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.

My Question About SEO
I'm working on a new website and attempting to make it as efficient as possible. I've put it through a few scanners and have a few concerns. Is it true that having long titles is beneficial? My contact page, for example, is just titled contact, while my FAQ page is simply titled commonly asked questions. What about meta descriptions for each page? Do they still serve a purpose nowadays? Because my site title is a graphic header, having a big text title doesn't really suit with the style, the H1 tag is missing on a few pages. Is there any way to get around this?

Online Publisher networks (Splash Press) Question
Hi, If you can get into a network as a writer it's great because you can expose your brand on high auth websites without the hassle of having to build a relationship with each site - once your in, your into all the websites on the network. So question is, isn't this going to be bad for SEO, I assume all the websites are on the same server and I have seen some where they interlink in the network. Apart from that though they look really great, good fresh content, high DA/PA, lots of social activity etc. A couple I have come across are: Splash Press & Alloy Digital (If you know of any more please post them up).

Your Site and Google News Question
My site has been in Google News for about 3 years. Over the weekend, I received this message from Google Hi John, We periodically review news sources, to ensure Google News offers a high quality experience for our users. When we reviewed your site, mainstreetmonroe.com, we found that we can no longer include it in Google News at this time. We reviewed your site and are unable to include it in Google News at this time. We can't include sites that don't have a formal editorial-review process for submitted content. If this exists on your site, please let us know where and we'll be happy to review your site again. Mainstreetmonroe is scheduled to be removed from Google News for a period of at least 30 days. After this 30-day period has elapsed, you can re-apply for inclusion in Google News provided your site meets our guidelines. We appreciate your assistance in this matter. Please note that you'll still be able to find your site in Google Web Search and other Google services. Thanks for your interest in Google News. Regards, The Google News Team What exactly do they mean? I submitted my website news section, but they have been displaying our forum area in the news too. I think the forum is what GN is talking about. What is the best way to fix this problem? Move the forum to a subdomain?
