Increase Page Views With LinkWithin

Increase Page Views With LinkWithin

Posted on 21. Oct, 2009 by Jeremiah Hoyet in Plugins, Wordpress

One technique a lot of bloggers use to increase page views is listing links to related content at the end of each blog post. Displaying related content increases the chances that visitors will feel compelled to read more; they just read an amazing blog post related to the same topic, why not read further, right?

The problem is that a lot of bloggers just install any old related post plugin and call it a day. This leaves that list of related content looking like some random block of text, which isn’t very appealing or attention grabbing. Leaving a list of boring links at the foot of each blog post doesn’t entice visitors, you need to add something to grab their attention and get them to click that link!

LinkWithin is a Wordpress Plugin that will help you spice up your related content links, and do it without you having to lift a finger (in terms of coding-work).

Easy-peasy Setup

Go figure — the designers of the plugin wanted to make it as easy as possible for you to get it running. Here’s the 5 step process, abridged:

  1. Visit LinkWithin.com and enter your information. Don’t worry about the email part, I haven’t been spammed by them (yet).
  2. Download the provided ZIP file.
  3. Upload the ZIP file from your WP Plugins Installation page. If you can’t find the page, please refer to Google.
  4. Activate the plugin (click the link).
  5. Sit back and watch the magic happen.

Give It Some Time

The plugin is amazing, but it does take some time to crawl the stories on your blog. So give it a few hours before you decide you hate it. Once LinkWithin has completed the crawl of your blog, you should start seeing some quality, attention grabbing links to related content at the foot of each one of your blog posts.

You should also remember that since there are literally thousands of different Wordpress Themes in existence, if it doesn’t display well on yours, you need to let the developers know!

Is there another way you can think of increasing page views?

    I would recommend you to add a plugin for Wordpress instead of using LinkWithin since you will get a extra backlink to their site in every post now.

    LinkWithin is a plugin for Wordpress. To be honest, I don’t mind sending them a backlink in return for this great plugin and their great support team! :]

    This sounds like a great plugin!
    I do have one installed, but if I have the time I’ll switch to this one.

    Nice plugin. However, with some simple coding, Yet Another Related Posts plugin can do this! And they will not ask for a link!

    You are quite right. I’m going to be switching to that format on my blog in the near future, whenever I have the time to sit down and get it looking just right with my theme. That said, I’ll probably be writing a tutorial/how-to of sorts, if you’d like to stop back by for that at a later time :]
