Would it be possible to change the Similar Articles functionality so that it shows articles based on the tags they have in common.
Right now, when there are articles that have a tag in common, they will appear in the Similar Articles section. It doesn’t matter how many tags they have in common, whether it’s 1 or 5 tags.
Suggestion: It would be more appropriate if articles showed based on how many tags the articles have in common. 2 articles with 5 tags in common are more similar than 2 articles with just 1 tag in common.
I hope this makes sense. If you need a better explanation, let me know and I will give it another try.
Hi,
Thanks for this suggestion we already have this on out issue tracker list and we will try to add a better implementation for this, unfortunately I can’t give you on ETA for this as we work hard on the development, updates, fixes and support.
Thanks
Glad to see this issue will be addressed at some point.
Keep up the good work Lucian & the rest of the team.
I really would like to be able to chose witch articles display there, because this influences my adsence earning so I want to put high CPC articles there. Thanks in advance!

Note you can manually link to any of your high CPC articles, simply by putting the photo from your media gallery, flush left, with the headline to the story next to it; at bottom of any post. We do this to highlight a special story related to the current one which we want people to go to next before anything else. Try it, might work for you 🙂
We use a subhead like “recommended for you.”
thanks! Christopher Simmons how do you align them side by site in article?

On several of our news site, we actually use a plugin:
Contextual Related Posts
https://wordpress.org/plugins/contextual-related-posts/
addon
https://wordpress.org/plugins/crp-taxonomy/
We’ve been using this for couple of years (longer?). Continues to work well for us.
