    I'd love to hear your feedback.. So I filled my blog with unique content..then I go and check it on Copyscape.. Copyscape gives me pages that simply have same Social Share Buttons that I have and makes it look like my content is not unique.. Basically what it did was to show me pages that have same words like: share on reddit, share on facebook etc... It totally disregarded entire content of the article.. I went to check those pages that copyscape showed and it didn't have anything close to what i wrote about.. Anyone had same issue? I'll remove those buttons and see what it does

    Copyscape uses spiders to check your site. So they cannot decide for themselves like humans can. Copyscape is meant for humans to decide what to do after they see the results. Your content would be unique and it will not be penalised anywhere else. Don't worry too much about it. It is quite similar to using backlink checkers. It cannot always be 100% accurate :)

    don't worry about it. I always get flagged on copyscape - but when I check closely - it's something minor and says that I have the same words as some blog where there is standard text in the bottom of the page.

    Nothing to worry about, Just because copyscape says your content is not unique does not mean that Google says your content is not unique.

    Do what i do with my blogs and change the standard text into your own words.
