One of the more important tools for you to implement as soon as humanly possible on all of your WordPress blogs or websites, adding a related post plug-in can give you a bump in visitor interaction as well as customer conversion that you just won’t be able to see any other way.

The main objective of getting people to your blog or website is to have them take action, and the best way to do that is by influencing them to stick around to see your content, engage with your information, and get hooked by your advertising or marketing.

This is exactly what the best related post plug-ins for WordPress do.

Wp-Thumbie

While many of the related post plug-ins for WordPress out there will do little more than add a couple of quick textbased hotlinks to other content that you have across your blog, this specific tool will not only create thumbnails of the feature picture in each and every one of the related posts but it will also set things up in a clean and attractive drop-down box.

Allowing you to control all of the different features in regards to how it is displayed – as well as the criteria for including a related post – this is as powerful a tool as you’ll find.

Yet Another Related Posts Plugin

Though its name suggests that it was a little late to the ballgame, YARPP (as it is affectionately known) is probably the granddaddy of all related post plug-ins for WordPress. Allowing complete and total control over almost every single option that you could ever want to include in the backend of a related post plug-in, this offers ridiculous flexibility that you just don’t find anywhere else. Of course, there are no thumbnails included with this specific option – but it more than makes up for it in other areas.

nrelate Related Content

A tool that was specifically designed to spread related post content all over each and every single one of your WordPress pages, this is another powerhouse tool that is widely regarded across the industry. Offering you the ability to include thumbnails or just plain text – or a hybrid of both – there are five included skins that can change a lot of the visual details as well.

WordPress Related Posts

If it wasn’t the original related posts plug-in produced for WordPress, it was pretty close. This is one of the older options – but don’t let it age full you, it is still definitely up to the task. The only issue in using this particular related plug-in solution is that it contains a link at the end of every post, making it a little bit difficult to move around wherever you want to place this information.

Related Posts Thumbnails

Shockingly similar to the related post plug-in for WordPress option above, the only major difference between the two is that this one offers you the ability to insert related post thumbnails directly after your posts rather than just a simple text link. Other than that, almost identical clones.

    YARP is the best Related posts plugin in my opinion. But the only drawback is it consumes a lot of server’s CPU usage.

    Hey Edward,

    Nice post! WP-Tumbie huh? Well, it looks like another plugin will be installed in my site again. With its features regarding thumbnails, who wouldn’t want to have this plugin installed? Well, I just hope it will be compatible with my other installed plugins though.
