How do colleges tell who wrote an essay?

I've been looking for some essay topic ideas online and I found lots of sites where a college student gives them their writing assignment and they write the paper for them, allowing the student to turn it in as their own work for a price. Is their any way for colleges or professors to catch this type of cheating?

    and to add. Once you write a paper, most experienced college professors can tell when another paper is not written by the same person.

    There are also websites that teachers use to search the web to confirm that a paper is not being reused or plagiarised. Once your caught, you can be ejected from some schools. If that person that just wrote your paper for a few $ decided to just reuse one of their old papers you will be screwed.
