Testing Amazon Context Links

Amazon just released a beta of Context Links. It is a way to “automatically identify and link relevant phrases within your page content to Amazon products.” You will see them sometimes on this site as green links with a double underline. They may not always be relevant, but it’s better than those annoying links that show up randomly on other sites associated with common words. Here it should only show up when I say something like Apple 80 GB iPod video. Or Steve Wozniak. Though I’m not yet sure how soon it takes to find the words to link.

I figure that this is a way for me to make a little money off of the site, but without using something like Google’s AdSense. You get relevant product links automatically inserted in my posts when the page has finished loading.
