i was sometimes disappointed after buying a premium extension. This one is different and well worth the expense. Install, set the parameter and done. Very easy and reliable. I had few questions and the team answered competent in no time. I use it for a newspaper site with hundreds of articles, if you run a site with lots of articles - this is the thing you need

Following are the several benefits that JV-Relatives provides to your website visitors and Search Engine Optimization:
- Primary benefit of JV-Relatives is to retain the reader of the article for more time in the website, by giving him the option to read more related articles
- As the articles are related using keywords, the relevancy increases and hence the probability of the user continuing to read more articles increases. This ensures that more of your website articles are read by users
- JV-Relatives displays the related articles or posts in random order or a preset order. This ensures that articles of your website that are not read frequently have more chance to be read, as they are displayed in the related articles section
- JV-Relatives is NOT a component or a module, but a plugin/mambot. This does not use any database and is light weighted.
- JV-Relatives plugin is highly configurable at backend as well.
In October 2008 I bought JV-Relatives and since then I am thrilled by this product. The setup ist very easy, there are many features and it works absolutely perfect. I highly recommend this plugin.

I bought JV-relatives (and also JV-contentlinks) for our sites and since then, we've had great results in search engine ranking and our bounce rate has gone donw. Why? Because these two components makes it visibly very easy for the users to read other parts of the site. When you're reading one article, JV-relatives shows the users, like, 10 other exciting articles and many people do read on.
This makes your users happier, Google-bot sees your bouncerate is going down and thus gives you better rankings because you have proved to Google, that your site has great content (if not, the bouncerater would be higher)!
