Duplicate Content

[GaryVictory]

Hi

Does anyone know a site where i can paste text to test for duplication? We've used some outstanding freelancer copywriters in the past but need to check the authenticity of the article created before publishing,

Thanks

Gary

Hi Gary. I use CopyScape at copyscape.com

The free version only reads from a webpage, so you would need to create a temporary page, publish all or parts of the article you are curious about, check it, then delete the temporary page.

Hi Gary,

You can Quickly check duplication by Simply copying the content  paragraph and put in Google.

It will bold all the already published content and Will be Super Quick.

And For sure, You can use copyscape or anyother available service.

thanks

There's a free tool at http://smallseotools.com/plagiarism-checker/ that will check up to 1500 words. It takes about half your content, chunks it up into 3-7 word phrases, and searches Google for the text. You paste the text in, it doesn't need to be live already. Quotation marks in the text will sometimes lead to false positives, so be aware of that.

You'll want to check the entire piece, even if you need to break it up into parts to check it, so that you can check for both outright duplicate content and for spun content. Sometimes there will be just one phrase in all of the text that is identical and not spun, then you'll see the result and see that you're looking at a reworded version of a post that's already live. I turn down many YouMoz ever week because of spun content.

Copyscape premium will also check pasted content for $0.05 per check USD. It's quite fast. I've only recently begun using it, so I can't speak as much to the accuracy, especially with spun content, but it is also a nice tool to have.

Thanks Keri

As of yesterday we used Copyscape premium. We also ran a few tests on this for obvious duplicates - pleased to say everything seemed to run smoothly and like you said, it's very quick to process.

Your feedback is much appreciated.

Regards
