      Hi

      does anyone know of a tool that could be used to identify if a site is using our content without permission?

      Thanks

        One great way to do this is to take a sentence or two and search it in google surrounded by double quotes, like:

        " A sentence I want to google search to see if other sites come up using these sentences "

        This is one of the best ways to find external duplicate content

        Can always use this - http://www.seoreviewtools.com/duplicate-content-checker/ to doublecheck google results, as well check within your site for duplicate content.

        Hope this helps.

          Like Deacyde I use the content in quotes in Google itself "to test if this is duplicate." But I also use a couple tools:

          • http://www.copyscape.com/
          • http://www.siteliner.com/
          • http://www.webconfs.com/similar-page-checker.php
          • http://www.plagspotter.com/ (undergoing a bit of renovation currently)

          If you wanted to build this into your own tool, PlagTracker has an API

          http://www.plagtracker.com/api.html

          (As do a few of the ones above.)
