Hello Yakezie members and challengers, Smile

I'm outsourcing few writing for my blog and wondering what is the best way to check and make sure that they are 100% unique and original. 

I came across this site, which is free, but I'm not sure how accurate they are.

I also heard about copyscape, but it looks like you have to pay.  How do you guys check for unique and original writing when you hire someone?

 

Thanks.

I sometimes choose a number of specific phrases from the article and just Google them using the quotation function.  Google will search for exact matches only.  So, if I Google "Extreme Couponing might be unrealistic for the average person" the results are different from Googling Extreme Couponing might be unrealistic for the average person.

 

I do this sometimes to find sites that rip off my articles.

I'm digging my way out of some serious debt at

That's pretty much exactly what I do.  I'll often check parts of two sentences as my search query.  It's never failed me yet.

 

So for the above I might search for "sentences as my search query.  It's never failed"

that will protect you from exact copy pasting but not from plagiarism, which is much harder to detect, unless the plagiarized person comes to you to complain.
