What is a Plagiarism Finder?

The Plagiarism Finder is also known as the Duplicate Content Checker. It can be used to find duplicates on the Internet. It is also possible to check texts to see whether they already exist on the Internet and have been copied.

What significance does a plagiarism finder have for SEO?

A duplicate content checker should always be used in the area of search engine optimization. Duplicate content can significantly damage the ranking of a website. It is therefore essential to check the texts. This is the only way to avoid ranking disadvantages and detect plagiarized texts.

However, a plagiarism finder does not provide a guarantee. Instead, it only provides a little more security with regard to legal infringements. There are also many pages on the Internet that may not even have been included in Google's index. They cannot then be checked for plagiarism.

What problem does a duplicate content checker cause?

In addition to the fact that a plagiarism finder does not offer 100 percent security, there is another problem. The software would have to be set to a low sensitivity level. However, this means that even phrases with three or four words are suspected of being plagiarized. However, these are usually only phrases that are used indescribably often online due to their familiarity. If the sensitivity is set higher, possible duplicates may not be recognized.
