How to trace the content I have sold

    Hi All

    I must have sold around 300 articles of different length to different clients. I just did the writings - ghostwriting I should say.

    But, since the topics involved seo articles with proper key word density, in all likelihood, they should have been placed in some web sites.

    I am curious as to whether my writings saw the daylights. And where?

    Can anyone enlighten?

    Thanks
    Eva

    To check that manually, copy four to seven lines and just paste in google search box. Google list the sites wherever the words are included.With that you can easily identify the websites with your content

    Usually if the title is unique and when you search google for "article title" ou might find some articles also.

    As someone else mentioned, I would try googling sentences from your articles. Remember that, if you find them, you still can't take credit for them or post links to them on your portfolio page without permission from the buyer.

    You can find your articles both on articlechecker and copyscape.

    Way to piss off your clients. ;-)

    Seriously, worst. idea. ever.

    Never ever ever republish work you've sold. Never ever ever. Like said before -- put a sentence from your article between "", google it, tadaaa!

    The best way is searching a string of like 15 words in google.

    But make sure the sentence is SHORT, because Google search doesn't always behave as you would expect and it's much more efficient (and accurate) with short phrases rather than long sentences.
