ZEMANTA RELATED POSTS COMING TO TYPEPAD

During the Thanksgiving week, Typepad bloggers will notice a new addition to Zemanta recommendations: Related Posts. To commemorate this great day, use them to give credit to fellow bloggers as a thank you to all who put immense work into writing about topics that interest you.

Earlier this year, we announced a partnership with the Typepad blogging platform. We gave Typepad bloggers a handy feature called Recommended Links. Recommended Links show up to Typepad bloggers beneath the editor window while they write, bringing back links to their own posts as well as links to external authoritative sources.

Recommended Links allows bloggers to add links to their text with a click of a button. They are really easy to use and the benefits of adding links to your posts, Wikipedia, Google maps and other great resources are numerous. Readers get triggers to research topics mentioned in the post, search engines have more respect for posts with such links and authors can focus on writing instead of dealing with manual linking.

Thanksgiving addition – Related Posts

During the Thanksgiving week, Zemanta on Typepad will get a new feature called Related Posts. Related Posts are awesome. They show up below related links and are contextually related to the text you are currently working on. The posts come from your blog, from a vast network of bloggers and from other content sources.

This is how it all looks like:

The benefits of using Related Posts

You can add Related Posts to the bottom of your text with a click of a button to give your post more depth and provide clues to readers on where to get further opinions and information on the subject.

Other benefits of using related posts are again numerous. First and foremost your post gains on credibility but there is another hidden value: bloggers that you link out to will notice you. You will get attention from writers who are interested in the same topics as you. This often leads to more comments, reactions and backlinks but most of all to new important acquaintances.

It is the essence of what we call Link Love:

We hope Related Posts on TypePad will help your blog grow and your network expand.
