Last month i visited the many blogs to check their SEO and their design but what i see is that i found 20% blogs without
Related Post Widget and some others without
Recent Post Widget. After all i checked the Google Page Rank and unfortunately, their ranks are very poor. Do you know why? Wait... let me explain.
What is Related Post Widget?
Related Post Widget are the links displayed below the blog/website post, images, videos and articles. It is created with the combination of
JavaScript CSS and
HTML. It's main purpose is to keep a blog reader stay on your blog. So it increases the page previews that's the best for Google page rank.
How Does Related Post Widget Works?
Related Post Widget works with the Labels. If there is no label, there is not related post. So, before you follow this tutorial, make sure that you have published your blog posts within the labels.
How to Add Labels In Blogger Posts?
If you are going to publish a new blog post just click create
New Post and text editor will get open now you will see the
Labels or if you have already published a many blog post, click
Edit and then enter your label name. You have to follow the same procedure for each post individually. (ScreenShot)
Enter your label name and click
Done.
Adding Related Post Widget to Blogger
- Login to you Blogger and Navigate to the Template >> Edit HTML.
- Click anywhere inside the Template Editor Press C + F and locate the <b:includabe'>.
Just above the
<b:includabe'> tag, past the below code.
<!-- Related Posts widget by http://knigulper.blogspot.com/-->
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<b:loop values='data:post.labels' var='label'>
<b:if cond='data:label.isLast != "true"'>
</b:if>
<script expr:src='"/feeds/posts/default/-/" + data:label.name + "?alt=json-in-script&callback=readpostlabels&max-results=50"' type='text/javascript'/>
</b:loop>
<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-4'>
<div class='relatedpoststitle'>RELATED POSTS</div>
<div id='relatedpostssum'>
<script type='text/javascript'>showrelated();</script>
</div>
<div style='clear:both;'/>
</div>
</b:if>
<!-- Related Posts with Thumbnails Code End by http://knigulper.blogspot.com/-->
3. Now again click Press
C +
F and locate the
</head> tag
4. Paste the following CSS and JavaScript code just above the
</head>
Style 1:
