PubPixel is a streamlined pixel tracking service for publishers.

PubPixel is designed specifically for publishers who want to track how their content performs when republished by other organizations.

Key Features

• Real-time tracking: Monitor article performance across republisher sites
• Detailed analytics: View hit counts, unique visitors, and republisher statistics
• Article metadata: Track bylines, topics, and publication dates
• Custom reporting: Generate reports filtered by date, article, or republisher
• Easy integration: Simple pixel implementation with WordPress plugin support

How It Works

When your content is republished, a 1×1 transparent tracking pixel is included with the article. This pixel records valuable data including:

• Republisher origin domain
• Article information (name, path, byline, topic)
• Visitor data (IP address, user agent)
• Timestamp and referrer information

Technical Details

PubPixel has two component parts that work hand in hand:

• A Python web application built with Django to generate the tracking pixel, store the analytics, and provide a user interface for viewing the data and running reports.
• A companion WordPress plugin that adds the pixel, along with article content, to a popup form for republishers.

The WordPress plugin works in conjunction with the tracking application to serve a 1x1 transparent pixel and record hits and URLs to a SQLite database.
