Related Posts Widget for Blogger. I have seen many users were upset after installing the
Related Posts Widget in Blogger.
Most of the Related Posts Widget makes the load time of the blogs
lengthier, So despite of increasing the page views the reader gets

views. Even if you are using a cheap high speed internet also you wont
get any benefit because the script for
loading the Related Posts is the culprit, it takes time to load especially if you are having a lot of
related articles. So here is a
Related Posts Widget for Blogger which loads pretty Faster (won’t slow down your blog loading) which i also uses in my own blog ………
