Hi Fellow Affiliates and Vendors (yes, I am both ) Just released yesterday after long testing dupeoff.com (vendor id DUPEOFF), a plagiarism and duplicate content detection software, the FIRST on CB. In free mode, the tool checks 4 sentences max, 5 times per day, and if the user wants more they need to buy a package! Give it a try at http://dupeoff.com/node/add/report NO Need to write articles, just install the WordPress Plugin for both Affiliates and Users As an affiliate myself, I know how setting up a promotion can take a lot of effort, so I built a cool wordpress plugin that makes this a breeze. Grab the DupeOff Wordpress plugin and on the settings page enable the copy protection warning buttons with your affiliate id! You dont need to do anything else, and can use it easily with your existing wp sites. I thought I will gather some conversion stats before posting here, but since a few sales already trickled in from the WP plugin, I thought lets not waste time. Will update the thread with more stats later on, but if you are adventurous and want to be there when the tide starts grab the WP Plugin and put up the DupeOff buttons under your posts, this way you will inform your visitors that you protect your content, and also make referrals at the same time! You get 50% of every sale, with 5$, $20 and $35 packages, more info at dupeoff.com.
Thanks for asking! Sure you can use copyscape for free, but only for URLs. For text searches you must use CopyScape Premium that costs 5 cents per check. DupeOff checks your text or your url per sentence or subsentence which gives a more accurate result, and the checks are free for the first 4 sentences, 1 cent for full checks. When you enter a url for copyscape it gives back Google like results but it is not clear what algorithm it uses. DupeOff algorithm is transparent, and provides a comprehensive report, plus it also has a cool wordpress plugin, making checks easier for content owners. You can see it for yourself, give it a try at dupeoff.com. So to sum up, DupeOff is much more transparent and cheaper, 1 cent per check, while copyscape API is 5cents... (http://www.copyscape.com/faqs.php#procost) Put up a nice comparison table between "Competitors" and DupeOff on the landing page http://dupeoff.com/find-plagiarism-and-duplicate-content-easily Made a few sales so far as a vendor, too bad it does not count towards the CB gravity
Hello Partners, Just a little update that sales started to trickle in with hardly any promotion (only vendor sales from the plugin so far). Nothing sensational (yet) but it shows there is some money to be made here. Get your WP Plugin and put up the cool "Dont Copy - DupeOff" affiliate links on your posts. Or if you dont have WP, you can grab the buttons and put up the one you like on your site. (Make sure to nofollow your affiliate link to avoid a Google penalty...) Show your visitors you care about copyright, and make money at the same time Here are some button samples as well, more colors and sizes on the affiliate page:
Hello Partners, Time for an update after a few hundred dollars of sales, but low affiliate activity. I recently updated DupeOff to query multiple search engines at the same time (Bing and Google), take a look at a sample report here: http://dupeoff.com/report/8584 so this is becoming a kick ass and unique tool! Decent sales coming from the Wordpress plugin with almost 2000 installs already http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/dupeoff/stats/ TIPS FOR AFFILIATES: If you have programming skills, writing a plugin for a popular CMS or online solution SEO : Many people are searching for "duplicate content checker" or "plagiarism detection" Tons of forum discussions on plagiarism and duplicate content tools, including copyscape, the biggest competitor.
Hello Partners, Just released a new feature, where submitted content can be periodically rechecked! DupeOff is becoming an essential copyright protection monitoring tool. An alternative solution is Copysentry from Copyscape.
