A new report on recommendations on news sites shows what Contextly has saying for years - good related links get readers to read more. niemanlab.org/2018/09/just-b… I would add very simply that these related links do best when right at the end of the post. Death to the author bio!

We made it free. Well, Channels that is. Sites that use Contextly to get readers reading more can now let readers follow the topics they care about and get notified of new posts, w/o any extra editorial work. A new, direct distribution channel, ftw. blog.contextly.com/2020/11/contex…

Net neutrality helps startups like Contextly, and it's a shame to end it. A piece from me in @wired wired.com/story/expect-f… RS
