      Hello,

      We want to compare two URLs and test how much duplicate content is on the page. Is there any good free tools for this and how do I use the tool.

      I found one tool here:

      http://www.webseoanalytics.com/free/seo-tools/duplicate-content-checker.php

      but I don't know how good it is.

      Thanks!

            +1 for Copyscape... and if you need to check a LOT of URLs, go premium and use their API ($0.05 per request).

                I like copyscape. When comparing 2 URLs, how do I know if there is too much duplicate content according to google?

                  In the result you will see a red  fragment, that's the% of copy.

                  An example: Duplicate >>   ( I hope the link works =P)

                  The page below has 226 words matching 28% of the page, as highlighted below:

                    What % is bad, and if it depends, what does it depend on?

                      I think 20-30% is within the limits, as they may be taking some extract for its own post, but more than that it can bring duplicate content issues
