Contextual advertising and links

Contextual advertising campaigns place banners and links on webpages that have a contextual relationship to the product or service being sold.

Good contextual links are directly related to the theme of an article.

Contextual links are commonly found embedded in articles on news sites, Wikipedia pages and on a large number of pages that have been optimized for search engines. They are used to reference additional information about a topic or a keyword phrase.

The web banner on the immediate left is a mock-up example of an advertisement placed in a specific context; In this case this very article. If say, this post was about diving masks, the advert could be for a brand of diving masks. Or if the subject matter was a about a location the ad could be from local dive operators. The banner shown on the left is a 160 x 600 pixels 'wide skyscraper' skyscraper.

Contextual links

A contextual link has a keyword focus in the link text and also links to a page about that topic. They are used to reference additional information about a topic or a keyword phrase. The word “contextual’ means that the word or phrase is dependent upon the content. When the link is part of the text in an article focused on a specific topic related to the theme of the receiving page, the link becomes a natural link.
