In april vorig jaar Google Labs lanceerde de service Related Links.
“If you used this widget, a box like the following was inserted into your page, containing context-relevant links (though the webmaster, or Google, didn’t get paid in any way)”:
Google is nu stilletjes gestopt met dit programma. Pagina’s waarop de gadget te zien was krijgen nu een eenvoudige Google search box die gebruikers doorstuurt naar Google.com.
Een reactie van Google:
As of April 30, 2007, we ceased providing the related links service. Related Links was one of many Google Labs products that we had developed experimentally as part of our commitment to ongoing innovation.
Through our evaluation of the Labs product, we identified the most compelling functionalities of Related Links and integrated them into new and improved products, like the AJAX Search API and AdSense Link Units. Current customers can now use these alternative products, which offer even more flexibility and are even more powerful at helping publishers make useful information accessible to their users.
