Tynt Tracer - Keep track of people copying stuff from your blog.

thanks for sharing this nice information.

They've done an interesting update and name change to Tynt Insight. For a limited time, the pro features are free to try, too, so if you haven't already checked them out, now is a good time: Tynt Insight Tynt Insight and Tynt Insight Pro Features

That sounds interesting. Sadly I have stopped using Tynt Tracer or Tynt Insight now because they didn't have one must have feature for me. It inserted attribution links into stuff copied from <code> tags as well.

I requested that they give the option to put the attribution link in programmatical comment statements such as

/* Copied from Experiment Garden */

Otherwise the attribution link messed up the code that people copied from my blog.

So in short I removed it because while it was nice to keep track of people copying stuff it messed up the experience for those visitors who were coming to my blog to learn coding and copy code from my blog to their programs.

Ew, yeah, that makes sense how it'd mess things up for people.

That is awesome.

There seems to be an amazing number of sites that just steal content by scraping and repost it illegally. I always notice when I'm searching for a script or something like that, you'll find 3 people with the exact same (word for word) blog article, and it's never hard to figure out who actually created it.

I wonder what the % of money made on the internet is actually legitimate and not attributed in any way to some kind of crime or scam.

That's pretty cool, I'll have to check it out.
