“Content is the king”, there’s absolutely nothing that differentiates your websites from those of the competitors. However, creating great content requires a lot of research, effort, and expertise with the language. In fact, the quality of the information and the style in which it is provided are the two pillars on which the best quality content stands.
However, you’d know that it is too easy for anybody to copy the content you write after days of research, using all your writing skills. Therefore, it is important for you to have access to tools that let you know as to when and where your content gets copied. Also, if you are using the services of content writers for your websites, you can use tools that check for duplicate content to ensure that they do not, intentionally or non-intentionally, copy content from anywhere.
Here, we introduce BEST and TOP content duplication checking tools to you, both free and paid ones. After going through the features and shortcomings of each, you can make an informed choice about the ones that’ll suit your purposes well.
Please Note : Nowadays these tools have gained lot of importance due to the Google Panda updates which mainly concentrates on the UNIQUENESS of the content. There may be many webmasters who deal with publishing many articles on a single day, and these tools will be very useful in identifying the plagiarized content.

New update!!
Siteliner
It seems like a good tool to check your website and how it performs on search engines. Sadly, it is not accurate as copyscape, but maybe it is in BETA, so it will improve over time.
Note : In the FAQs section of that site i found this “Siteliner is a new free service provided by the creators of Copyscape” so if this is TRUE (i still didn’t confirm), then you should give it a try and let us know your views on this new comer ;).
Reasons why it is created ?
They mentioned in their site that Copyscape normally checks for plagiarized (duplicate) content between a particular page and the entire internet, so they made a tool that can identify and can catch duplicate content within the website.
Site URL – www.siteliner.com
Latest update from one of my good friends (Donna) on Siteliner (March 30, 2013)Siteliner.com is in beta stage right now and seems to offer a lot of details about every page in your site. You type in the url for your post and it swiftly runs a total check of your site showing % of duplication found on the web. It also shows with highlights which words are copied in EACH post in a sidebar. They include an estimate of the SEO power of every page. You will see a listing of internal and external links as well. I just ran into this today and I like how they are a simple and clean site. They show as much as Copyscape regarding plagiarism checks and much more.It is exceptionally easy to see which areas need a boost. I am adding this to my folder of article checkers. I like it. I was surprised to see it advertised on Copyscape this morning.
While using Siteliner.com I wanted to check a freeware program I used a while ago. So I did a search for free online tools for checking article duplication. However, be aware that some of these tools, like DupeCop, are no longer free. And, of course, some are better than others. Copyscape is still one of the royal standards but now it has some competition with Siteliner.
