Duplicate Content
-
Hi
Does anyone know a site where i can paste text to test for duplication? We've used some outstanding freelancer copywriters in the past but need to check the authenticity of the article created before publishing,
Thanks

Thanks Keri
As of yesterday we used Copyscape premium. We also ran a few tests on this for obvious duplicates - pleased to say everything seemed to run smoothly and like you said, it's very quick to process.
Your feedback is much appreciated.
Regards
Gary

There's a free tool at http://smallseotools.com/plagiarism-checker/ that will check up to 1500 words. It takes about half your content, chunks it up into 3-7 word phrases, and searches Google for the text. You paste the text in, it doesn't need to be live already. Quotation marks in the text will sometimes lead to false positives, so be aware of that.
You'll want to check the entire piece, even if you need to break it up into parts to check it, so that you can check for both outright duplicate content and for spun content. Sometimes there will be just one phrase in all of the text that is identical and not spun, then you'll see the result and see that you're looking at a reworded version of a post that's already live. I turn down many YouMoz ever week because of spun content.
Copyscape premium will also check pasted content for $0.05 per check USD. It's quite fast. I've only recently begun using it, so I can't speak as much to the accuracy, especially with spun content, but it is also a nice tool to have.

Hi Gary,
You can Quickly check duplication by Simply copying the content paragraph and put in Google.
It will bold all the already published content and Will be Super Quick.
And For sure, You can use copyscape or anyother available service.
thanks

Hi Gary. I use CopyScape at copyscape.com
The free version only reads from a webpage, so you would need to create a temporary page, publish all or parts of the article you are curious about, check it, then delete the temporary page.

Updating Content - Make changes to current URL or create a new one?
I'm working with a content team on a job search guide for 2019. We already have a job search guide for 2018. Should we just edit the content of the job search guide for 2018 to make it current for 2019, which means the job search guide for 2018 would not exist anymore or should we keep the 2018 guide and just create a new web page for the 2019 guide that way both exist. We currently rank very well for the 2018 job search guide.

SEO for a News based site : Outdated content
How do we maintain the SEO of a 5 year old News content based site? How should we deal with 3-4 year old content, which are outdated or not searched? Some of them are still useful as archiving/history of a topic..but not searched.... ?? Should we no-index them? or should we keep it like that?

Same content on site blog as a separate blog. Will unpublishing on one blog evade duplicate content issues?
I just discovered my client was posting the same content as the site I'm working on for him on a separate blog. I don't want to run into duplicate content issues. Both are Wordpress sites. Will it suffice to simply unpublish duplicate entries on the other blog and leave the posts as drafts?

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!!

Question - Hidden Content via 'Read More;'
Hi, Does having text in hidden areas (that are expandable with a button) harm their value in SEO? E.g. there are 'read more' areas on the homepage of this site that have content that is not accessible otherwise. Does this content have the same weight when it is hidden versus if this whole area was visible? http://goo.gl/QQvAZ
