Track Infringements and Copyright Violations
How to find out about Copyright violations? Or how to track your stolen content?
Tags or Content
You have the possibility to either add a specific tag to all of your posts and track that tag or you could add to each post a particular word or phrase which only exists on your creations.
The idea is good, however you don’t want to mess up your content on your site with a meaningless code or phrase and you don’t want to define a a code which is easy to detect and to remove.
Digital Fingerprint is a solution
A Digital Fingerprint is a secret unique insert into your posts. There are very sophisticated systems to implement and to track such fingerprints but to keep it simple: we can just add a secret phrase to our feeds and have them printed out on the receiving end. Google and other Search tools will then track the expression for us.
Here is an example: I will add a Digital Fingerprint to this post and then track it. I have checked Google by doing a narrow search on my key phrase and there is zero result.
My Fingerprint for this exercise is the key-phrase: Sunny weather in Vouliagmeni.
In a few hours we will track this post on Google and see where it ended up.
