I use Article Checker instead of copyscape. It's free too.

I've looked into a few services like this, but I'm not entirely sure I'd need it for a while.

My topics tend to share common data with widely-read news stories, so I'm bound to get flagged by these types of services.

There was also a service out of Florida, I think it was Sentinel or something that I spoke to the CEO of a while back. It was also a great idea to stop plagiarism.

That definitely looks like an interesting tool, I bought articles I would try it.

This product makes a lot of sense. I get articles outsourced from a couple of people. In the beginning I used to upload the articles and check each of them via copyscape. But I soon lost the enthusiasm to do that. Now they get published without any check. There was a vacuum for a product of this sort and I'm glad its been filled.

I think this tool will truly pay off for professors some time in the future as I am aware that many could care less about a tool of this sort at the present moment. Even though the functionality as pointed out in the blog seems very impressive considering that it targets words that are similar to the original but most professors are able to judge the source of a paper by reading a few works from the same student, if it is not authentic it looses consistency and will never achieve to be parallel to the previous writing pattern.

Johnathan those would really be competitors for Copyscape's alert service which takes things from the other direction.

I see value in Copyscape's service for people with high value content, such as lawyers protecting their licensing on terms of service, and copywriters defending their direct response sales pages and advertising copy.

I can't see value in defending blog posts against plagiarism through such active measures other than worst offenders who have enough search engine authority to grab SERPs if syndicated content is indexed and monetized.

It is far better to try to benefit from 3rd party syndication of your content than try to fight it.

I tried in vain several months ago to encourage some way to prevent sharing in Google reader for copyrighted works, and the 'sphere was almost universally against it.

If the big guys are providing tools that enable syndication without any controls, it is something that is impossible to fight.

It sounds like a very interesting service and I'm going to have to give it a look. However, I'm pretty much inherently skeptical of all plagiarism checkers. I've found that hmost are products of convinience, not practicality. This one though, with its translation and synonymn checking tools might be more useful.

Still, new tools are being developed all the time and, right now, I know of at least two companies that are going to enter this market on behalf of bloggers. There might be a third.

This is a very rapidly evolving field.

Thank you for the information!

Thanks for that post.
I was looking for a service that would do exactly what they do since long time. Indeed the price is low.
Seems to be an essential tool that everybody should use who is publishing anything on the net.
I will test it definitely.

Tom I would say defending against that kind of plagiarism is more a Copyscape function with their sentry service, but that becomes quite expensive.

The best way to deal with people using your content isn't to fight it, but take advantage of it by including lots of deep links in your content, and be careful to block any trackbacks from the scrapers.

In my experience most of the scrapers actually send trackbacks hoping to get links, and a good number actually give real links, and although they are low quality links, it is still useful.

Nice Tool!
Just when my site was having lots of trouble from content rippers, plagarism and splog's this is a welcome relief.

Looks like an excellent tool. I have never heard of this and will have to give it a try -- the price is amazing for what you get!

Hi, I had a chance to use their services recently for checking my term paper before submission. The detection was accurate and the report was informative, and probably saved me from a lot of trouble from my university. Thanks guys!
