When People Copy your Blog Posts… Smile!
Hey guys.
If you write a great blog post, people will share it.
Unfortunately… even your biggest fans rarely click the “Share” buttons and instead many will use the good ol' copy & paste buttons.
That used to stink, because they would run off with your content and you would get nothing in return. But now, that's changed.
In fact, as you will see, people are welcome to copy and paste my content into Facebook, email, or even forums as much as they want now – thanks to a new plugin that I've been using on this blog for a few weeks.
Here's a quick video (3 minutes) that shows you how this plugin can help you to get more traffic from your fans.
(Click on the image below to play the very short video.)

If you don't feel like watching the video, you can understand the gist by reading the sales page at the link above.
What exactly does this plugin do?
Basically, when people copy and paste your content to share via email or Facebook or even on forums, the plugin magically adds a link to your blog inside the pasted text.
Go ahead and try it.
Copy and paste part of this blog post into Facebook to see it in action. I don't mind one bit. 😉
Warmly,
Nicole Dean

December 7, 2012 at 2:46 pmAwww. Thanks, Debbie! Videos aren’t my strong suit, but, I figure I’m really good at one thing – keeping them short! 😉
Appreciate you taking the time to make me smile.

December 5, 2012 at 4:28 pmVery cool indeed! Thanks for the share. I’ve copy/pasted some of your text to my Facebook biz page, and voila! Works like a charm and I’m happy to share it with my peeps.

December 7, 2012 at 2:47 pmIt is slick. I love it. 🙂
Sometimes the best things in live are the simplest. I like this much better than disabling people from being able to copy. Let them…. as long as my link tags along. 😉

December 5, 2012 at 6:35 pmThis looks great. When I copy a post on my blog, I always include the author and web address. This would shortcut the process. I was wondering if you knew if the plugin worked on the Empower network blog? Not all plugins do.
Thanks again for sharing.
Nicole
December 7, 2012 at 2:48 pmHey Liz.
I have no idea about the Empower blogs. I’m sorry. There is a link to contact support on the bottom of that page. Ask before you buy. 🙂
Hope that helps!

December 6, 2012 at 11:19 amThanks for the tip and the video! One thing that I have gotten in the habit of doing is being sure to add an internal link in my blog posts, if you get scraped, at least you have a link pointing back to your website. The Yoast SEO plugin also drops a credit and link at the end of your RSS feeds which is totally cool. Thanks!
Nicole
December 7, 2012 at 2:49 pmSMART! 🙂
One time, a few years ago, I found a lady who was copying and pasting my blog posts onto her site and putting her name on them. The funny part was that my affiliate links were all still in the posts. Weird. I didn’t quite know what to make of that one. lol.
Thanks Shannon. Great points.

December 6, 2012 at 12:35 pmI’ve seen this & was wondering about it. Very cool.
Does this work with WordPress sites?
Thanks.

December 7, 2012 at 12:03 pmFound it, it does work with WordPress so I grabbed a copy.
Thanks Nicole.

December 7, 2012 at 2:49 pmOh good. 🙂 I’m glad you found the answer.
Thanks, Debra!

December 6, 2012 at 1:51 pmDefinitely grabbing this plugin! What an awesome tool to make sure you get links and traffic out of these shares.

December 7, 2012 at 3:12 amWow Nicole that is a great thing to have on a blog or website. I need to get this when I get my site up and running which is not easy for me since I’m new to this. But I think this is a great plugin. Thanks Nicole.

Nicole
December 7, 2012 at 2:51 pm🙂 Glad you like it, Patricia. Best wishes with your new site.

December 7, 2012 at 10:19 pmHi Nicole,
Thank you very much for sharing this cool plugin with us. First time I’ve ever seen something like this. Definitely worth implementing into my blog… and at the price they’re offering it at, can’t beat that 🙂

Thanks! I got this based on your recommendation.
It really does work! I was updating my Amazon profile and grabbed a few paragraphs from my own website. “Imagine my surprise” when at the end of my profile, I saw “to read the rest of this post . . .” LOL
Cheers, Anita
Nicole
December 8, 2012 at 4:11 pmlol. You found the one drawback to the plugin, Anita.
When I copy from my own blog into reports and into new posts – I have to keep an eye out for that. 🙂

December 10, 2012 at 4:27 pmGreat plugin! Me being me, I went to a bunch of the sites mentioned in the sales video just to test if they were really using it lol.
I like… very much! Just bought myself a copy via your link. It’s so cool that you get the developers license with it too!
Thank you for bring this to our attention.
Beth
December 15, 2012 at 6:31 amThis looks like a great tool. I’m wondering though, what’s to keep people from just deleting the link that gets added to what they copied?
Anita Hampl
January 9, 2013 at 4:58 pmHi Beth,
Nothing prevents that, but I think the idea is that people who are not paying attention (including people who are recklessly stealing content to populate their own spammy sites) won’t always notice it.
And the good guys either won’t mind, or they’ll reword it a bit to give you proper acknowledgement.
HTH,
Anita

December 19, 2012 at 8:11 amI have been all over the web and WordPress, and have never heard of anything like this. Absolutely brilliant!

January 3, 2013 at 10:46 amHi Nicole,
Wow, that’s a great plugin to use on your blog. There are a lot of people who steal content from blogs, and use it on their on sites without giving any credit.
Does it have any tracking or analytics features to see how many people copied content from your website. How many links did you get with this plugin installed, just curious to know.
Have a great day Nicole.

February 6, 2013 at 3:47 pmOh Geez.
Now I don’t want to copy any of your content anymore. 🙂
Just kidding. Great Post Nicole and thanks for the plug-in.
I’m still wondering when we’re going to meet since I’m in Pensacola too.

February 21, 2013 at 1:23 pmThank you Nicole. Thank you for the great video as well as the plug-in. I am going to go grab it now.

March 28, 2013 at 5:38 pmThanks for this post Nicole. The install was easy – no need to pay extra for someone to do it for you. Gotta say I didn’t like their “in your face” marketing style, and always trying to squeeze more out of me along the way.
Have you tried any of their other products?

May 15, 2013 at 12:29 pmThanks for the info Nicole.
And I just LOVE it when you mention posts like this in your emails at a later date. I missed it when you first published it 🙂
Nicole
May 15, 2013 at 12:39 pmWow. That’s good to know. 🙂 Glad you like it!
See you in August, I hope!

May 15, 2013 at 12:47 pmI’m signed up, but not sure yet if I’m going. My daughter leaves for college in the middle of August so I’m feeling a little clingy. Not sure if I want to give up those precious few days. Of course, all she want to do is shop if I’m at home 🙂
Nicole
May 15, 2013 at 12:50 pmOohhh. Yeah. Family first.
Well, if she starts driving you batty as all teens do, maybe I’ll still get to see you. lol.
Hugs,
