Internet plagiarism is commonplace.
Anyone can copy your content and paste into your website saying it is yours and monetize it with advertising that has spread on the page.
In fact, there are web pages, known as scraper sites, all of its contents are copied from other websites. Others simply change a bit the title and content and posing as his own. Others will copy one or more paragraphs and do not give you credit as the original source.
The problem is more serious and damaging than meets the eye.
Google errors
For someone to copy your content and make it happen by itself (with or without adjustments) hurts you for two reasons:
1. I feel bad that another advantage of your work without even giving you credit as the creator of the content.
2. Google can make mistakes and give preference to content and not the original copy.
Someone copies your content and publish to your blog. When you search for keywords that your content should lead to the result you look you see is the other site that you have copied and your score is lower, or even worse, only the copy and your score does not come it anywhere!
This happens, I know because it happened to me more than once and several blogs.
The reason is that Google is not infallible in detecting plagiarism (duplicate content) and the allocation of the sources which is the original dispute.
Therefore, one can give the situation (and given) that whoever wrote the original content is damaged and the plagiarist is rewarded unfairly.
When your site is still young is more vulnerable to Google committed such errors. A higher PageRank have your domain name and the specific page where you published your post lower the risk of supplanting the original copy in the Google results page.
This is because Google, among other signals, uses the PR domain and the page to distinguish the original copies. This signal makes sense because the newcomer is usually copy content pages who are already established. Unfortunately that's not always the case and paying the price touches the newcomer who has been robbed of its contents.
But how do you know if someone has plagiarized and what we can be? Step by step, let us first see how to detect it.
Copyscape: the faster and more reliable to detect Internet plagiarism
To detect plagiarism of your content you can find your items one by one in Google and see if other indexed results are copies, or you can use Copyscape and let the machine do it for you.
Copyscape is an online tool that helps you find a fast and reliable if someone plagiarized your content.
It has a free version and a payment. In Free allows you to search one by one the pages you want to see if they have been plagiarized.
Copyscape Premium, however, to charges and costs 10 cents per search (plus or minus 0.075 euros). Detection provides a powerful, that the free option, plagiarized content.
Furthermore, and importantly, with Premium Copyscape You can copy text and paste it into a box and look if it's an original or duplicate content.
This is interesting because it lets you know in advance whether the content that you post to your blog can be identified as duplicated by Google or not.
Here I am thinking of two situations:
1. If another produces content for your website. Say you pay someone to produce content for your web blog. How to know if the content is original or a copy or poorly done rehash of another post out of the Web?
2. If you produce the content yourself but you're good for it from other sources that are on the Web
If Google considers your duplicate content not only run the risk of being filtered and not appear in the results page (or even not be indexed), but in severe cases can even be penalized.
"There are some penalties that are related to the idea of having the same content as another site - for example, if you are copying" scraping "content from other sites and publications, or if you publish without adding any additional value. These tactics are clearly outlined (and discouraged) in our webmaster guidelines . " (Translation supplied). Susan Moskwa, Webmaster Trends Analyst.
But this was before Google changes Panda , now (since February 2011) it is even more serious. Now have duplicate content on your website is no longer an isolated problem of the page containing the duplicate content and affects your entire web site. That is, other pages of your site, with no duplicate content, they may lose positions in the Google results page, or even disappear from the index.
To avoid duplicate content publishing these in your blog Copyscape available to you.
Copysentry another Copyscape service is responsible for scanning your website each day or week and sends you an email when it finds that have been made new copies of your content.
Also offers a Copyscape banners you can put on your website to alert potential kidnappers who visit your site with bad intentions that your site is being controlled and do not let you steal the contents.
Prevent and fight plagiarism
It is impossible to avoid getting ripped but you can take steps to prevent it and to try to combat it:
1. Place in the footer of your website a banner warning against plagiarism .
2. Included in the footer of your page: © tupáginaweb.com All rights reserved. To add the symbol you have to use HTML: ©
3. Copyscape uses in its free or paid (Copysentry) to detect illegal copies of your content.
4. If nevertheless have copied your content should contact the one who has plagiarized and ask them to remove the entry and do not do it again in the future.
Most people access because they do not remove the thing should go higher. If despite this not erase the copied entry to notify abuse tell your hosting provider ('ll find out here Whois ) and through a Google spam report . If the topic is serious talk with your lawyer to explain your options. I trust that you will not ever go to such extremes.
I hope this tool will serve you. To me it seems very useful, not so much oblivious to detect plagiarism (also) but mainly to see if the content you produce yourself (or another who would have entrusted the task) are copies or not.
Whether to outsource the production of content this is a tool worth trying.
