This is a very good plugin, works perfect for me.
I have had problems with the item id’s generated by the related articles plugin.
But installing the patch developed by ajushi in
http://pastebin.com/f1244b43e it works perfect.

Problem is that Google (and other search engines I'd assume) when using this plugin with SEO urls will get duplicate content as the links generated are simply the article id not the SEO URL. So Google complains I have duplicate content because the article is at /cat/123-my-article.html and this plugin generates the link /cat/123.html which resolves fine but appears to be a duplicate with Google.
It is a really useful component.
Easy to customization and installation.
Thanks!

This is a very good plugin and does what (according to my knowledge) no other plugin does. It lists related articles at the end of the articles. Simple, clean and easy to style.
What I noticed though is that the random function is not random at ALL. It always displays the same articles. I've been using the plugin for months now and it's still showing same old articles.
A bit shame for such a overall good plugin.

Thanks for your review Mariku.
I made a new version (1.3) of the plugin that fixes this bug.

I have found this plugin to be very useful. One thing that I have noticed it does is list and article regardless of whether or not is actually published. It will even list and article that is archived.
Other than the issue mentioned above, I feel this plugin is very helpful. It was easy to install, configure, and implement.

Hi alledvoa and thanks you for your review.
The plugin don't show archived or unpublished articles. Also it shows only public article.
Redgards, SnoT.
Great idea, does just what it says, one problem for me personally is i don't like how it's a list at the bottom that sucks up more space than nessessary, but I'm picky in that sense, and would like it if there was some kind of module that came with it to display it, so that you could put it were you wanted to, and it would be nice if there was more than one colum, but besides this, great job and thanks for sharing! Cheers Josh Lewis.
I installed and with q SEO-Generator just does what I wanted to do a long time ago. Thx for this! 5 star.
