iWriter not really copyscape checked?

Weird... I've never had that issue and I know many people who write for iWriter saying their articles get auto-denied if they don't pass copyscape.

AFAIK they are not. I had arguments with their support, as I tried it out and my articles came back with matches from copyscape. I checked it myself in copyscape, because I didn't believe their claims that they were checked. Support told me they were "original enough" more or less. In any case, I needed them 100% original, not 95% original. I stopped using them after my test.

iWriter is 100% Copyscaped.

There is a .03% chance an article will be run through Copyscape and due to the use of their premium API at high daily volume, "Copyscape" won't find a match. But when later running, a match could be found. You can read about this on Copyscape is you're a premium API user running high volume. They will tell you this as well.

With that said, it's extremely slim that this is going to happen. And if it does, contacting our support desk and letting us know the writer's name and price of the article will always result in:

1. An immediate BAN of the writer.
2. An immediate and full refund of the article.

Thank you

No where you will find a 100% unique article at present.All writers need a source to copy and edit.

Even though iwriter is competition for my own article writing service. I cannot really see any product or service offered by Brad Callen to not be up to scratch.

I have dealt with Brad on occasions and he always comes across as an honest guy.

We have written articles ourselves from scratch and then put them through Copyscape as a final check. Even though some articles are written totally from scratch and not copied, they can sometimes fail Copyscape.

You have to remember, thousands of articles are written and distributed every day, some text will always come back as not unique first time. We as writers then have to adjust articles to become unique.

iwriter is a great place if you want constant supply of articles for your site but expecting complete unique content is bull****, nobody can do Phd researches in 3hours and for $2.43 In your case it is not the fault of iwriter, when you correct the rephrased article for grammar issues, there is a good chance for you to rewrite it in a way published before. When you submit this to copyscape again, your article will be shown as plagiarized. iwriter is definitely a good place but they need to revise their time limit and pays.

No, writing is not about copying or rewriting. If one is not familiar with a topic, one can look for resources or references (online or offline), but I don't think one should just rehash the content.

Hi everyone,

Here's my recent experience with iwriter.com. (My story may be subjective, and perhaps I should call myself "unlucky" since I've been happy with iwriter all this while till this incident...)

I've been using iwriter.com for a while now and on my last article that I sent in for rewriting, someone had merely replaced a few phrases here and there and manage to pass the iwriter's inbuilt copyscape check to sell the "rewritten" article back to me.
Naturally, I trusted copyscape and bought the rewritten copy, only to my dismay that almost 80-90% of the work is duplicate content from the web, 30% from this webpage, 20% from another webpage and so on.

I've written to iwriter helpdesk to highlight this and ask if I can have a rewrite, and here was their response:

"Hi, chances are that the content was simply keywords that were repeated. There isn't anyway to contact the writer after you have approved. Sorry.

I was quite disappointed with their customer service when things go wrong. And still, they are trying to sell me more of their services before they've even resolved my problem. Landslide in confidence towards iwriter.com, with this kind of "brushing the matter off" attitude.

I've replied to their helpdesk again asking them to investigate into the integrity of their copyscape function within iwriter. Let's see what they say now.

If you are using iwriter, please do check your article on copyscape yourself in case such situation is more rampant than we actually know. It is common for us to trust that iwriter's copyscape check would be more or less foolproof, and not do the checks ourselves so we'll never know. Perhaps it's a one-off case - a system glitch/limitation, or it could be more frequent. Regardless, I'm truly disappointed with the kind of support I was given. I fear that my future articles would have the same problem and I will not get my money back. Unfortunately for me, looks like getting a refund this time is bleak.

Do you also have the same experience of getting an article with lots of plagiarized content?

That's some serious allegation there, bro. I hope you can back that up. iWriter says straight out that their interface screens everything through copyscape.com. Their video says that any writer caught stealing text 3 times by the system will be banned

that sux, i use them a lot now i got check everything.

Really? I order all my article from iwriter and I also do copyscape scan on all my articles that I order from them through my premium copyscape account eventhough iwriter provide this service & all the articles passed it without problems

I have used iWriter twice and I didn't really like the quality of the content. Been using one writer since the last 3 years. Been satisfied with her work. Does top notch work. I don't mind paying a buck extra or so but content is the king so I need top quality.

Something tells me that this thread is soon going to get

iwriter is a good platform for articles with quick TAT, they just provide a medium to bring writers and requesters together. They are not to blame for anything that may go wrong. You will find both honest and dishonest writers and requesters on any system. They have made everything simple for requesters, you don't have to pay until you have read the article, checked it and approved it. If you find issues with any article, simply don't approve it.

imho... there no much more originality anymore.. ever heard of R & D? is now call rob and duplicate with your own sense of 'originality'

my 2 cents and no offense to anyone since I hired writers too

I think part of the problem is most people here are wanting writing done for peanuts. Quality writing usually demands a decent price.

well the beauty is you can always reject these writers after reading it. If you don't know how to read then goodness gracious why even own a business. Anyways I've found wonderful writers and those I put on my favorite list so I can request them to write for my articles

I have a question about copyscape check.
I have written an article on "Search engine optimization for Dummies" keyword. The problem is I used, obviously, the keyword in the article and copyscape considers it as duplicate content. What can I do? I can't simply erase the keyword, as that will result in my article being rejected. This is very frustrating.
Thank you!

