I noticed that WordPress added a feature whereby “Possibly Related Links” are automatically added to the bottom of my posts. My first reaction was that I did not want these links, especially since the first post to have them was my post about The King of Kong, which is about video game competitions. The “Possibly Related Links” showed links to King Kong, quite a different movie.

I found how to turn off the links (under Design and Extras). Turning off this option comes with the following language: “Hide related links on this blog, which means this blog won’t show up on other’s blogs or get traffic that way.” Because the links were so off, I was not too concerned about shutting off the feature.

But I’ve been thinking about it and decided that I’m going to turn the feature back on, at least for a while to test it. I want to see what kind of links get generated and see if it actually does have an effect on my traffic.
