I get asked all the time about how to prevent people from copying content off their Websites and blogs.  Now there is a service that will have you hoping they will!

Copy Me —Please!

Tynt is a new free service that will track what is being copied off your Web and blog sites and help you drive traffic back to those sites as a result.  After you set up your free account you are given a short bit of code to add to your Website pages you want to track.  For blogs it’s actually much easier.  It shows you (or your Webmaster) how to add the code just once and which will then cover every page and post of your blog (highly suggested).

Once your site or blog is loaded in this way any time someone copies and pasts an image or text from your site / blog and pastes it into theirs, a social networking site like Facebook or even an email, it will automatically include an attribution link back to where it was copied from.  This provides a powerful and automatic way to build link backs that will drive more traffic to your site and raise its SEO positioning.  Oh, there’s one more thing.  You can even set Tynt up so that anytime someone copies and pastes your content online, it will generate a Tweet about it in your Twitter account.

Here’s a short video explaining the entire process:

So now instead of dreading that someone is “ripping you off” you can actually benefit every time they send a part of your work to their friends and associates.  BTW, feel free to copy any part of this post and forward on to others, you have my whole-hearted permission :0)
