Don’t Use the AddThis Social Sharing Toolbar. It’s Bad for SEO!

AddThis is a social media sharing toolbar that many websites use to let their visitors share information with social space. It’s small, easy to install & even has it’s own analytics feature. So why do I have a problem with it?

Setup nRelate related posts widget in Blogger –LinkWithin alternative

As you all know internal linking is more beneficial for the purpose of SEO, for you and your users. Adding related posts below your blog posts helps your site visitors as well as it helps in increasing your sites page views. So we made an article on adding related posts widget using LinkWithin. Recently we found out that LinkWithin site is down for maintenance. So here we will see how to setup nRelate related posts widget in Blogger.

nRelate related post is better than LinkWithin

Other than maintenance we found out more issues with LinkWithin and yes!nRelate related posts is best. First of all LinkWithin is not good for your SEO, we noticed that LinkWithin related posts are redirecting your site traffic to their site and directing back to your pages. You are passing your PageRank and link juice to LinkWithin from all your pages. Also there are few who mentioned that LinkWithin is showing unrelated posts. That’s why you need to switch to nRelate related posts widget where you can get more features than LinkWithin. So if you are using LinkWithin, better remove it and install nRelate related posts widget in your Blogger blog.
