A New Feature from WordPress

Posted on May 7, 2008 by Game Dame

WordPress recently introduced a feature that will probably improve your hit count. They are calling it “Possibly Related Posts” and it appears at the bottom of all WordPress posts automatically. (You have to be looking at the permalink version of your post, not the home page version, in order to see it.) This feature looks for pages on your blog and other people’s blogs that seem to be similar to the post you’re reading. It’s like when YouTube or Amazon offers you recommendations based on what you’ve just viewed. Pretty cool, I think. Not only for bloggers but also for me as a reader — to find new and interesting blogs to read that I normally never would have read!

Here’s what it looks like at the bottom of my Running of Da Bulls post, linking to another post on my blog:

And here’s what one looks like linking to another blog entirely from my Stranglethorn Vale Fishing Contest post:

Cool, huh? Tawk amongst yourselves…

    Sadly, the links don’t appear on the RSS reader.
