What is the Best Related Posts Plugin Widget to use?

8 replies
Hi,

I have done search on Wordpress and WarriorForum.com about that, but I see a lot of plugins that haven't been updated in several years and it says they're compatible up to only an old version of Wordpress.

I have tried some of them, but they're not a widget.

Can you recommend any great "related posts widget plugin" that you use (free or paid)?

  • Abdullah,

    I like Yet another related post plugin. It gives you templates for customizing how results turn out for users and has support for displaying related posts in RSS feeds.

    WordPress › Yet Another Related Posts Plugin « WordPress Plugins

    Hope that helps,
    Shawn

      I have the YARPP too, but I'm not sure whether it's safe to use or not, it asks to make changes on databases.


      And YARPP haven't a widget option.

    The one I use is...

    WordPress › WordPress Related Posts « WordPress Plugins

    I like it because it shows the featured images (or a stock image) for the related posts along with the title.

    Cheers,
    Coby

    I'm using engageya's related posts plugin WordPress › Cross-Promotion Content Recommendations by Engageya « WordPress Plugins
    You can see it on my site.
    It allows me to show my facebook page related posts as well and also to promote my posts on other related sites, to get some more traffic.

    I'd recommend (and use) Zemanta over NRelate and YARPP, although I'd look into NRelate as well -- whichever works better for your site. A lot of others use NRelate, since there are so many different looks. Personal preference, but out of all the related posts plugins (there are zillions), those are my two favorite.

      I knew your face was familiar, just saw your comment on the YouTube Channel Gallery plugin on wordpress.org

      Thanks jpweber. I have been using nrelate on my site fir a while. I have not heard of Zemanta before. I looked it up after your recommendation and it is very interesting.

      Zemanta, in addition to recommending your own posts also recommends related posts from across the web and in turn promotes your posts to other users. In this way you get new unique visitors to your site.

      This sounds really fantastic. I think I am going to change nrelate with Zemanta.

      Thank you for your tip

    I recommend taking one and using it. Focus on marketing not webmastering
