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.

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 -

Yoast focus keywords for portfolio post types in WordPress
This one is for the WordPress optimization crowd! Portfolios are used to display work. I have a question about best seo optimization techniques. 1. Portfolios can be used to display many different types of work, for me it either original web designs from scratch, WordPress redesigns, or importing a current website into WordPress. What is the best practice for keywords for multiple portfolios that are in one category. for instance WordPress Redesign. If I have 5 WordPress redesign portfolio posts is it good practice to use WordPress redesign for all 5 portfolios or should they use variations? Yoast gets angry when the same focus keyword is used multiple times. 2. Should portfolios even be indexed? Since this is how I attract new customers I would think yes but am I giving too much exposure to my client and not enough to my business. I guess this will depend on titles and meta descriptions. A discussion on best practices here is what I am really looking for. What is your advice and opinion on the matter.

Facebook is now only allowing owners of FB pages (not admins) to create keys for a WP blog post syndication. Is there a way around this?
I hired a contractor to configure a WP plugin to syndicate FB, G+, Twitter and standard WP posts. He is using NextScripts: Social Networks Auto-Poster. He came back to me saying that FB is now only allowing direct owners (not admins) of FB pages to create keys. This means I have to give my client's personal FB access to a third party contractor. I'm not comfortable asking my client to do this. Does anybody know of a way around this? Is there a way to create a FB key with just admin access? Thanks

I am looking to build an informational site that consists of a few landing pages. What kind of platform would you recommend?
The site would consist of an initial homepage, about us page, products & services page, sub-category pages that consist of the products and services in greater detail, and a contact us page. What platform would you recommend building this site on? I currently use Miva Merchant for an ecommerce platform, however this new site will not require the customization that Miva provides, and will also not need to have ecommerce capabilities. This will strictly be an informational site for prospective and current clients.

Recommended Website Monitoring Tools
Hi, I was wondering what people would recommend for website monitoring (IE is my website working as it should!). I need something that will:
Web Design | | James77
1/. Allow multiple page monitoring not just homepage
2/. Do header status checking
3/. Do page content checking (ie if the page changes massively, or include the word "error") then we have an issue!
4/. Multiple alert possibilities. We currently use www.websitepulse.com and it is a good service that does all the above, however it just seems so overly complex that its hard to understand what is going on, and its complex functionality and features are really a negative in our case. Thanks0
