How unique should a 'unique' article be?
I have recently received some articles that I had outsourced. This was the first time I have used anyone from outside the forum. I opted for posts for my blog of about 250 words as I wanted to see the quality of them.
I was reading through one of them and it seemed very familiar. Upon further checks I discovered to my amazement that it is very similar to an article which I had written not too long ago and which is already on my blog.
I ran the article through Dupe Pro and it is 65.4% unique when compared to my own article.
Is this coincidence, a re-write of my own article or what? I don't think I'd feel happy using it on my blog when although the wording is slightly different the sequence of information is in the same order.
It seems strange to receive an article which is so similar to my from a total stranger who had a wealth of keywords to have chosen from. Should it not have been at least 99% unique compared to my own.
What are your views on this?
