Context Links are a quick and convenient way to add links to your website and monetize your content. Context Links automatically identify and link relevant phrases within your page content to Amazon products, unlocking new ad inventory and saving you the time from having to manually create links. You can add the links to your pages in minutes, and we provide a wealth of options to customize how they are displayed.

They feel like Google’s AdSense in the way they spider your content and look for matching products to advertise, but are more customizable. For instance, I like the preview option that allows for a small product preview on mouseover a la IntelliTXT. In addition you can also customize:

• the number of links on each page
• which portion of the page will be linked
• which Amazon product categories are linked
• the matching of exact product names only
• if preview windows will appear when your site visitors hover over the links, and the style of those windows
• the options of single underline, dashed underline, and double underline link formats to indicate to your site visitors that they are Context Links

I’ll probably be experimenting with this a little bit on this site. For author and editors, here is another way to help promote sales at Amazon.com.
