A week ago, I added LinkWithin to this blog, unfortunately, I had to remove it and add two alternatives, nRelate and Outbrain, because results from LinkWithin really not related at all.
Here is a quick diff to my template:

I am most satisfied by nRelates results, although I dont think its 100% related, but I would say 3 out of 4 posts are. Its really quite good. Outbrain is about 50% from what I see.
The loading speed of nRelate is a bit slow in my opinion, a couple of seconds until everything is loaded and rendered, but its okay with me. The customization of nRelate is the best, many options and several themes to choose. I dont really care about the reporting, not gonna read them.
If I can only put one one, I will keep nRelate. But since this is my blog and things only actually is loaded after clicking the buttons, no harm to put both of them on.
