On WordPress sites, posts display in reverse chronological order by default. This order ensures visitors see your newest posts first, which can help to drive up the number of views on those posts faster.

The problem is if you have a lot of content on your site, then older posts will become buried and visitors will be less likely to read them. To make sure visitors can find and view all your posts, no matter when they were published, you can add internal links in your posts and pages. Linking to related posts — rather than the newest — will help visitors discover more of your content, which may keep them on your site longer.

Let's say you add internal links in your posts and pages and keep the display of most recent posts in your sidebar. The problem is a displaying your most recent posts might not be helpful to your readers.

Let's say they found one of your posts about SEO organically. They read and enjoyed it, but want to learn more. When they look to the sidebar of your site however, they only see your most recent posts, which are all about blogging and video marketing. If you have internal links within the post, they might choose to click one of those and stick around on your site. But that's best case scenario. Worst case scenario: they go back to Google, type in a new search query, and click on someone else's post.

To ensure your visitors can easily find all the content they need, you can add a display of related posts in your sidebar, footer widget areas, and at the end of a post. You just need a WordPress plugin to do it.

In this post, we'll explore the best related posts plugin for WordPress so you can provide your visitors with the best experience possible.
