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.

Repurpose/reuse blog content - email address to make available for this
Hi, From Rand's recent Whiteboard Friday, I learned this: "Have right on the blog page the email address to use if they want to repurpose/reuse the content. That way if someone wants to give us a backlink and quote/reference our blog, they have an easy way to get permission." My question is, what do I say with the email address when I list our contact email? Something like 1. Just list the email address 2. "To reuse/repurpose our content, please contact adress@email.com." or something else?

How to make new content Indexed faster by google
I would like to know what can I do. Normally it takes google around 3 days to index my content. I got a site map, swiched the crawling rate to the fastest in my webmaster tools. I also tried crawling my homepage as google bot and sending it to the index with all linked pages but even if I do so my content takes around 3 days if not more to get indexed. I publish around 20 posts a week. My SEOmoz page authority is 48. Some sites of my competition seem to be getting their content indexed in the same day. What else can be done?
