So you have invested time and effort into creating high-quality content. Done series of revisions to ensure your article is a perfect one? Great!
But have you checked your article to confirm if its content is 100% unique? These are the kind of situations faced by content writers, bloggers, and freelancers. You will need to have your content checked to make sure no duplicate exists.
And to do that, you need an effective tool like Copyscape. My review covers this plagiarism software that has become valuable to writers around the world.
Copyscape Overview
Copyscape is a plagiarism tool that is used to verify the uniqueness of a piece of content. It uses a form of AI (Artificial Intelligence) to scan a web page, article, or publication.
Its goal is to find out if a duplicate copy of the content resides on the internet. All you need to do is provide Copyscape with the URL of the content, and a scan will be performed.
Copyscape can also be used to help protect a website from plagiarism. Frequent scans with the tool will indicate if duplicate copies of the pages exist on the internet.

I didn't even know that such software existed.
I guess Copyscape will even locate one own duplicate articles in FB, Youtube, and other social media. I have duplicate content in FB, Youtube, twitter.
I guess that it will find duplicates somewhere. Probably, it is impossible to avoid partial content duplicates.
For example: The animal and/or pet/dog niche. There are hundreds of blogs in this niche. I have found many with almost the same content. All seem original, but saying the same thing.
How can I avoid duplicating something that there seems to be no other way to say it?
Blessings.

I hope that helps. It can be a busy world out there but there is always a new way to look at something.

Then this becomes a 2-part question.
With millions of writers copying parts of other people's content, what is the definition of plagiarism?
The 2nd part, once found how does one effectively police the plagiarism?
You can effectively police plagiarized content by making use of strong plagiarism detection tools like Copyscape and issuing a DMCA takedown notice when found. Thanks again!
