Recommended Post Slide out Widget for Blogger

You know those popup messages that slide out from the bottom right corner once you’ve almost reached the bottom of the page? Well, they used to be available only on WordPress but not anymore; now Blogger users can enjoy it too! The Recommended Post slide Out Widget is an invitation to the reader to read any other post once he has read one of your blog entries. It's both useful for you (can improve your Click Through Rate (CTR) ) and for your blog visitors too.

Demo
