Like if you have some post1 will labels News, Humor and America, another post2 will show that post in related posts at the end of the post footer followed by these labels respectivevly.As we know Google highly ranks the websites/blogs with low bounce rate and the method is considered highly effective for SEO. For Eg. if your visitors visits one of your page and leaves the blog instantly you bounce rate will be 100% for that page Bounce Rate = Single Page Access/ Entries.
An entrance webpage with a low bounce rate means that the page effectively causes visitors to view more pages and continue on deeper into the blog increasing your pageviews hence possibly increase in the Alexa rankings. This is engaging for visitors and the best part is the associated posts are showed agreeing to the deafult layout and css styles that have already been predefined even for a custom blogger template.
Though the list of related links goes on to 24 at max( if available ) can be a bit irritating as your comment box seems to hide, but this problem can also be solved using Feedflare of Feedburner that adds a link after the post named "add comment". When user clicks on this link he is directed to the comment form box. Also this is good technique if you invariably use lot of lables for any post.
