I stopped using related posts a while back. I may start using it again in the future. Really want to get the loading time under control first.

Praslowicz Fri, 25 Jun 2010 18:51:25 +0000 http://website-in-a-weekend.net/?p=390#comment-13377 I set a big series of analytics events about a month or so ago to track internal click patterns to see the trending. The related post plug-in (with thumbnails!) does the most for me to drive visitors deeper into older (and newer!) articles. Anytime I want to do an external link and don't already have a page in mind, my first stopping point is Google blog search filtered for posts within the last month. I figure a recent, on topic post by a blogger will be far more likely to be monitored for inbound links. And also be more likely to check out my site and be converted into a subscriber and possibly get me link back in one of their future posts. Not going to get that linking to Wikipedia.

It's funny. I have two complete posts on "blogging mistakes" in my drafts, which I didn't publish a year ago because everyone and their mother's uncle's brother-in-law 3 times removed was writing about "blogging mistakes."

I've learned since I wrote it a year ago that Google (at least) doesn't "punish" for "duplicate content." It just returns what it decides is the best result. For content on websites sharing an IP address, if I own both of those websites, I'm not sure I care which website gets returned as long as one of them is returned. Last year there was a big noise about IP addresses and SEO. This year, not so much. Probably one of the topical blogging fads, where everyone is all of sudden writing about the same thing.

So I totally agree. If my site is the best I can make it, and people leave, that's ok. They weren't the right people.

Things is that most are "addon" domains and not until recently have I found that this really has not much of a value, except maybe what you brought here. Search engines grouping results by IP address is something I will probably need to learn more about.

Also, thanks for the info about add-on domains. Nobody talks about that stuff. I’ve been linking more and more recently, I think that my posts are more interesting and valuable when I do.
