Feedjit Recommended Reading Widget FAQ

What does Feedjit's Recommended Reading Widget do?

Feedjit's Recommended Reading Widget suggests other pages on your Blog or Website that may interest your readers. It does this using a sophisticated algorithm called Collaborative Filtering.

For example, a visitor to your blog may view one of your blog entries about coral reefs. Feedjit knows that 10 other visitors to your blog who liked this blog entry visited 2 other entries you wrote about coral reefs. So it suggests these 2 pages to your new visitor.

What else should I know?

Feedjit's Recommended Reading Widget works best on websites with more than 20 page views per day. If you have a very low traffic blog, we recommend our Page Popularity widget, available on our home page. If your website generates more than 20 page views per day, then simply install this widget and it will start learning about your blog or website and recommending pages to your visitors.

Why would I want this widget?

Visitors that arrive on your site from search engines and social media websites like Digg.com and Reddit.com often only view 1 page on your website and then leave. Feedjit's figures out which pages on your site are most interesting to your new visitor. It suggests those pages and, hopefully, keeps new visitors on your site and turns them into regulars.

How often is this widget's data updated?

Feedjit's Recommended Reading Widget starts updating as soon as you install it and is continuously updated as new visitors arrive on your website and provide it with more data.

What about performance?

Feedjit's Collaborative Filtering algorithm has been designed for speed. It performs extremely well, even on high traffic websites that have tens of thousands of pages.

Where can I find out more about Collaborative Filtering?

Wikipedia has an introduction to Collaborative Filtering or CF.
