Due to the importance that Google’s Penguin update is lending to the uniqueness of content, business firms competing on a global scale in the online world are also increasing their cautiousness about it. Internet marketing is a vast domain in itself and to do it right requires compelling content that is rated high in quality by Google. For this, plagiarism checkers are required. These can be understood as software programs that check the content on the internet through certain algorithms and display the matching part of the content on your website.
Copyscape is amongst the best software interfaces that are used for the detection of matching content. However, it offers much more than simply finding the matching content. To make the most of your Copyscape account, it is essential to have complete knowledge of what this online portal has to offer:
Copyscape Premium Search
This is the basic search that Copyscape offers. If you need to check your website content for any matches, you can simply paste the URL here. In the other case, if you have some content that you have created, simply paste it here and check. The results will be shown with the matched part highlighted.
Batch Search
If you own a website with a good number of pages and you need to check all the matching content on the web, batch search is the right tool for that. The reason is that you do not need to manually enter the URLs of your website pages one by one. You can simply upload the sitemap or paste its link there. In case you wish to keep some URLs from the search, you can delete them manually.
When the URL list for batch search is completely checked, you can see the results displayed in four colors- Red, Orange, Yellow and Green. Green displays the pages that are absolutely free from any kind of plagiarism. Yellow displays the pages that have some part matching like the header and footer. Orange shows a little bit more crucial issues with some part of the content, especially the keywords matching some other content on the web. Red is the most crucial issue and is an alarming bell that your website might suffer drastically in the Penguin update due to matching content. These results remain stored for future reference.
Private Index
Writers have a flair for content creation but sometimes, the words they string are quite likely to match their own creations. Checking the internet for the results might not be a reliable solution as the written content may not have been posted anywhere. This feature allows you to store the created content as an index and check the newly created content for presence on the internet as well as in the self-created index.
Free Content Comparison
Writers often rewrite a certain piece of content or spin it with the help of some software. To compare whether the created content differs from the new one, you can copy and paste content pieces in their respective boxes and can make the comparison. The matching part can be highlighted. This way, you can fix the issues that spring up during the creation of your unique content.
