NOTE:
This modification works for all versions of vBulletin.

DESCRIPTION:
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.

Tynt Insight 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.

Each time a user pastes content from your forum into an email, blog or website, Tynt automatically adds an URL link back to your site?s original content. When someone clicks that URL, they are directed back to your site and see the original content.

This drives incremental traffic to your site when your content is shared without your knowledge while maintaining a consistent user experience. Make link-backs to your content effortless for readers and gain new insight into user engagement with Tynt Insight. With this modification, you can bring up to 40% more visitors to ceratin pages on your forum.

INSTALLATION GUIDE:

1) Register your domain;
2) Go to "Link setup" and customize your attribution link;
3) Click on "Get your script" to get the code;
4) Go to your forum admin panel > Open Styles & templates > Edit header > paste the code on top of everything > Save.

Optionally, you can test the code here, or try it out yourself!

VIDEO DEMO:
You can find the video demo here.

Registered domain, installed and testing ... :up:

Interesting concept .....

I notice that when our members use copy and pastes within our own site, this mod picks up and shows the attribution data as well ....

I wonder how much this slows down a site, or if their server goes down, does it drag down ours as well?

Regards,
Doug

So, if you made a thread about it, that automatically means that you're the only one that can publish the use of Tynt on vBulletin? Give us a break mate, and chill, i've never even read your thread before, nor do I ever read the Private coders forum - I just use Tynt on all my sites and thought it would be a nice idea to share this interesting tool.

It is a mod, a simple and useful third party integration mod.

Tell you what, you give me credit where credit is due and that'll be the end of that.

People don't just go running around stealing other peoples ideas over at vb.org.

None. The script is located on tynt's servers. There is no additional load on your forum.

Great, maybe you can get the proper attention now. Jesus Christs.

Please stop ruining the thread. And for the last time, stop convicting me of "stealing" something "yours". Basically, you're the one that copy/pasted the whole thread from me. Every single word. Now THAT - everyone can see. You really do leverage the benefit of copy/paste

Moderators, please be kind and take proper actions.

Oh I suppose it was just "coincidence" then that you "just so happened" to make this thread only a mere 5 days after what I posted in the linked thread found in the attachments and my earlier posts.

It is coincidence, believe it or not.

And now that I saw your thread, I really don't like it that you decided it to "keep it secret". It's a free service, and you're not that only one that knows about it's use. I published the mod after searching for a similar thread in all the forums here on VB.org. The search did not provide any results. I respect other people's work. But this is NOT your work. It's a public and free service.

Hey everyone, clap your hands for "extreme-gaming" discovering Tynt first :claps_hands:

Reported.

Respectfully, I'm going to let a MOD here decide this. We do not need the two of you arguing this out.

Agreed, I already reported the first post some 20 minutes or so ago.

That's the right thing to do. A MOD should definitely clean this mess up.

But we're not arguing. He is attacking me and accusing me of stealing a (guess what) FREE integration tool.

Let's see:
- He basically threw the "punch" and convinced me of stealing something free;
- He copied all the text (including thread name) from me after I posted the modification, and started posting new threads on all forums claiming this to me his mod;
- He's continuously ruining the thread with his "attention" comments;

I do not mind him "stealing" the whole mod from me and posting it on other VB version forums (because the users deserve this tool) - he does. Having attention problems is not what we need atm.

Hi, this looks interesting but have a question.

Does it work for literally all content, from threads, posts, articles, etc? everything on the website?

Tagged for now and thanks for posting, AcidX. I had not seen this before!
