Plagiarism allows you to search the internet for phrases you may have inadvertently duplicated in your posts and pages. Google, since the Panda update, has been giving such duplicate content a very low ranking. Plagiarism also allows you to search for copies of your own posts and pages, identifying posts that may have been copied and posted elsewhere on the internet. The results list will show the phrase used for the search and their status. Clicking the phrase will open a window to the search so you can see the sites that were searched.


There are several Settings supported by Plagiarism functions that are explained below.

Proxy Options




The reason behind using proxies is, whenever you search content on google without proxy, google detects the number of searches performed from specific IP addresses and puts captcha so the script cannot process more queries in this case you get warnings from the script. to avoid these issues and the IP ban of your server we recommend you use the proxies which will be used by the script to get you proper Plagiarism results.


Proxy list  You can try using free proxies but be warned that they are typically slow. If you have your own list of private proxies they will be rotated for each search so heavy hits from one IP address will be spread out.

Insert one proxy per line, as USER:PASSWORD@IP:PORT 

[example myName:myPassword@88.208.107.2:8080]
