“Free Plagiarism Detection” is the tagline of the CopyrightSpot site, and that is exactly what this recently-launched web service does. In principle, you supply the address of the page that contains your original writing and the application conducts a search that shows you if these particular contents have been subjected to online plagiarism.

In addition to entering the URL of the page in question, you can use a blog feed as starting point of the plagiarism detection process. This is a nice touch, as it broadens the scope this application has by providing a more thorough way of monitoring online contents.

As the author of CopyrighSpot correctly points out, this service can help the user have a better page rank by identifying attribution links which are missing from sites which are employing his writings without notice. What’s more, the user can develop new business relationships with sites that are keen on the way he writes.

Lastly, you can stay abreast of the latest developments as regards this web-based application by signing up for free e-mail updates. Just follow the provided link.
