I'm trying to find duplicate content for my site. I'm getting confused as I get different types of word combination and I'm not able to come out to any conclusion. Friends...are there any better tool in the web to find it? Please suggest.

Thanks

you might copy and paste an entire sentence of your article, put it in quotes, and then search for it.

Extension to the above question:

How to check duplicate content at the time of developing the content ? Is there any tool ?

I'm tempted to think we may not be understanding your question. Rather, I suspect you're NOT looking for any duplication of your existing content. Instead, you're hoping to to find articles that you can add to what you already have.
If I'm correct in this interpretation of your question, I think the answer lies -- and I can imagine that you don't need to be reminded of it! -- in a systematic search of Google et al for sites that could contain (or provide links to) chunks of text or specific articles that deal with your topics.
The findings may push you into getting permission to reproduce all or parts of the pages or documents you unearth. It may also call for some payment from you.
In any case, though, I have real doubts that any software program exists to help you in the task. Or, if you wish, I can't help thinking that the journey has to be yours and yours alone.
