How to add Related Post Widget below each blog post

Many of you would have noticed in many blogs or websites(including mine)at the bottom of each post there are four related posts shown with thumbnails.As i said in one of my earlier posts this helps the visitor stay longer in the blog increasing the chances of a blog post becoming viral.

This will also give a good flexibility to the readers to read posts they might like without having to search or dig around the blog.

According to me there are two best websites that offer this widget for a blog which are

1. Nrelate
2. Linkwithin

The way you can add the widgets through these websites is pretty simple.All you need to do is register your web address and click on submit and a HTML code automatically gets generated through the sites.You can either copy the html code and paste it in the add new gadget container below your blog post in the layout field in the blog dashboard or more conveniently you can select the option on the website itself to add the code automatically without having to copy the code.

I use Nrelate on my blog because it gives great flexibility.There are range of options to choose from.You can select the layout of how you would like the related posts to show,how many posts you would like to display and also Nrelate looks to be more accurate in showing related posts.
