Hi Allen, thanks for the kind words. You may be right that pushing the monetization angle could possibly help with adoption, especially considering that all Amazon links within the pane can be easily linked to an Amazon Affiliate ID. And the SmartLinks script will insert SmartLinks for archived posts, helping to monetize older content as well as new.

We had a good number of users in the beta period who were interested in the monetization angle. There were even more, however, who found the benefit of the SmartLinks content even greater. The nice thing is that SmartLinks can offer bloggers both benefit and monetization.

Came to this post through NextNY. Nice tool. I think that something like this would be valuable if it were customizable. Something like a rich(?) tooltip, enabling an author to elaborate on something without using up too much space in their post. (Posting a photo, bio, or suggested links.)

Hopefully I’m adding to the conversation here, not just throwing out off the mark comments.

peace!
