Hi,
I use blogger for my blog posts. I am looking for a "Related Posts" wizard. There are several java-based available on the net, but the problem is that the listing of hyperlinks these wizards prepare, these hyperlinks are not visible to Search Engines (Like I tried using the LYNX browser, but could see only the Javascript - not the actual hyperlinks).

Any one aware of a good Related Post wizard suitable for Blogger Platform, which is also compatible with search engines to get the real Google SE Juice?

Thanks,
INT

A quick Google search brought up loads of results. You'll need to try these out for yourself and see which one helps out the most.

http://www.bloggingtips.com/2008/09/08/5-related-posts-techniques-for-blogger-blogs/

has a paragraph on adding this functionality without the use of external JavaScript files.

EDIT: Changed after being corrected by @bloggerwidgets

@Sparx, no it is not free from javascript.. it doesnt use any external js file.. that's it..

as of now there are no methods to display them without javascript(as to my knowledge)
because all of these blogger widgets are based on manipulating blogger feeds..

@bloggerwidgets If there were plugins for Blogger similar to the various Caching plugins for WordPress, they'd display a static HTML page thus solving the issue wouldn't they?

@Sparx blogger lacks programming flexibility.. we can use php to code wordpress plugins.. the only way to program for a google gadget is to use javascript.. but javascript is not search engine friendly..
Blogger has now released the Gadget API.. In this API all gadgets are configurable iframes..

I have finally made my first gadget using the new gadget API..
A recent Posts Widget With Media Thumbnail,comment count and much more..
if you like you can check it out at my blog @ http://www.bloggerplugins.org/2009/07/recent-posts-widget-blogger-thumnail.html

or you can find it in the blogger gadget directory.. just do a search there for blogger widgets.. ;)
