Plus, the more that you allow the Recommended Content widget free access to your posts, the better Grow learns your website and its audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grow uses AI and machine learning to recommend content that readers will engage with, and with more data to work with, will do that better and better over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So while the option to exclude specific posts is great to have available, remember what Recommended Content is and why it&#8217;s there. Also remember that we&#8217;re already automatically excluding things like your Privacy Policy or About page. So unless the post in question is just dumb and you have no desire for anyone to ever see it, you&#8217;re only hurting yourself by excluding it.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/grow.me-recommended-content-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"screenshot of the grow.me's recommended content widget.\" class=\"wp-image-28714\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/grow.me-recommended-content-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/grow.me-recommended-content-213x320.jpg 213w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/grow.me-recommended-content-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/grow.me-recommended-content-375x563.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/grow.me-recommended-content-247x370.jpg 247w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/grow.me-recommended-content-153x229.jpg 153w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/grow.me-recommended-content-125x187.jpg 125w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/grow.me-recommended-content-223x335.jpg 223w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/grow.me-recommended-content-231x347.jpg 231w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/grow.me-recommended-content-347x520.jpg 347w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/grow.me-recommended-content-427x640.jpg 427w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/grow.me-recommended-content-512x768.jpg 512w, https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/grow.me-recommended-content.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption>Grow Recommended Content in-content and carousel on mobile<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-is-my-recommended-content-sometimes-unrelated\">Why is My Recommended Content Sometimes Unrelated?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a frequently asked question. Are you wondering why a specific post is being recommended, even though it&#8217;s seemingly unrelated to the page you&#8217;re on?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is because Mediavine&#8217;s Grow Recommended Content widget recommends material that your <strong>users<\/strong> are likely to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Related content engines across the web and other media are using different criteria to suggest options based on the <strong>content<\/strong> being consumed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to read our in-depth explanation about the difference between the two and why <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediavine.com\/recommended-vs-related-content\/\">Recommended Content and Related Content aren&#8217;t the same<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-you-include-a-post-that-you-previously-excluded\">Can You Include a Post That You Previously Excluded?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you change your mind and decide that you actually do want that old post to show? No problem! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll also find an &#8220;Include&#8221; button in the search bar where the &#8220;Exclude&#8221; button once was after a particular post is excluded. Click on that and you&#8217;re good to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That post will immediately be eligible for the Recommended Content widget again as soon as you include it. If you don&#8217;t see it right away, don&#8217;t worry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The robots may still be showing it to your users, boosting that CTR a little at a time.
