    Hi Guys,

    You may try the plagiarismdetect(dot)com.

    I have been using that when I ran out of searches in copyscape.

    I hope it is helpful to you as well.

    use Copyscape.com for limited queries.

    try google.com,

    Copy random sentences in the article, and paste to the google search box with quotes,

    e.g; "random sentences here"

    hit enter.

    YES!!
    Use Copyscape till the time you run out of searches and then use plagiarismdetect(dot)com.

    Even DupeFree Pro is also very good to check if you want to compare rewrites.

    I've used plagiarismdetect.com once and it was good. I've always found that the best method is the method guniwan suggested :) My English teacher does it to check our essays if they appear better then they should be haha. Its a good method really because people who thieve others work are often to lazy to change everything. Good luck and I hope no one is stealing your content :p

    Plagium is the best of the free ones I've tried but paying for Copyscape is one of the most worthwhile investments you'll make especially if your dealing with article rewrites.

    I certainly agree. Copyscape is so cheap to use that it's nearly free.

    To check for plagiarism via dupepro just use the online button.

    It will check the whole article or just highlight a paragraph if you want a deeper search

    copyscape is the better one but it only allows you I think 5 or 10 scans so use them wisely

    Here are my 2 cents. Although copyscape charges certain amount, the amount is very less. Plus you can utilize its service wisely. Here is what i do in order to check for plagiarism as well as save money.

    I buy the minimum credits from copyscape premium. Then i club up around 5 to 6 articles of each 300 words into one big text and paste it in copyscape. That means in just one single search, i am checking multiple articles for plagiarism. So in just 5 cents, you can check nearly 10 articles easily. Isn't that worth? Its as good as free tool!

    And trust me, my clients are really happy with my work! :)

    Hope this tip is helpful to you all!

    That's a really great idea. I've never thought of checking multiple articles using one submission. Thanks for the tip!

    hey guys,

    are u sure of the fact that if any document is checked through copyscape, it is not stored in any of the databases that viper does?

    please help me.

    also, it would be highly appreciated if you guys could let me know any of the reliable plagiarism detecting plugin.. i am ok even if it costs a few bucks...

    Will definitely check out some of these sites to make sure I get what I pay for from copywriters.
