Imagine if you could monitor every time someone copies and pastes something off your site. To make it even better, what if you can insert a backlink when you text is pasted somewhere else. It’s a great way for attribution, tracking what content is popular, and gaining some inbound links.
There is a service called Tynt Insight that allows you to do this. It’s a free service and there is even a slick reporting dashboard. You simply signup, generate your unique bit of JavaScript and insert it into your site.
One of my favorite applications on the web is a free Java application called TouchGraph Google Browser. I use it to help in everything from finding inbound link opportunities to planning a linkwheel strategy and even helps with reputation management projects.
There are a couple tools available on the TouchGraph site, but the one I use is the free TouchGraph Google Browser tool and you can find it here: http://www.touchgraph.com/TGGoogleBrowser.html
