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.

Moving to new site. Should I take old blog posts with me?
Our company website has needed a complete overhaul for some time now and the new one is almost ready to go live. We also have a separate "news" site that is houses around 800 blog posts and news items. (That news site will be thrown away because it's on a completely different domain and causes confusion.) So we have a main site with about 100 decent blog posts and a separate news site with 800 poor posts. I plan on bringing all the main site blog posts over to the new site (both WordPress), but my question is whether or not to bring over the news site posts? All, handful, none? Another issue is the news site doesn't have Google Analytics, so I'm not sure if any posts actually generate traffic, but I can from the main site we do get some referrals from it. As far as quality of content goes, it's poor. Not sure who wrote it all, but it's mainly text press releases that aren't very interesting. Is it worth bringing over for SEO purposes or simply delete the site and create a mass redirect so all of those pages will direct to the new website's blog page? Any help is greatly appreciated.

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.

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.

What are some on-pg recommendations for a flash resort site?
One of my clients want to be index for all their pages but I am afraid the website may have difficulty since it is all in flash. The website is a luxury brand for resorts. The website is me.graficode.com/preprod/ and currently has 6 main subfolers for resorts. Please let me know what recommendations will help me organically. It is hard to add content which will cause probelms for headers and keyword density.
