Our common sense says that whenever we publish, it is only original content that we publish on our website. However, this doesn't seem to be correct in some cases. As there is a lot of duplicate content available online.

Using duplicate content in the online world or in the offline world is not accepted under any circumstances. It isn’t a pleasant experience who is reading this content as they may find similar content on all the domains. That is one of the reasons search engines make efforts to bar this practice.

1. Let us first understand the concept of Duplicate content:

As per Wikipedia - "Duplicate content is a term used in the field of search engine optimization to describe content that appears on more than one web page. The duplicate content can be substantial parts of the content within or across domains and can be either exactly duplicate or closely similar."

In simple language, if you copy-paste your own content on multiple websites it is termed as Duplicate content. Similarly, if someone else is copying your content it is also termed as Duplicate content.

2. What is the Impact of Duplicate content?

To get the best search experience, search engines may ignore the duplicate content and give the most relevant results to its users.

Consequently, this may impact your website reputation in case you've published duplicate content or someone else has picked up your content. In such cases, the whole purpose of your publishing web content gets defeated.

3. How to check if your content is duplicate:

Sometimes, we choose a topic for which the content is either completely or some part of it is already available online. Due to which our content may look duplicate.

It is always recommended to check the plagiarism of our content before publishing it. There are several tools available online that help you to check Plagiarism.

Some of the tools are Smallseotools, Duplichecker, Plagspotter, Siteliner, Copyscape, so on, and so forth.

• Smallseotools – This is a kind of SEO tools for plagiarism checker that finds the duplicate content.

• Duplichecker – This tool confirms the uniqueness of your content before you upload it on the website.

• Plagspotter – This tool recognizes the duplicate portion of your content on all network and finds plagiarist who stole your content. It is recommended that Plagspotter should be used on a regular basis to keep a track of your website if someone duplicates your content.

• Siteliner – This tool helps you to check your website every month for duplicate content.

• Copyscape – This tool checks your content and highlights the same content that is already available on some other website. It gives you the exact percentage of content that is available on another website.

You can also opt for some premium tools like - Grammarly, Plagium, Plagarismcheck.org.

• Plagium – This tool offers a free quick search and the best in-depth search.

Conclusion

With this, I'd like to conclude, that people try to find some original and meaningful content on the internet. People like to read more relevant information then some duplicate content. It is always advisable to write some helpful and fresh content to ensure the best user and search experience.

In case you wish to make a career in online content writing then it is very important that you should keep these tools handy and to copyright your content. When you take up a course for content writing you get the opportunity to learn about Plagiarism tools.
