How To Add "You May Also Like" Widget in Blogs

Here's a quick tutorial on how to automatically add "You may also like" or "Show Related Stories" in your blog posts. You should definitely add this kind of widget in you blog to give your readers recommended stories related to the article that they may find interesting.

I used the widget from LinkWithin. Their widget is free to use and doesn't have intrusive ads that may affect the layout of your blog. LinkWithin works by indexing every articles posted in your blog, and generating links  that are added to the bottom of the posts. For a site with lots of content, this kind of suggestive links will keep your readers interested.

Installation is very easy. No messy codes to fumble on. Just head to their website and type in your email, the blog link, choose the platform (Blogger, self-hosted Wordpress, TypePad, or Others), then choose how many recommended posts to display (3, 4, or 5 stories). There's a check box if your blog design has a light text on a dark background. When done, click the Get Widget button.
