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.

Tagged for now and thanks for posting, AcidX. I had not seen this before!
Yes. It works with basically anything copied from your forum that contains over 50 characters. Text, images, HTML code - regardless of it's location on the forum. That's why you need to add the script in the header.

You're welcome

I just looked at your source and the code appears waaaaaaay at the bottom. I'm pretty sure you put it in the footer by accident.

PHP Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
if(
document.location.protocol=='http:'){
 var 
Tynt=Tynt||[];Tynt.push('a2WvsCdvar4jEradbi-bpO');Tynt.i={"ap":"Leggi tutto: ","as":"Articolo su Hardwaregame.it","t":true};
 (function(){var 
s=document.createElement('script');s.async="async";s.type="text/javascript";s.src='http://tcr.tynt.com/ti.js';var h=document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];h.parentNode.insertBefore(s,h);})();
}
</
script> <div class="google_adsense_footer" style="width:728px; margin:0 auto; padding-top:1em"> <script type="text/javascript"><!--

Well, since this is not a modification, and we already have this thread as an article here - I suppose you should delete the other threads claiming to be a mod opened in vb 3.5, vb 3.6, vb 3.7 and vb 3.8 template modifications forum by extreme-gaming. No need of an article and 4 additional threads about it.

Thanks.

Stop trying to win one over on someone else. You just look childish.

Now, as for this mod, whatever you want to call it, it's a good concept but it's a big fail. If someone copies content from your site to post on their own site or forum etc, then who in the hell is going to keep the link to the original site? I can tell you that no-one will. Until you provide a method to prevent people from removing the link this will be pointless.

Certainly. But the point of the mod is not to protect your content from being copied, but to gain more visitors and gather statistics. Watch the demo video. You missed the point.

I never said anything about protecting content did I so stop assuming what I mean.

No-one on the internet will copy / paste and leave the link back to the original site when they are putting it on their own site or forum.

How can this gain more vistors when people will just remove the link when they paste the content?
