Yeah, just about every auto-posting plugin out there has struggled with the duplicate posting problem for years with no success. It turns out that WordPress doesn't finalize a post immediately and therefore doesn't correctly report duplicates until after the permalink is officially set. Since adding the hook on wp_insert_post_data, which is the very last event in handling a post, we haven't seen any duplicate post problems from AutoBlogged. It was such a big discovery for us we couldn't keep it to ourselves, glad it helped you out with your own bot!Works great. I use it in combination with my own wp post bot

It is working for me except 1 small issue, all duplicates are marked as draft and it is impossible to move them to trash unless I deactivate Dupechecking plugin.
Other than that all seems to be working fine on my latest 3.4.2 WP, thanks!

that's very bad actually it should remove move newest post to the trash directly instead marked draft is there any improvement about this issue ? or any other plugin works this way i don't want plugin search entire db and all duplicate removal plugin i found were scans entire db which i can't accept. any help would be appreciated
Bumping it.
Plugin works but as stated posts get auto drafted instead of just trashed or simply ignored. And then they won't go away unless the plugin is deactivated. I mean I guess it's pretty cool to see exactly how many dupes it catches but probably not at the cost of disk space. Playing around abit with the php file for the plugin to see if I can fix it. If someone else already has, please let me know how.

Question is bit old, but there is nice plugin exists now "Duplicate Title Checker" which does the same thing. You can download plugin from official WP plugin repository. This plugin provides real-time alerts for duplicate or valid post title. Hope it will help someone else too.