Nothing works 100% so why are you guys ganging up on the poster? If the guy says he received a bad article, then he probably did. There is nothing wrong with that, nothing is error proof

We are talking about pennies here, no need for the insults...

Hi,
I have recently started used iWriter. They are very fast and you have a wide different of prices but theres is a big problem , for me. You can't validate articles through copyscape before you accept them (so you can download) I have just received an article that is 15% similar to another article in the net.
I contact the writer and he told me that he would "rewrite" the area that I would like to be rewritten. But that's not efficient at all.
I have just open a ticket at iWriter Tickets platform about this problem. I will post the update .

There is text that cannot pass Copyscape and if you were to edit such text to pass Copyscape, you would end up with another problem. For example, names of organizations such as the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

The update of the situation I explained before.
So iWriter Support Team replied me. They explained that iWriter pass all articles automatically through copyscape and every article have to be under 3% of copied content. Although they analyze for at least group of 4 words. In my case I have 15% of copied content but they were groups of 3 words so the copyscape test passed .
They verified the writer account and realized that he had similar problems like this before, so they found that he have been tricking the copyscape validation with this and other tricks. They have cancelled is account and refund my money.

I recently had about a few articles written by Iwriter.

One of the 1000 word articles I had written had about 20 percent of the article directly copied from other sites.

Basically, one of the testimonials and a couple bullet list was copied directly from other sites.

So like they say that it may be copyscape checked I believe it still needs a lot of improvement in how it is happening.

With that said the rest of the article was well written so I just made corrections to the article and used it anyways.

But the copyscape check on the site does need improvement in my opinion.

I will say I did get my articles back pretty quickly and would still use the site again in the future.

The one thing I didn't like about the site is I noticed that the writers would put it in their work que and take it off the market so other writers couldn't get it to work on. And on more than a couple times they would leave it in their pile and not do the article and it would eventually get put back into the pile so other writers could do the work.

It would be better if they take a project to do then they are committed to finish it rather than being able to let it expire and the entire process starts over looking for a new writer.

I agree with the above poster that said you should find a way for us to run it through copyscape before accepting them. To expect someone to have to go through support to report writers is the one thing that makes me really not to want to use the site.

Terry, I did not say that we would show them what areas are duplicate and then allow them to ignore it and submit it. A writer cannot submit an article if it fails our Copyscape check through their API. It's impossible. If an article fails a Copyscape API check, it is not possible to be submitted by our system. The writer can continue trying as many times as they want, and each time, they are charged 5 cents for the check. After so many failed attempts their account is banned and they can no longer write on iWriter. Like I mentioned earlier, you can feel free to try to submit a copied article on iWriter and watch the process yourself.

Again, all articles are Copyscape checked via their API by iWriter before they are submitted. Stating that they are not is simply untrue and misleading. We are one of Copyscape's largest clients and pay big $$ to use their service as a benefit to our customers.

Before posting again, stating that we do not check Copyscape, please try and submit a duplicate article into our system for someone and watch what happens.

The you received is a product review which has some product bullet points of items inside the actual product that can't exactly be reworded. It looks as if they were taken from the product page themselves.

1. Girl Get Rings Manual
2. Masculine Hero Avatar MP3
3. Clean Slate Method
4. Long distance Relationship Secrets
5. The 7 Biggest Mistakes Women Make With Their Online Profile
6. From Conflict To Compassionate Communication

These are key items inside the product and can't exactly be reworded. I would guess that what you're seeing is because of the specific topic you chose and it is indeed a "fluke" as you called it. This is not duplicate content and I can see why it did pass the Copyscape API. Google would never see this as duplicate content.

Thank you.

There was 2 bullet lists and a testimonial copied exactly. Which consisted of 20 percent of the article.

And to say that it is not easily able to be rewritten by the writer is untrue. I rewrote the duplicate stuff myself in about 5 minutes.

Anyway, if it was too difficult for them to rewrite they should of just left it out and wrote something else. They was just being lazy.

When I ran it through copyscape my self it flagged those big blocks of text as duplicate.

I don't think it would of been to difficult for your writer to rewrite the portion of the article that was showing as duplicate.

Just have some humbleness man and admit your system isn't perfect.

I just checked my "elite" article I ordered on iWriter. About 20% is directly copied from one source. I suspect that the rest is rewritten. Not cool.

I just have an elite article downloaded from iWriter today and when I put it in to Copyscape, it shows "6 results found for the text you pasted". The article is 5% matched.
I have contacted iWriter support desk to see why this happened.
