Here’s an easy SEO trick that you might not be familiar with. But you can use Google, or more specifically Google Blogsearch to find related posts that your visitors may find interesting. What’s nice about this technique, is that the pages are written by competing webmasters, who are likely to think of words you haven’t.

Here’s the basic idea.

1) Extract the keywords from your title
2) Query Google Blogsearch with the phrase. Grab the response in XML.
3) Parse the XML and add display the 10 related links.

Why does this work?

It offers ten related links on every content page you have. This means your page is probably very helpful to the end user because it presents her with many choices. Plus, the keywords from their titles are now added to your page, which is really good for your on-page optimization.

You can use Magpie RSS and PHP to do the job, if you know how. I can include some examples in future posts.

This technique is simple and super easy.
