Yes! You have the option at Markerly.com when generating code to make it invisible purely for copy & paste analytics. This does not affect your analytics, except that you will not see an increase in page views or click-backs by removing the social aspect of Markerly. All copy & paste data will be provided to you.
Yes. All you need to do is grab your publisher ID from the Markerly code that you added to your site and then go here to link a new account to it.
According to a recent study done on Business Insider and 17,000 other online publishers, 82% of sharing is done by copy & paste. So, a lot of people are copying content from your site, and Markerly sheds light on what they are truly interested in! According to our stats, 14% of page views include copy/paste/sharing from Markerly.
Markerly makes your site more social, so you will see an increase in sharing and as a result, an increase in click-backs. You can view your click back analytics on your dashboard. The more links that your site has on social networks, the better search results you receive. Additionally, some publishers opt-in to have their URL auto appended to all content copied and pasted. This also increases your SEO as a result of having your link shared.
Empowering readers to share micro-content is extremely valuable. When readers engage in content it’s because they are interested in it. By prompting readers to impulsively share what they engage in, you make the action of sharing instant and convenient. By prompting readers to share more of what they love, you receive more click-backs from that shared content and more backlinks, which improves your SEO.
Markerly's basic sharing platform is free. Contact us if you're interested in our premium products.
All of Markerly’s analytics are private and your data will not be shared with any other publishers. Read about our privacy policies here
Of course! You can use Markerly on anything! It’s your tool!
Below is a list of our most frequently asked technical questions. For a deeper dive into what you can do with Markerly, you should check out our documentation. There you'll find a detailed list of all the different ways you can customize Markerly to meet your needs.
Very simple. All you need to do is look at the markerly code that you added to your site and get your publisher ID.
example:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://markerly.com/toolbar/markerly-pub.js#pub_id=ma-5090948ccaa21">/script>
After you've gotten that ID go HERE, register your ID, and your done.
Very simple. All you need to do is go to the Markerly code on your site and change the sharing options.
to turn text sharing on, change "text_sharing" to "true" and to make images shareable, change "image_sharing" to 1. "Copy_link_sharing" causes all copied text from your site to have a link to your site appended. You just change that setting to 1 to turn link appending on.
Example:
<script type="text/javascript">
var markerly_settings = {
"text_sharing": true,
"copy_link_sharing": 0,
"image_sharing": 1
};
</script>
This is an optional feature. Go to Markerly.com to generate new code, and click “Don’t Do This” under Append URL. This will generate a new code. Delete the old code and insert the new code onto your site with your publisher ID (this can be found both in the code currently on your site as well as on the home screen of your analytics account). This will not affect your login or analytics - except that by removing the auto append you will be seeing less click-backs and a lower boost in SEO links.
Remember, when you generate new code, be sure to select the colors and sharing options you want.
It's quite simple.

OR
1. Go to the appearance section of your Wordpress dashboard
2. Click on the editor
3. Select the header.php file

Go to Markerly.com and click on Sign In in the upper right hand corner. If you have not created an account while customizing your code, you will not be able to log in.
You are able to get the code without creating an account, but without an account you cannot access your analytics. Please e-mail support@Markerly.com with any questions if you are having an issue with log-in.
Instantly! We update Markerly in real-time.
Of course! You can use Markerly on any blog - personal or business. Though, you will want to generate two separate codes, and have two separate log-ins.
No, but Markerly does make your site more interactive and dynamic in a complementary, non-invasive way.
Your publisher ID is a unique reference ID for your analytics.
No, Markerly loads asynchronously and will not slow loading times.
Markerly measures text and photo’s that are copied or pasted, which text and photo’s are shared to certain networks, trends in content that is copied, click-backs from content shared through Markerly, and other general insights on trending content.
After pasting content from your site, a user is able to delete the “read more” link that is automatically appended.
It’s up to you. You can use the same code on multiple websites for one-login, but if you want different options for each website, you will need to use different markerly settings code.
It is more common for publishers to use the same code across multiple websites and use one log-in.
To exclude any image, just add the class "markerly-exclude-image". For example:
<img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-11392 markerly-exclude-image" width="150" height="141" alt="Election 2012, Obama, Romney, Smartphone owners,infographic" src="http://nibletz.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/electionlogo2.jpg" title="electionlogo2" >
We also support providing a custom class image, but this should do for now.
Markerly’s code is able to capture all actions taken with photo’s on your site - whether it’s a scroll-over, a copy, or a share.
Yes, you can have Markerly and Google Analytics running on the same page, but they are separate and do not send data back and forth to each other. That feature is in the roadmap though :)
