Duplicate content detection tools;

Here are some of the best duplicate content tools on the web that will not only check for other copies of your content on the web, but will identify internal issues you may have with your site.

1. Copyscape

Copyscape is probably the most popular duplicate content tool out there. This free service detects copies of your web pages across the web. The free version only returns no more than 10 results for any search, and you are limited to the number of searches you can perform. However they do offer two other premium services for users who need to be able to gather more in-depth duplicate content research. Copyscape premium offers a more comprehensive search for plagiarism detection along with features like batch search (up to 10,000 pages), copy and paste, manage cases of plagiarism, exclude certain sites, compare two urls, and automatic checks using the API.

2. Plagiarism Checker

This tool will allow you to enter a keyword, phrase, or sentence into the search field and it will return Google results of any other sites that have the same words entered. One cool feature the tool will allow you to do is set up a google alert, so it notifies you if someone copies your content.

3. Plagiarism Detect

Plagiarism detect offers a free and premium version, similar to Copyscape. The free version of this tool will allow you to upload text and word doc files for analysis and will return detections found. The premium version has many other features including comparing two documents side-by-side, a more advanced algorithm and a Microsoft Word plugin, so you can check for plagiarism directly from word.

4. Plagium

This plagiarism tool will display a visually pleasing diagram of detections of other websites that have copied your content. Plagium will show a calendar of when it was discovered. This tool will allow you to search over the entire web or strictly news sources. You may also refine by language and only check for duplicates in a specific language.

In-Depth Analysis Tools

When you need more detailed information, for example when you’re investigating your own website, or your competitor’s, you need tools that go more into depth. These tools might show link building efforts, structures, or maybe even data from the past.

Although Google’s Webmaster Tools also can provide quite some link related info, I’m not going to mention this one, because it can only be used for your own sites, and not -for instance- competitors.

Having this data at your fingertips

In the olden days, Webmasters would scour their web log files looking for visiting IP addresses and doing reverse lookups on WHOIS.org. These days, there are several available tools that already include this functionality as part of a broader Internet marketing and sales solution.

One of the simplest tools but relatively unknown tools is called Leadlander.com. It’s really simple to install and pretty easy to realize immediate value from.

I also use a solution called Pardot.com, which offers much of the same functionality in more of a full-blown marketing automation solution.

There are several other products out there, so do some research on your own. If you know of others you like, I invite you to contribute comments and we can build a knowledge base around this topic.
