Tricking the people that Steal your Work

I was Reading one of my Favorite blogs the other night and the Author Miraz Jordan who is From New Zealand was talking about a Script called Tynt Tracer. This small piece of Code can be Placed on your blog and when Someone Copies and Pastes your Work it will leave an Attribution link Back to your site.I know there are people that hate tynt for some reasons and use tynt blockers but these are few. I once seen a blog post complaining about tynt because the person writing the article said his work involved copying and pasting I do not know what his work was an would have giving him a piece of my mind if he had not disabled comments on his post
Using tynt means that when someone Copies your Work the Traffic will be Redirected to you and a link to the original post will be automaticly embedded into the copied content, Which is good so far the Have caught many people copying my work. I always believed that they were reading my Blog posts not copying and pasting them and calling it their own content.
So try the Script yourself and if you are into wordpress and Mac know it has lots of Great Information on these Topics plus a Free EBook on How WordPress is put together. I myself must learn a little more about wordpress if I wish to Host my Own Blog in the Future so it could be a Good Read for people thinking of hosting of their own blogs in the future.
This is good one but "I think" will only work for self-hosted sites. I gave it a try but it didn't work =( (error: That is not a valid domain (should look like 'domain.com'). I'm on blogger and using a sub-domain. Is there a way to get around it?
The Script should work on all Blogs they have an Add to blogger they have posted this entry on the blog saying that it supports blogspot blogs

Thanks for sharing this with us. I find some of my article copied by someone else and its very anoying. I hope this this will help track them down.
Thank you For Commenting the best thing about it is that they send you the Traffic back to your Site
@ Roezer . Thanks for sharing. Got it working now. What happened was I put http://k9blogger.blogspot.com/ in the sign-up process but then I got an error. So I just put k9blogger.blogspot.com (without http:// ).. now its working. I installed the script and had tested it. Thanks a lot.
@k9blogger good to know I even had this Copied 4 times. I don't think they Read before they copy
