Increase Social Traffic

Hi guys,

I would like to suggest a way how to increase social traffic (and protect content a little bit).

What do users do when they want to copy content from your website? Exactly! They select part of content and copy it into clipboard (using Ctrl+C or through context menu). What if your website doesn’t allow to copy content until users share webpage on social media. Sounds like it is excellent feature that boosts social traffic for your website. Share to Copy Content (sorry, I can't post links, but URL is ht tp://ww w.icprojects .net/share-to-copy-content.html ) is a WordPress plugin that blocks attempts to copy content into clipboard until user shares your webpage. Instead of copying it displays popup box that suggests user to like webpage on Facebook, +1 on Google, share on Twitter. Content and size of popup box is configured through settings page. If user shared webpage, copying function become available. To see how it works please visit this page (ht tp://ww w.icprojects .net/share-to-copy-content.html) and try to copy part of content on this page.

BTW. You also can find other plugins from series "Share To ...".

Hope it will be useful for you. ;-)

    Why would it matter? People aren't allowed to copy your content by law. If they do, you can always search on google for dupes, and request google take them down from their search results for copyright infringement.

    Also, you can sue them and threaten them, so they'll just have to take the content down...

      That's a pretty neat trick!

      I'm just wondering if there's any situation where someone wants to share a line or 2 of your content with his/her friend but doesn't necessarily want to like your page.

      Then again, using this can definitely boost the likes you have.

      Great stuff. Thanks!

        If someone is really determined to CAP, all they have to do is:
        hit Ctrl+S
        save as html file
        open with IE or Firefox
        then they can CAP at will.

        Not fool-proof.
