i'd suggest don't load related posts on page load because dramatically hurt website's performance.
the free wordpress plugin related posts wordpress automatically finds related posts (amongst others based on title) , caches them you, offering real related posts without hurting website's performance. after automatic linking done can, if required, manually add, edit or delete related posts. plugin comes template tags can display related posts anywhere in custom theme want. use rp4wp_children() in theme want related posts displayed.
you can give try via wordpress.org repo: http://wordpress.org/plugins/related-posts-for-wp/
