Is there anyway to see if your article at ezines has been used on other peoples site?


copyscape would allow you to put in your domain of your blog and find your copied content but that's not what I am looking for I want to know of a easy method to located copied articles I have submitted to article sites and see if they been used on other peoples blogs , sites whatever.

 

what i usually do is take a sentence out of the article that i know is unique....go to google and put quotation marks around the sentence. so it would look something like this in your search bar:

"Golf was first played in Scotland many years ago before Henry Ford invented the assembly line"

the search result should only come up showing your site...if it shows multiple, you article might have been duplicated. this is why you need to search for a "unique" sentence out of your article, so it really narrows down the possibility of finding copied articles.

 

Absolutely. The more specific, the better the results. I know I use this method every day here.

 

Some people put special 'typo' keywodrds in their articles to make them easier to trace. Some people take them out before use. Good luck!

 

John, you can try articlechecker.com and I'm sure it's the right software to know whether your article has been plagiarized or not. I hope it helps.

 

I use articlechecker as well.

Or, I copy and paste the article into a blog post and check copyscape against this new blog post url. Obviously the article directory will show up, but all others and thieves as well!

 

I always do the "snippet from article" search as ploked suggested, works well. As an upside (or downside if you hate them), you'll also run into finding all the scraper sites & splogs

 

Just google with one paragraph of your article and you'll see...

 

I use google alerts to track my articles at ezine and I also google the first paragraph of the article I've posted.
I was able to crack down plagiarizers using these methods.

 

I'm not sure if you are looking for ways to catch copy-cat bad guys, or the good guys who liked your article and downloaded it for authorized content on their site. If it's the latter, check the backlinks to your site using something like Yahoo Site Explorer. If somebody used your article and left the resource box intact, the link should be pointing to your site. That way you can tell which articles are working for you.

 

Yes, I was like going to say, whats the overall goal here...honestly, there is very little you can do even if you find your article on millions of other sites, be fortune enough some of them kept your resource in tact so you get a back link to be thank-ful for...

 

use a backlink checker to find out the one linking to your site. can be found that way.

 

It is a hard word but it canhelp you alot

 

Do a Google search of your name as you have it in the resource.

Then if it is being used with your name, you should find it.
