DupeMagic vs. Wordpress Uniquefier Review: Non-Duplicate Content Plugins

You have probably been wondering if all the new Wordpress Plugins which hide duplicate content from Google and other Search Engines actually work or not.  I was planning on reviewing DupeMagic and Wordpress Uniquefier separately, but after working with the 2 Wordpress Plugins I felt it was better to address the entire subject instead of doing it one at a time.

First of all I was quite skeptical that any Pluign could make content appear to be unique, but after some research I found that this was in fact possible.  Yes both Plugins work at making PLR and Scraped content appear unique to Google and other Search Engines.  How is this possible?  Well, both Plugins don’t make the content unique.  They use code to make the Search Engines “SEE” the content as unique.  Both Plugins do it a little differently, but essentially it is the same process.  They take out common words like “a, the, and, and to” and insert numbers and other code.  Wordpress Uniquefier has now been upgraded where it is encrypted and all you see when you view the source code is numbers.

So what makes each Non-Duplicate Content Plugin different? 

DupeMagic is a more high end product where you have options within the WP-Admin section where you can choose to use the 1500 word synonym database to make changes to content and you can then also use the function which uses the code to mask the content from the search engines.   It is a very solid product which currently costs $47 and works with the most current version of Wordpress.

Wordpress Uniquefier is a more low end product focused strictly on making content appear unique. Uniquefier has been upgraded several times over the last several months and completely masks the content from the Search Engines.  This pluign comes with 2 files.  One is the primary (uniquefier.php) and the other (uniquefierA.php) is only supposed to be used if you have issues whith content not aligning properly in your current theme.  This plugin has also shown that it works well with Auto Blog and Affiliate Plugins like phpBay, Autoblogged, and Reviewazon.  *(DupeMagic works with these as well.) Wordpress Uniquefier only costs $14.95 which makes it economical to test and use.  It does not have an admin.  You just load, activate, and go.  When you view the page source on your site, you can see the obvious results.

I guess the big question for everyone is:  Do they work?  The easy answer is Yes.  I have had tremendous results with both programs, in fact I couldn’t tell you which one works better.  I have duplicate content sites which currently rank above the original content.  You still have to promote your site and build backlinks of course.  Normal SEO rules still apply.

The only problem is this:  How long are these Plugins going to work?  I would think that Google is already looking at how to beat these Plugins and see their footprints to devalue their current capabilities.  I personally Disallow their Spiders in my WP-Content folder through my Robots.txt file, but as with anything Google, this isn’t going to be enough I’m sure.

The bottom line is this.  I recommend using these Plugins, but I recommend using them on sites that you don’t care about losing in the event of a Google SLAP.  All of your pages will Pass Copyscape for duplicate content.  It’s not Copyscape you have to worry about though.  It’s Google.  Until they find a way to beat these Plugins, you might as well make a little cash.  I know I am.  Just like anything on the Internet.  It comes in waves.  You have to learn to jump on the wave and ride it out while the technique is profitable.

Enjoy!
