Copyscape premium fails to deliver- Concern and question
-
Recently i have been using Copyscape premium to check the outsourced worked, but on many times it didn't caught the duplicate/plagiarism contents.
One article run through copyscape get passed without any plagiarism and when i recheck the same article second time it caught plagiarism with five different sources. I am really concern about this, does some one else find this thing with copyscape?
Copyscape have set the content limit to 2000, but what is the ideal length to run through it?
I am also using palgium and grammarly for the same purpose. What other reliable alternatives are available to use?

I often feel like Copyscape was created by the owners of automated content spinners to falsely prove themselves legitimate. The place that I've seen it talked about, by far the most, is in any spammy blackhatworld.com or warriorforum.com offerings, talking about how they pass Copyscape.
You should find that quickly, Google is a much more accurate at understanding similar copy, if you paste a few lines into search and thumb through a few pages. I would never trust Copyscape alone. There are a number of reasons that it may be wrong; as there's definitely a lot to consider when analyzing copy.

One Page Website Blog Content Question
Hi guys, I'm new to the art of SEO and am learning every day from all the fantastic content here, I have a question that I can't find an answer to, hope it doesn't stump you like it has me... I have a one page website (www.neilwilliamsvoiceover.com) that I need to put more content on for SEO purposes but needs to be kept as one page. I've set-up a blog via blogger, and have that on the website but it's in iframe, which I've now discovered is ignored by search engines. So, my question is, is there a way to pull my blog feed into the website and have it recognised by search engines as content for the website? Would I use an RSS feed or feed burner or something else completely?! Thanks for your time and help in advance.

Questions about reorganizing a website's content structure
I'm working with a publisher who is considering reorganizing the content on their site, which up to now has been presented more or less as a portal site for a variety of segments in a particular business industry. One scenario that is on the table is to remove some content sections altogether and republish them under their own unique domains. It's important to note that this reorganization would be part of a new brand strategy. So my first question is whether this is one of those avoid-at-all-costs scenarios? My second question is if we decide to procede, what kind of time could it take for these new domains to generate the same level of search traffic they are currently pulling in on the portal site? Thanks!

Premium Themes Use or Not?
I am just curious if any of you use the premium themes such as Genesis or Thesis, if so why did you move to those themes? Also what is the real benefit to one of those themes? I know both claim to help with SEO, but I can't really understand exactly how other than the code may be more efficient.
