Has your content being copy by others? – Copyscape.com

If you are a blogger who write articles who understand the importance of original content or worry whether other actually copy your work without your permission. Or if you do regular writing and do not want other people to accuse you. Or you maybe very new in the world of blogger and have no idea whether your work which you do research on the net and rewrite it later on and you worry that you may unaware quoted certain part of the other author writing and because of this, your work are consider as plagiarism. Or maybe you know what kind of consequences you can get into when you plagiarisms someone else work.

If your answer is yes to any of the following scenario I listed above, this is one of the solution I accidentally come across when I am surfing on the web for other purpose. Copyscape or http://www.copyscape.com is basically a service, which provide by Indigo Stream Technologies. Copyscape can help you find copies, plagiarisms work or content quoted from your web. What you only need to do is to type the address of your webpage address or what we programmers call it as URL. Copyscape will do the rest.

What I did when I was aware of copyscape service, I went to their site http://www.copyscape.com and test it using the free service it provided. Up to now, I actually had 2 different web, one is for a game information and the other one is this. So I decide to test both of my web address and see the result. One of it according to its free search show that my work is 100% original work while the other one show that I had copy the content of other author work which I am not aware of. All I can say that I had unconsciously use the same 2 words from the other author when I doing research and copyscape show me that.

If you wanted to get better services from copyscape, you can opt for the premium or copysentry services from copyscape (which it is pay service). Premium service it say to be able to search copies of your offline content while Copysentry actually monitor the webs itself and alert you when they find new copies of your content.

I am ending my writing here about copyscape, as I believe I had explain thoroughly about it. Now I need to excuse myself to rework on my previous article, which I am unaware of plagiaries.
