Amazon has launched Context Links Beta program. The idea is that you insert a little Amazon script into your pages and when the page is open in a browser the script identifies words and phrases it thinks are relevant and makes them links to whatever Amazon products.
I enabled the script on my blog's frontpage (pinky double underlined links) to see how relevant it is and here are the results:
- "Visual Studio" - Microsoft Visual Studio Standard 2005
- "DocumentSource" - Programming Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 Core Reference
- "Google AdSense" - The Adsense Code: What Google Never Told You about Making Money with Adsense
- "WHATWG" - Designing with Web Standards (2nd Edition) by Jeffrey Zeldman
- "Community Technology Preview" - Computer Resources for People with Disabilities: A Guide to Assistive Technologies, Tools and Resources f…
- "Google Apps" - "Google Maps Hacks" by Rich Gibson
- "Leumi" - Terror Out of Zion: Irgun Zvai Leumi, Lehi and the Palestine Underground, 1929-1949 by J. Bowyer Bell
- "Google Reader" - Google for Dummies by Brad Hill
- "Fuck Windows" - "Death is a Window by E.C. Blount
- "DreamHost Web" - Internet and World Wide Web Simplified, 3rd Edition by Ruth Maran
- "The Pragmatic Programmer's" - Der Pragmatische Programmierer. by Andrew Hunt
Well, sure there are lots of opportunities for improving relevance, but still not bad at all for beta
The redirect for "Fuck Windows" is really relevant :)
