Free related posts recommendation solution?
-
I was preparing to use Diqus plugin to show related posts, but our site has already used another comment solution which is developed ourselves, and I don't think it's a good idea to replace all the comments of the entire site.
So is there another free service to show visitors related posts? We are not a WP site, so I can only accepts HTML&JS codes, not WP plugins, etc.
And I also don't want it contain external links even if I can benefit from them, because we are in a pretty specific niche, the recommendations to posts on other sites may take our orders away.
Thanks

They do say to contact them if you're looking for one of the other systems, Jonny. Might well be worth an email to see if you could try out a beta version of the JS. (if you're into messing with beta stuff)
Glad you found it helpful

Nice complement Paul, I checked the NRelate it's nice, I'll keep tracking this plugin until they offer an universal JS version.

In addition to Zemanta that Tom mentions, NRelate also has an excellent Related Post plugin.
Unfortunately, at this point it looks like they're both focusing on plugins for CMSs, Tumblr etc. (Both do offer the ability to configure purely for related posts within your own site, so eliminating the dreaded outbound link issue.)
However! I do note that nRelate is talking about a number of new methods in beta, including mention of a JavaScript version:
We are rolling out onto other popular CMS’s such as Drupal, Tumblr, TypePad, and also have a JavaScript version available as well. If you are on a different platform or a custom site, contact us and let’s see if we can get you up and running!
I've configured nRelate for a couple of WordPress clients and it's excellent. Would be worth getting in touch with them to see if they can set you up. (Link is at the bottom of the page linked above)
Let us know if you have any luck!

Hi Jonny
The only I can think of is Zemanta, which I believe can run on a number of platforms. Here's the About page and Wiki page.
However, I'm not sure you'd be able to find a recommend post plugin/module without outbound links - as that sort of defeats the purpose.

Looking for a new Web Developer and Graphic Designer - Where to look? Job Description in Post
Hi All, I know I can go to Guru.com, etc. but is there a place here that I can look for a web dev that can help with my tasks? I have a good bit of work to offer them and my current web dev who has been a great asset has suffered from health problems and it has affected his output, so I'm sad to say I need to look for someone that can help me get caught back up. If anyone has any suggestions on someone that is a knowledgeable web developer that has access to their own graphic designer (or can do graphic design themselves as well) please let me know. I am not opposed at all to hire a separate graphic designer to send work over to the web developer. SOMEONE WITH SEO EXPERIENCE WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL AS WELL AS MY CURRENT WEB DEVELOPER HAD IT AS WELL. The current projects going on are: Changing the header graphics on the home page to meet compliance. Constantly adding and editing my websites with small tweaks almost daily. Creating PDF's with content we give and uploading them as well as images to the sites. Keeping in mind that editing the site can affect responsiveness and we have to make sure our logo is a certain size compared to other metrics, etc. Creating web banners, tile ads, etc. Creating facebook main photo for biz page. I will be happy to share any info via PM or if anyone can point me in the right direction in finding someone that would be awesome! Thanks!

Relative or Absolute???
https://moz.com/learn/seo/internal-link
Web Design | | Mike.Bean
https://moz.com/blog/relative-vs-absolute-urls-whiteboard-friday I have read both articles above, however further reading the comments that followed, it appears that neither provided an answer. Some said Absolute and some were determined that Relative linking is the only way to go. There were heated comments, apologetic comments and mostly comments agreeing to disagree. But in the end I think what I got out of it was there are two sides to developing a site. Side A: Web Developer Standpoint, Relative (easier) Side B: SEO Standpoint, Absolute (harder) To me Side B puts money in the bank, so I will go with B. Now since we’ve been dealt the recent https algo, there seem to more opinions that are thrown into the question. All I’m asking for is a straight answer so our employees can feel confident that our efforts are not in loss. I also want to ask about how images should be linked internally. NOTE: Our sites are not all https but have SSL’s in place, and 301 redirects reflect http versions of pages. So since it appears Absolute linking is the preferred method, I ask which is the best option or an option at all. Internal Navigation: Current internal link - /store/pc/Rollators-c379.htm Absolute Options http://www.company.com/store/pc/Rollators-c379.htm (what I see for most Absolute links)
www.company.com/store/pc/Rollators-c379.htm (would this work for both http and https?)
//www.company.com/store/pc/Rollators-c379.htm (would this work for both http and https?) All three links above resolve to www.company.com/store/pc/Rollators-c379.htm with no http:// in front. If I type https://www.company.com/store/pc/Rollators-c379.htm in the url it resolves to https://www.company.com/store/pc/Rollators-c379.htm with the https:// in front. Internal Images: If I want my images to be indexed as well as pages should I be using Absolute links for them as well? Current internal image link - /store/pc/images/rollators.jpg Absolute Options http://www.company.com/store/pc/images/rollators.jpg (what I see for most Absolute links)
www.company.com/store/pc/images/rollators.jpg (would this work for both http and https?)
//www.company.com/store/pc/images/rollators.jpg (would this work for both http and https?) Just once I would like an answer that’s not:
It depends on the site or it doesn’t matter which method you use, they both work lol. I would like one that says google likes this better. Thanks for taking the time to help us understand and can’t wait for MOZ Con this September.0 -

Is there a Joomla! Component For A Blog Page That Is Recommended?
A business partner currently has a page on a Joomla! website that is passing for the blog page. I am not a Joomla! guy so I dont' know much about it. I do know that I don't like a lot of things and prefer Drupal however making a change to Drupal on that site is not an option. We need to upgrade the blog page so that it is more like a blog and I know there has to be an SEO friendly component for a Joomla! blog page. Any ideas?

What structured data would you recommend marking up for a companies 'service'?
Hi, I'm finally starting to use structured data in my clients sites now that Google has embraced it so much. I have a client that is a cosmetic physician and has associated services. I thought it would be beneficial to markup each service according to http://schema.org/Service I'll be doing a similar thing with a new local surveyors website too. I'm just wondering if it is worth doing and what Schema properties would you recommend using. For the cosmetic physician I'm thinking of: description

Post vs Pages
Does Google make any distinction between a web page and a blog post? Assuming all else is equal...any reason why a page would rank higher than a post? And that includes a page in WordPress vs a WordPress blog post.

Entering different but related industry, keep it on the same domain or new domain?
We rank well across many online furniture keywords within google.ie here in Ireland, this is our core business and it is successful. Now we want to branch out into the related field of "kitchens". So the question is do we setup a new domain (a sister site) or keep it on the same domain with a new sub category. So the main categories off the home page would be: Sofas Bedroom Furniture Dining Furniture Kitchens I know all the benefits of keeping to the one domain (the domain has age, and already has DA of 30 with many landing pages with PA from 30 to 49), so for the short term SEO angle keep it on the same domain. But from a Branding perspective this is not a great approach. Is it better to have a dedicated domain/site for kitchens (and the bonus of having a keyword match in the domain)? We are always thinking longer term so we see this as a 3 year plan outwards rather than a get rich quick. There is an additional overhead of course with managment of the domain, templates SSL, PCI etc etc and we are conscious that a new domain is not a easy route to success. Looking at the top 10 for the main keywords within the "kitchen" keyword cloud most if not all are dedicated kitchen sites, or kitchens are the main business so their homepage is there kitchens landing page. The competition in the google.ie space have 20-30 DA and PAs roughly 30 being the highest DA, we are thinking that this has not a huge challenge to overcome? Thanks for any help, assistance or comments really appreciated. Ware regards, Eunan @ Love Furniture
