Related Posts
Possibly Related Posts is a feature where we’ll try to show posts related to yours in a little section at the end. If we find any posts on your blog that are related, we’ll put those at the very top and in bold. Next we’ll show other posts from around WordPress.com, and finally we’ll check if there’s anything in the mainstream media.
The result is a handful of links that should provide you and your visitors something interesting to check out. On blogs that cover the same topics, frequently related posts could cause a 5-10% increase in traffic overnight. You could also start to see traffic from lots of other blogs.
Below is an example from the WordPress.com News blog of what this looks like.
If you want to remove the related posts from your blog entirely, just go to Appearance->Extras from your Dashboard menu.
Check the box for Hide related links on this blog to turn off the feature.
Additional Info
Possibly Related Posts are only available for English blogs, but we’re working on the technology to roll tis out for every language we support.
If you remove related posts from your blog we’ll remove you from other people’s blogs, so you won’t get traffic from that.
This feature was developed in partnership with Sphere.
