How do you check if your outsourced writer did a good job of writing unique articles versus copy paste(duplicate content)?

      Plagium or Copyscape are both good, too.

          Hi, I guess that the following info can come in handy to some peepz.

          As a professional writer I use copyscape.com quite frequently. From my own experiences, making searches for duplicate content using copyscape is more precise when you are a premium member. It doesn't cost much to use copyscape with premium searches, it's actually only $0.05 per search. Copyscape basically goes through all the content on the web for you and tries to find sites with similar content and lists the sites that have similar content.

          Why a premium membership? I used regular searches and found nothing without signing into my account and found results when I did log in and did the same search.

          Another tip is entering less than 500 words for a search. Again, I tried searches entering up to 2000 words and had no results and then entered 500 words of the same content and I had results pop up. After trying out how it exactly works I realized that 500 words is the exact barrier between 100 % accurate searches and less accurate searches.

          If you follow these tips it will be a bit more expensive but as a writer I cannot risk delivering duplicate content to my clients.

          I hope this comes in handy next time you want to make sure your work is original.

            I always use copyscape. I believe it cost $10 to get credit to do a premium search for about 200 articles. This is something you should always look out for.

              Grab a few random four or five word sections from any article and google it in quotes. Finding dupe and spun content is easy when you do it manually, you don't need copyscape.

    There are several excellent suggestions in this thread (regarding Copyscape and so on). However, there's no reliable way to find out if someone has just ripped off someone else's content from a paid ebook or other product. While dupe content isn't a problem (since the content is from a paid source that's not just floating around freely online), you could get smacked with plagiarism and copyright accusations.

    Best thing to do is to only work with writers that you've thoroughly vetted.

    Cheers,
    Becky

    Copyscape. I have used it when I outsourced lots of articles. I have build a custom software using copyscape api that checked if article was copied or not.

    If you do some volume, it really helps out and saves a lot of time.
