I'm looking for a third-party provider that offers a Related Posts plugin. The idea is to automatically add related posts to my article pages, which is about 200+ pages.

Manually linking related articles can be tedious and often inconsistent. I wanted a solution that could intelligently and accurately connect similar articles without requiring extra work each time I publish something new.

I've been using the free version of Shareaholic for the past years as they have this feature called "Related Content" that works well, until the past few months, they're Related Content feature is no longer working and it is taking them several months to fix.

I'm not using PHP or Wordpress, but I'm purely using HTML static site (I do use server includes .shtml for things like navigation bar, footer, etc.). Do you know of any third party providers that provide Related Content feature as a service like Shareaholic, where I just insert a javascript plugin?

If it means a lot to you, hire a freelancer for a custom script by posting a job on Upwork.

@killua, this functionality requires databases, or at least a taxonomy (tagging system) for your content making it possible to describe or classify categories, and then relate them.

In this context (as you describe, pure html), it's as kendo says, you will need to hire someone to code this for you.

They offer a 'Related Posts' feature via a JavaScript plugin that works with static HTML sites. It's simple to set up just drop their code snippet on your page. Another option might be Contextly, which is also designed for related content recommendations, though I’d double-check if they support static sites.

@JonyDep, you mentioned "They offer a 'Related Posts' feature via a JavaScript plugin that works with static HTML sites. It's simple to set up just drop their code snippet on your page." Can you tell what provider you are referring to?
