog site :)
