In reality, especially online it is difficult to find out who are those copying a content. Plagiarism is not new in online marketing and SEO. It is actually the number one Black Hat SEO strategy.
No wonder why Google created updates. These updates are specially created to fight spam, duplicated contents, and other Black Hat SEO techniques.
According to John Phanchalad, marketers and SEOrs should avoid plagiarizing copy as Googe automatically panalyzes anyone who will violate their guidelines. To avoid plagiarizing content, here the steps:
Take Your Time In Writing Any Topic. Remember your school days where everyone is rushing to finish projects before 2 or 3 days of deadlines. Usually,students commit plagiarism as they are rushing to finish their reports as they don’t have enough time to think about how to write creatively. To avoid rushing on the day of the deadline, practice managing your time by organizing your schedule so you can give yourself enough time to research, write, and rewrite every time.
Read Multiple Sources So You Have Options On Which Topic You Should Focus On. By reading many different sources, it will be easier for you to combine all that information that you got into content that is not only original, but also informative and useful.
Give Credits To Author. If your source was from a website, include multiple links if needed within a post.
Paraphrase. You have to think and create your own word in explaining a topic and of course your thought.
Multiple Drafts.In this way, you can avoid stealing other writers’ words and polishes your own words to make your post more coherent with each revision.
