    Well everyone knows copyscape and its premium membership but I was wondering if there is another way of finding whether an article is plagiarized or not and that too Free with unlimited usage. May be a website or some software. (Don't say google!) :)

    I am fine if I don't get the same level of precision as copyscape (which is expected) as long as it works.

    There is no way of being truly sure, even Copyscape can only tell you if it has been plagiarised from the web. The only absolute defence against plagiarism is to write the article yourself, from scratch - secure in the knowledge that it is not plagiarised from another source, either hard copy or electronic.

    Threads like this make you feel good to be a copywriter :)

    I know that 100% of the content on my personal websites is unique :cool:

    More to the point, I have only used copyscape so far, I thought it was the best one to ensure that the content is unique.

    But that's just my opinion, I may actually try to find alternatives to find out :D
