I’ve tried a number of different WordPress plugins that display a list of related posts and couldn’t really find one I liked. A lot of them provided “results” that weren’t related, or even in the same ballpark, as the post they were being display on.

Luckily, I discovered Similar Posts by Rob Marsh.

Rob’s plugin is a little bit more technical than most (it even has an extensive help page) but the quality of its results can not be beat. I had to run a simple SQL query to get the plugin to work initially. That’s a pretty big barrier to entry for a lot of novice programmer types but if you can figure it out, or get help, Similar Posts is well worth the effort.
