Have you "Tynt"ed your blog yet?
I had bookmarked this post last year. The information is still relevant and with the recent posts about the "cut and paste" bandits on Active Rain it seemed timely to re-blog now.
Kudos to Jim Lee the original author of the information.
What if evertime someone copied a snippet (or your whole blog posting) your blog platform automatically put a link back to your blog on the end of your material?
Think that would help your SEO? Get credit for your work? Increase your page views and traffic?
Now you can with Tynt. Tynt will create a little bit of javascript code you can paste into your blog platform (works with Blogger, Ning Network, Typepad, Wordpress, WebsiteWorks.com, and Register.com
If someone copies for example, the following from my blog: "The Second Quarter of 2009 real estate sales figures are out now along with the numbers from this past June; let’s take a look. Here’s what this past June looked like in numbers of closed sales in the greater Knoxville area."
What they actually get is this: "The Second Quarter of 2009 real estate sales figures are out now along with the numbers from this past June; let’s take a look. Here’s what this past June looked like in numbers of closed sales in the greater Knoxville area.

And when (if) the reader clicks on the embedded link it not only takes them back to your side but the copied portion is highlighted in yellow!
I copied the following information from Tynt's website describing one of the benefits.
The automatically added link back ensures you get credit for content that you have created. You can’t stop users from copying from your site but you can improve the chances of getting credit for your content.

Give it a try and see who's passing your content around the www. This will not only give you credit but boost your SEO because of the link that goes with it.
