Related Posts Plugin
My friends let me share with you Yet Another Related Posts Plugin (YARPP). This is an amazing tool, and would now easily make my top 5 wordpress plugins for SEO post, knocking Sociable off.
Ok so I was looking for a way to improve my internal linking, I even started doing it manually, finding posts, putting links to related ones, using my brain like a sucker. Then I thought of Matt Cutt’s blog and how Google’s main SEO man is using related posts, telling me its a good idea. A little search on his blog and we find Matt himself has done a post on Related posts plugins.
Really it is great, it calculates how related posts are by: body content, title, catergories etc, and you can influence all these calculations, then say how high, or how closely related a post needs to be to show up, and if its not related, dont show it.
A view of some of the options within YARPP:
