How to protect content on website ?

How do you protect your website against content theft ? I came across a site called Tynt...Did anybody try that ? Does it work ? Are there any free services online ? I buy articles and maintain 100 percent unique content..I just want to protect my blog/website against content theft. Kindly suggest.

Thanks in advance!

    If the content is online, it can be scraped If a person wants the content bad enough.

    You can try to minimize the damage with domain branding (ex: image watermarks, internal links in first sentence of content, etc...).

      Another graduate of the Urban Myth School of Internet Marketing, I see: they're certainly out in force, at the moment.

      (Not only is the statement completely wrong, but it's even trivially easy for anyone sufficiently interested to check it out fairly quickly for themselves and prove that it's wrong).

    I haven't heard of Tynt, but it depends on what you are using to build your website. It is Wordpress, there are a lot of plugins to protect your content, such as Wishlist Member, MemberSonic, S2 Member, and Magic Members. They create membership sites for registration only users.

    All Tynt does is add link details to your content in the event that somebody cuts and pastes it. So for example if you cut and paste text of their main page it ends up in the clipboard looking like this:

    -------
    Tynt inserts the page URL when your content is pasted into emails and social sites. Your traffic increases and SEO improves as more URLs become fixed links.

    Follow us: @tynt on Twitter
    ---------

    Fairly easy to remove those links.

    The only other option is put your content in a members only area. ( Making sure that you allow Google bot a membership crawl ).

    Just posted this on another thread.

    I use Tynt also and find it hugely helpful. My site is related to spirituality and my articles are huge, I couldn't believe what was being copied just even in the first 24 hours. Even my "about us" page was copied. I followed some of my articles and found that they were being dissected and commented on on other sites, totally taken out of context (without me having a say). Not cool.

    I now have a right-click disable AND Tynt. I know right-click is not fool proof because you can easily get around it if you know how. My clientele, however, has no clue how to do that. Since installed the right-click disable the Tynt stats have gone down dramatically.

    I'd recommend it to anyone, especially since it's free and has great stats otherwise.

    How to protect content on website ?
    The only way to protect content on a website, is not to post it on a website at all.

      funny one

      but somehow true

      any content you have on your website is vulnerable for theft... there is no way one can protect it, some steps might be taken to somehow minimise it but not completely protect it ..

    The reality is you can not protect your content. People can copy it and use it on their website. But google is not blind and it will find site with duplicate content. So don't worry about it.
