It helps visitors to reach more posts on your blog and hence it helps you to multiply your traffic. Related posts widget plays a role of internal linker as it link one post with other so it has a great impact on your traffic as well as seo. Because internal linking is a part of off-page seo. As this gadget is so important for blogger therefore some websites are also formed which provides related posts plugin for your blog but if a website's plugin is used then it may slow down your blog which is not good.
