The team at SourcedFrom will soon be launching our new web service TokenTracker.

What TokenTracker does

TokenTracker is a web service which issues electronic tokens which you can insert into your web content. TokenTracker will then track where your tokens appear on the web and generate analytics about where, when, who and unique visitors to your tokens.

Why Track?

Gain an understanding of where your content is being seen on the web and know what is popular. Assign your own custom fields to token such as tags, names, id or whatever you want – then analyze which tags and fields are being tracked. You could even submit tags automatically by combining the OpenCalais web service.

Get a token through the API

It’s easy to get tokens through the API and insert into your web content. The API is well documented explaining how to set and get your tokens. We also have a PHP class library and example which can be used within your own applications.

Do you use WordPress? Use the free plugin

We have also developed a free plugin for WordPress. When you publish a new post (or page) a token will be automatically issued and inserted into your post. TokenTracker will then track where your posts get seen on the web.

You can log into TokenTracker using your SourcedFrom Analytics account details.

We have just released a new version of our plugin for WordPress which can now read feeds for publishing.

Enter one or many feeds (rss, atom, rdf)  in the plugin ‘Settings’ -> ‘SourcedFrom Client’. Here we are using the example of the rss feed http://globalvoicesonline.org/feed/.

Browse posts/pages for publishing. We are using the example feed from Global Voices, a publishing network of bloggers, citizens and journalists around the world promoting independent content. We can publish from their site under their Creative Commons license.

View and edit the post as required.

The post published by us.

So try out our new plugin and provide us with feedback on how you are using it and what we can do to improve it. Download v0.2 > OR install from within your WP admin under ‘Plugins’ -> ‘Add New’ -> search for ’sourcedfrom’ and install.

Make your WordPress posts/pages available for re-publishing to other WordPress sites using our open-source (free) plugin for WordPress.

Restrict access to specific publishers, controlling exactly what they can access and publish.

Can license your posts with Creative Commons or by copyright all rights reserved.

The plugin can work as both a server, making your posts available for re-publishing and as a client being able to re-publish posts.

See who has re-published your posts in conjunction with our analytics service.

Can turn the publishing server off or disable the plugin at any time.

Download the plugin.

We are pleased to announce the launching of our SourcedFrom Analytics service.

Our analytics service allows content creators to track who and where your web content has been syndicated (re-published).

Our statistical service is free providing information on who, where, when and the number of unique visitors to your syndicated web content. Our detailed analytical and graphical reporting service will be on a subscription basis and is coming soon.

Signup for your free analytics account.

Our syndication platform is no longer available.

We would thank all users who joined and got benefit from our system. Due to the technical complexity of the system we have decided to discontinue this service in favor of new solutions.

We have replaced this service with two new solutions:

Syndication: Our open-source (free) plugin for WordPress.

Make your WordPress posts available for re-publishing to other WordPress sites using our open-source (free) plugin for WordPress. Control how and who can access your posts for re-publishing.

Analytics: Track your syndicated web content.

Track who has syndicated (re-published) your web content with our analytics service. You can even track who has re-published your WordPress posts in conjunction with our plugin for WordPress.
