A simple trick to keep visitors on your blog longer is to add a list of links to related posts at the end of each of your blog entries. Naturally, the posts you include need to be truly relevant to your visitors in order for this trick to work.
By including links to related posts in each of your blog entries, you make it easy for your visitors to read more about a topic of interest to them. If a visitor takes the time to read one of your posts in its entirety and finds links to related posts at the end of that entry, it's highly likely that he or she will be interested enough in that topic to want to read more about it. Your related posts links makes it incredibly easy for that visitor to keep reading with a simple click of the mouse.
There is a popular Wordpress plugin that automates the process to add related posts to the end of each of your blog entries, but the results the plugin pulls aren't always the best in terms of being closely related and of high interest to your visitors. Many bloggers take the time to manually create a list of related posts at the end of each of their blog entries.
The method you choose to add related posts to your blog entries is up to you, but if you want to keep visitors on your blog longer, develop reader loyalty or simply increase your page views to support your monetization efforts, then try experimenting with adding related posts. Remember to use a blog statistic tracker to determine how well your efforts are working.
