Findout What Is Copied From Your Site: Tracer
23 Feb
Tracer is a free web-based service which offers a new type of website-analytics function. It tracks "what’s being copied from your website (including images)".
Besides keeping the logs, it also adds the "copied website’s" link to the information copied, which may help the content to spread in a better (than nothing) copyrighted way & to get new visitors.
Most importantly, the application helps analyzing which parts of the content is more copied & more important in the eyes of the visitors.
Usage is very simple. Just include a "one-line" script to the website to be tracked & that’s all.
P.S. Tracer is currently in beta status & accepts new accounts periodically.

I’m curious how they define “copied” – does that mean direct linking to your content?
If someone saves your image to their hard drive, then uploads that to their site- can this track that?
And how would it know they copied from you rather than the other way around?
@Chris,
It is not possible to track where the copied info is used.
But it is possible to track which part of the content is copied that may help better analyzing the content itself (added a small update to the post about this).
This is a neat little tool. I can’t stand it when you spend some time writing copy for your site and someone comes by and just takes it from you.
