Google Related Content

Google is experimenting with a related content box. “Powered by Google,” you get different tabs showing such things as related searches, news, or web pages. Scroll down a bit on this page to see the box live. I wonder if this box allows the webmaster to make money from clicks? It doesn’t seem so, as the results delivered are organic... so no one’s paying for the clicks.

Here’s the JavaScript code to run this – not sure if you need to sign up somewhere to make this “legal”:

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
<!--
  google_rc = new Object();
  google_rc[’width’] = 468;
  google_rc[’height’] = 60;
  google_rc[’modules’] = [’news’,’searches’,’pages’];
  google_rc[’color_line’] = ’336699’;
  google_rc[’color_link’] = ’0000ee’;
  google_rc[’color_bg’] = ’ffffff’;
  google_rc[’color_text’] = ’000000’;
  google_rc[’color_source’] = ’6f6f6f’;
  google_rc[’color_header’] = ’c6ddf4’;
  google_rc[’color_footer’] = ’eeeeee’;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="http://www.googlesyndication.com/relcontent/show_rc.js"></script>
