Get Automatic Back-Links from Those who Copy from Your Blog

Its so many times you have came across the exact copies of the contents from other sites & without any back-links or read more.. links. Taking some part of the post is allowed only when a proper credit is given to the author in the form of read more.. or original here.. links.

But what if the credit is missing even after mention the content. Here, Tracer tool can help track such situations.

Tracer is a free tool that inserts a short piece of code to your pages. It also helps you monitor & track down  what content your users find most engaging. If any part of your page is copied, it adds a link back to your site to the copied content. Of course, the link might be manually removed but most thieves never care to.

The installation is really quick:

1. Register
2. Get the script and put it before </body>in page source.
 3. Test your script.

Once you installed the script, you can test it yourself. Just copy a part of the content form your blog & paste it to Wordpad or MS-word 0r any editor. As soon as you paste that copied content you will find an automatic link back to your site to the copied content. You can see the image below which I tested myself.

Tracer’s website put up things with a very attractive design & interface, allows you to track & monitor stats related to copy cases.

So, do you think are there any other ways to protect your site content from being copied? Share with us your views & comment.

  • I have 2 blogs and I have noticed that posts from both blogs are showing up on some different websites. But the have the name of my blog and when I posted that article. They're not claiming that they wrote it or anything, so I don't know what they're up to with my stuff. Is that legal? Should I be worried or anything?
  • If they are showing a small excerpt from your post & including a backlink for the original blog article at your blog, then its fully legal.
  • Thanks for informing about Tracer! I will use it from my Next post.
  • Well nice tool :)
    Can this work on Autocontent Generators ???
    Because many thieves use wordpress automatic content plugins which generates content based on the feed url given to them.

    Thanks for informing Riddhi
  • No it will not. It is based on direct copy-paste actions because the script is enabled each time anything is copied.
    Since Auto Content Generator plugin relay on the feed Url of any blog so the content are suggested for that feed that actually is free from this tracer-script.
  • ok is there any way to from which we can beat these auto content generators???
    Thanks for replying :) :)
