Plagiarism of blog and website content should be a concern for anyone who has a website or blog. Your website or blog content can easily be copied and used by anyone. After making slight changes, your content may be claimed as their own.

How can you find out if your content has been plagiarised?

Copyscape is a website that provides a free service that makes it easy to find copies of your content on the Internet and to protect your site against online plagiarism and content theft.

You can type in the address of your web page and Copyscape will find sites that have copied your content without your permission, as well as sites or blogs that have quoted you.

The free service is limited to 5 searches for your website per month so if you want to perform unlimited searches and more comprehensive results you can subscribe to Copyscape’s Premium Service.

The Copyscape website also has an online forum for discussions about plagiarism.
