Would just like to get some insight on what i can use to best detect plagarism on articles. I have some potential freelance writers at the moment and for now and the future i want to see what the best way to check there work would be.

thanks BHatters in advance

have you heard of copyscape? should help you
http://www.copyscape.com/

Copyscape is the way to do it.

on copyscape when i go to the site, it tells me to enter http://
what do i do there ? i have a 500 word article that needs to be checked

you would first need to publish it on your page, then enter the website url

oh i see, thank you.
it would be ok to publish on a blog right?

yes, it would work on a blog, article site, any website, maybe even a forum, not sure about that

anybody built up a good set up for associated content?

Just make a blog at blogger.c0m to check your articles. Copyscape will eventually 'expire' after 10 searches. Just make a new blog again under the same account and you can use copyscape again.

Don't forget to delete your test blogger entry or it will be found by AC.

As for everything else, I think outsourcing the articles for $1 max is the best method when using AC.

But if you don't have money, then just rewrite the articles by yourself at first or find a textbook in your house. Copy it and sell to AC. When money pours in, outsource the work. Auto-money.

Copy*scape is the most popular, however here are a few that you can paste your articles into and check for plagarism.

I have used all of them and not had any problems, although I think copy*scape is the best.

Hey thanks for the links guys.

But it's super easy to beat copyscape

And could you show us an example of how easy it is...???

OK, CHECK IT OUT. I took this
