then use the search engine monitors we talk about in the next chapter to keep up with new
matches on your content. depending on how often you add content or how many snippets you
want to monitor, you may have to update these searches often.
Monitoring for content snippets is ine in many cases, but for articles you might want to monitor
the content of entire pages. Copyscape (copyscape.com) lets you enter the urL of a page and
get other Web pages whose content is uncomfortably close to matching it. i ind that if i do
this with the front page of my site, i get a lot of people making use of my rss feeds. however,
if you have an article or information that's supposed to be accessed by subscribers only, you
might want to monitor in this way to make sure that your content is not being circulated in an
unauthorized way.
Copyscape provides only a limited number of results with a free account. For more results,
and to get automatic e-mails when new matches of your content appear, you can sign up for a
Copysentry account. Copysentry costs $4.95 a month or $19.95 a month, depending on the level
of service you want.
it's too easy to be paranoid about your content on the internet being stolen. But it's also easy to
set up monitors to assure that you become aware of any instances of theft. preparing yourself
without dwelling on the possibilities is a good strategy.
