How to detect the copy-pasting or plagiarism

[dexter]

I have seen many threads in this fourm and many others in which members will just make threads or post by copy pasting the contents from other articles....

Here is the simple way to find it out

Navigate to http://www.copyscape.com/
Post the thread URL in it ..ex: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=156 (http://www.9zap.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=156)
Click Go
You can see the articles similar to it in the results just cross check whether the article in it is exactly the same as that of the thread...

That's all

See it's very easy to find out the plagiarism...There are several more methods to find out but this is the simplest method...

DO MENTION THE SOURCE IF YOU HAVE COPIED THE CONTENTS FROM ELSEWHERE..

You can very easily see it by eye. If something isn't typed up in firs tperson perspective, it can be plagarised.
For example:

"Backlinks (or back-links (UK)) are incoming links to a website or web page. In the search engine optimization (SEO) world, the number of backlinks is one indication of the popularity or importance of that website or page (though other measures, such as PageRank, are likely to be more important). Outside of SEO, the backlinks of a webpage may be of significant personal, cultural or semantic interest: they indicate who is paying attention to that page."

This is from wikipedia about Backlinks. You can very easily see that it's copy and paste becaues of the vocabulary and stuff. PEople don't usually type this good.

Now here is another i wrote about back links my self based on the information:

"Backlinks are URLS or links that are posted to link a page to your own page. People use backlinks to optimize their page in search engines, because most search engines look for how many back links a site has, to determine whether the site or page has good content, and this puts it in higher ranking to the first relevant result."

If you notice any irregularity you can automaticly see that it's copied or pasted. You can also do a quick google search of the first sentence of the paragraph to see if any site has the exact content.
