Do you know who CopyGator is? He’s catching duplicate content and plagiarism in and around the blogosphere. Always keeping an eye on your content, the CopyGator service is an interesting one to use if you feel like others are stealing your works.
How Does CopyGator Work?
The service aggregates data from other two million blog feeds, and parses over a half million blog posts in a day. The servers then crunch the data and are able to evaluate if one post resembles another post just a little too much. Once you sign up, you can get notices by RSS feed, or e-mail when somebody is using your content without your permission. The service is simply fast, simple and pretty darn accurate, to boot.
You can see an example report I got for webhostingshow.com here:
When you compare the blog posts from within CopyGator, you get a percentage score on how likely it is they copied you. For anybody who wants to protect their content online, CopyGator is a web site you just have to save to your bookmarks. For another alternative to web site plagiarism searching, also be sure to check out Copyscape.com. It also does a good job at catching online content thieves.
