Description

Add related posts and related images to your blog. You save time, increase your SEO, and become a member of our network of over 120,000 bloggers!

  • Related posts from your own blogs and the network. Related posts can have thumbnails too!
  • Increase your authority by linking to the most authoritative related posts (good for SEO).
  • Related Images added with a single click. Proper credits are added by default!
  • Link Love by linking to other bloggers’ related posts. In turn, we’ll recommend your posts to other bloggers. Then find out how much love (links, tweets, likes) your posts received via Sovrn Dashboard.

After Sovrn analyzes your post, a point and click interface allows you to insert related posts and related images. By not having to search for related posts, you will save time and be more efficient.

Share the Link Love

Link Love is easy with Sovrn. We recommend related posts from other bloggers, you decide which ones you want to link to. We then let them know that you gave them some love. And of course, other bloggers can and will do that for you as well!

I don't know what happened when Zemanta went away, but I no longer receive relevant lists or tags. Some of the suggested links are so far off, I wonder where they're getting their information! If an improvement doesn't happen soon, I'll have to find another plugin. Zemanta was one of my favorites; the new people have dropped to the bottom in a very short period of time.
