Tynt: Leveraging the copying and pasting of your website content for search optimisation

Tynt is an interesting piece of technology that deals with people copying text from your web site. The software essentially adds a backlink to the copied text that is also trackable. The result is that when people copy the text, more often that not they will also paste your link.
 
The benefits of this technology are pretty obvious, more back links which increases traffic and aids SEO, as well as additional analytics to help you better understand your site content.
 
The company has a patent pending on the technology and it is apparently already used by thousands of sites. It is free and the total javascript payload is only approximately 12k. Worth a try, particularly for content rich sites ...

Adobe to Buy Omniture For $1.8 Billion

Adobe has announced the planned acquisition of Omniture, a leading web analytics software / solution provider. This is an interesting purchase for Adobe and a lot of analytics people out there will be wondering how this is going to change their landscape. Traditionally tracking flash has been a bit of a pain, you can bet that will change if this deal goes through. If it doesn't go through, Omniture will be paying $64 million for the privilege of withdrawing from the deal, but seeing as it's already progressed to a public announcement, you can probably bet it's going to go through.
