    i dont think so but you can put an 1px image in place of any . (dot) in the end of sentence with a backlink to your website. i dont think they will regognize it :)

    How do hidden links prevent people from copying content?

    they dont prevent people from stealing but at least add a value to your content in eyes of search engines like google. they steal your content and they give something back, a backlink ;)

    One of "related posts" plugin will do the job.

    Thanks for all your recommendations, I'm also thinking of placing some links and blending it with the background color, by so doing, the links won't be seen but do google penalise for doing such things, my plan is to remove the hidden links on my site after they must have been copied

    If they were smart enough to work around the copy protection plugin don't you think they will notice the backlinks and just remove them?

    Practically, you can't stop people to copy your content.
    However, you can file DMCA complain and forward that to their webhost asking to turn those copycats down.

    As mentioned by others above, hidden placing hidden links within your code is not recommended and in any case anyone with a bit of know-how will be well-aware of how to remove them before duplicating your content on their website. However, if you do insist on doing this you can always add a hidden link using an in-line span style element as shown below:

    <p>This is the paragraph text. This is the paragraph text with a <span style="display:none"><a href="http://www.yourdomain.com">hidden link</a></span> inside it.</p>
    Code (markup):
    As mentioned, I don't recommend doing this, but it can be done!
