Question
Whoa! Just found this wonderful tool - it's pretty thorough. Find text copied from your site on every site it is being used on. Cool!

Answer
Wow that's interesting. Did you find anyone copying your site?
Answer
No - but interestingly enough, I had copied someone else's text onto my site without knowing it! Copyscape found the site, listed the url, and when I checked, sure enough, there was the info I had posted on my site word for word. It was a short paragraph describing a product I had used and liked, but coincidentally, I had described it in the exact same terminology used on the owner's site.
Needless to say, I reworded the text on my site. When I searched again using my same site url, it came up clean - so the engine is right up to date with it's updated information. I was impressed!
Answer
Neat tool! thanks for sharing it with us.
Answer
Yes, thank you! I tried it and immediately found a Trocadero seller copying a glass bowl write-up from my website word for word. For some reason that particular description tends to get stolen a lot (it's been on Tias at least once, on Ebay three or four times), so it's the first page I checked.
Her response to my email asking her to change her description to her own words is a story unto itself.
sneaking a wave to Tanya - I'm still using the beautiful logo you made me
Answer
The forums were interesting but I didn't have any luck with the searches. They were inaccurate at best. Nice program, just not effective enough for me to use.

Hmmmm...
I smell a future Google feature!
