Increase your Readership with Related Posts

Are you looking for a fast and easy way to keep your visitors reading your blog?  If so, one of the easiest ways is to include a related post plugin.

A related post plugin will display to your readers some other of your posts which are related to the ones they are already looking at, these could be matched by keywords, title and tags.  The more time the reader spends on your site is advantageous in every way.  So lets look at some of the best related posts plugins out there for wordpress.

• Yet Another Related Posts Plugin - Probably my favourite due to its simplicity, after the easy install, it automatically displays related posts at the bottom of every post.  You can also adjust this plugin to work on your RSS feed.  Related pages function also implemented.
• Wordpress Related Posts Plugin - Another fast and easy option, simiar to the above and can run in the sidebar.
• Contextual Related Posts - Displays a list of 5 related posts to the one you are reading.  These related posts will appear just below the comments form.  Easy to use and install.

Those 3 are probably the best ones out there today, some Wordpress themes have this function already integrated which is a bonus for some.
