I'm using the similar posts plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/similar-posts/, but I want the similar posts in all over the internet.

is there any tools that when someone copy and paste my article in their own site alert to me?

some of the bloggers don't link to my articles and i want to

Your question is general and not specific to wordpress. Sidenote: you can't prevent people from copying your content and you probably can't stop them without having expensive lawyers all over the world. – Mark Kaplun Jan 31 at 15:50

You won't find a Wordpress plugin to do that - you need to use http://www.copyscape.com or something similar; Good luck getting people to remove your content though, most of them will be automatically generated heaps of junk.

It's impossible to do not being Google. Can you imagine the amount of crawling and parsing you have to do with each post?

There is 61 million blogs using Wordpress, 91 million using Tumblr, more than two millions of posts daily.

Try to use Google Alerts and use a quoted unique piece of your content as query.

I mean in more or less real time. Imagine: meanwhile you get a notification about theft, Google already considered you as thief, because real thief's site has, for example, greater trust rank than yours. See video how to manage authorship. – Max Yudin Jan 31 at 16:13
ok thanks but why a blog that copy one of my posts is higher than me in results? – saber tabatabaee yazdi Feb 1 at 18:04

You're asking if there's a plugin strong enough to scan the entire internet for content that is like the content on your site and then notify you?

The issue is you'd have to have a super complex algorithm to scan and then have super powerful compute to run something like that over the internet.

Basically, no, there is not something like this unless you're talking about Google or Bing.

for example with Google Analytics and filters? and customize them ....? – saber tabatabaee yazdi Jan 31 at 15:03
No, Google Analytics will track information on your site, or a site with the tracking code loaded on. It won't track what all sites around the internet are doing and how they compare to your site. – Jake Lisby Jan 31 at 15:08
this is possible. also with google analytics in custom report that sites listed in inbound traffic list filterd and this report email monthly. ... also with google blogs search also with copyscape.com also with many other tools.. – saber tabatabaee yazdi Jan 31 at 15:50

Google Analytics reports contain those sites who are already pointing to yours. Links are what's making inbound traffic from them. – Max Yudin Jan 31 at 16:19
yes that is correct. i ask 2 different question here because i think about this that may someone copy and dont link to me. webmasters.stackexchange.com/q/42987/21250 webmasters.stackexchange.com/q/42984/21250 – saber tabatabaee yazdi Feb 1 at 18:21
