Introduction

Have you been flagged for duplicated content on Hubpages and don't know why? Use this handy tool for all your rewrites. This writing tool points out which parts of your article is duplicated and it's free.

The Best Writing Tools for Writers

If you are a Hubpage writer than you know about the duplicated content filter. On Hubpages if your article has to much duplicated content your content gets flagged by the content filter.

On Hubpages you cannot put duplicated content even if you are the author of the content. This means you cannot simply copy an article that you wrote from another writing site or blog and republish your article here on Hubpages.

Your article must be original or the content filter will flag your article for either duplicated content or plagiarized content.

In the Hubpage forum I see writers all the time wondering what parts of their article is duplicated or plagiarized.

I have dealt with this issue myself while researching articles. When you do research on an article topic it’s easy to accidentally copy parts of someone elses content.

I have also done some rewrites on articles I wrote along time ago that is when I found this free tool.

Every writer needs this free tool because it does more than check your article for duplicated content it shows you where your content is duplicated. Everywhere your article is duplicated it’s highlighted no guessing.

This writing tool also has a keyword density checker as well. Which works like a charm!

Once you have download this writing tool you can click the help button at the top. You will find all the free features and paid features that come with this writing tool.

This tool is not the same as all the other plagiarized content checkers that simply give you a percentage of how duplicated the article is but shows you what parts that need to be rewritten.

Note: The Extreme Content Checker has a glitch when you open the file. Open file a box appears with 3 buttons to click. Click all 3 than hit the close button. Extreme Content will open up to an advertise page click no thanks. Now a page appear so you can paste the flagged content on left side rewrite your article in the other side.

Settings: Scroll to the bottom look to the right you will see a setting that says "words" I recommend you click and choose sentence. Look to the left of that setting. you will see minimuin length. I set mine at 3. Scroll to the top left side click compare.

The software will highlight any words that are duplicated. Ignore single words that are duplicated. Only change any 3 words or more that is duplicated..

Look at the bottom you will see a % of duplicated content. You do not want no more than 20%. duplicated content. Your goal should be 0 that means your article is a 100% original.

This hub caught my eye because I was flagged for duplicate content for an original article that I wrote from scratch based upon personal experience in my line of business. I almost quit writing for hubpages, because of it. Anyway, I will look into the software just in case it should happen again. Thank you for the information.

I just tried to down load Dupe Free Pro. It keeps wanting me to download a ptf for making ptf documents. How do I download without the ptf that takes up a lot of disk space.

I was not familiar with this particular software, so thank-you for sharing. I have never been flagged for duplicate content (knock on wood), but I realize it could happen despite me writing everything for the first time on my own from scratch.

I also want to share that I have used the Free software of Dupe Free Pro. It also highlights which sections are duplicated, and you can adjust the filters in many ways.

tamron....Voted up and away on this hub, which caught my attention, for I have been tagged for Content Duplication, but for, get this, NOT copying from a source....but a writer NOT on hubs. I have yet to understand how whomever tagged me could tell what I was writing from my imagination....and having NOT been anywhere but on Hubs, tag me for this. But Im not one to trouble the water, so I rewrote that certain hub three times...and it finally went by. Mysteries were never easy for me. But this is a very helpful hub. Thank YOU.

I downloaded the software and it doesn't install correctly. Says its in violation with some window file. Oh well. I thought it might help with the one hub I have that is flagged as duplicate content.

This is a useful article. I have had occasions to rewrite some of my articles as well after being flagged for duplicate content. I do agree that this could be accidental at times, especially if dealing with certain information and facts that are absolute.

Thanks. I have rewritten articles well that still turn out to be flagged for duplicate. I don't hand spin them, but do a rewrite while combining info from several articles. Everything gets rewritten. I don't get it. I use Copyscape which is popular among clients I write for. I think it is horrible that our content is flagged as duplicate if there is only a few sentences that are the same as our original. That is ridiculous.

I just downloaded this one to see how well it compares to Copyscape which is not free but cheap.
