Website Review - Copyscape

by Sushma Verma 2 comments



Writing an article for a blog or a web-site is not an easy task. Either I need to do a little research on the topic or I must be familiar with the topic of which a review is to be written. But some people opt for a "Short Cut way", they just copy-paste content from other's pages to their own. This is called Plagiarism. For me, you can do that as long as you mention the source, from where you get the article. So, if someone has copied your content, how can you know about it?

I just became a victim of Plagiarism yesterday. Two guys copied my registry tweak and posted it on other forums without mentioning the source. This annoyed me and made me to introduce you to COPYSCAPE - Website Plagiarism Search.
