Tool to identify duplicated content on other sites
-
Hi
does anyone know of a tool that could be used to identify if a site is using our content without permission?
Thanks
-
Like Deacyde I use the content in quotes in Google itself "to test if this is duplicate." But I also use a couple tools:
- http://www.copyscape.com/
- http://www.siteliner.com/
- http://www.webconfs.com/similar-page-checker.php
- http://www.plagspotter.com/ (undergoing a bit of renovation currently)
If you wanted to build this into your own tool, PlagTracker has an API
http://www.plagtracker.com/api.html
(As do a few of the ones above.)

One great way to do this is to take a sentence or two and search it in google surrounded by double quotes, like:
" A sentence I want to google search to see if other sites come up using these sentences "
This is one of the best ways to find external duplicate content
Can always use this - http://www.seoreviewtools.com/duplicate-content-checker/ to doublecheck google results, as well check within your site for duplicate content.
Hope this helps.

Blog Content if Google has stated it doesn't like your blog?
Hi guys, In the new 'mobile usability' tab in Webmaster Tools, Google has stated that our blog isn't offering a good experience for users. Something we already knew and I want to change, but I can't get the budget approved to complete the work. I was just wondering if you think Google isn't going to hold my content very high as a result. I want to produce more content on our blog around our valuable keywords in hope to improve our rankings, but if Google isn't holding our site in high regard I'm thinking there may not be much point in it. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks Brian

Duplicate Content behind a Paywall
We have a website that is publicly visible. This website has content. We'd like to take that same content, put it on another website, behind a paywall. Since Google will not be able to crawl those pages behind the paywall is there any risk to ua doing this? Thanks! Mike

Duplicate Pages Different Content
Will duplicate pages different content hurt rankings/seo E-commerce Site is plugin style with WYSIWYG editor allowing for full customization, all pages are setup with basic default content. Ive created custom pages with content/keywords to begin seo on them I have two pages www.domain.com/sports/hockey and www.domain.com/nhl-tickets The first url is default, with a single H1tag, + Default Meta+Title tags, the second is the content rich page, and structured properly, both of which show up on the site, should I block the first url from displaying at all? The reason I am asking is because ive also setup breadcrumb links, which makes all of these category url's accessible on the site, I cannot edit breadcrumb links, we can either have them there or remove them. Thank you Very Much!!

How does google react to duplicate shops on ecommerce sites
Surely shopping cart sites are going to have a lot of duplicate content? Does google recognise this? Is there anything I can do let google know?

Displaying archive content articles in a writers bio page
My site has writers, and each has their own profile page (accessible when you click their name inside an article). We set up the code in a way that the bios, in addition to the actual writer photo/bio, would dynamically generate links to each article he/she produces. Figured that someone reading something by Bob Smith, might want to read other stuff by him. Which was fine, initially. Fast forward, and some of these writers have 3,4, even 15 pages of archives, as the archive system paginates every 10 articles (so www.example.com/bob-smith/archive-page3, etc) My thinking is that this is a bad thing. The articles are likely already found elsewhere in the site (under the content landing page it was written for, for example) and I visualize spiders getting sucked into these archive black holes, never to return. I also assume that it is just more internal mass linking (yech) and probably doesnt help the overall TOS/bounce/exit, etc. Thoughts?
