The Content.ad widget is a content recommendation tool that can run on any website. It automatically analyses each piece of content on your site and then displays links to specific content in the widget.
Category: Getting Started
How does Content.ad improve visitor engagement?
The Content.ad widget uses a proprietary algorithm that analyses the performance of each page of content on your site. It creates an engagement metric based on a number of proprietary engagement measures. In addition, Content.ad “learns” how each piece of your content is likely to appeal to individual readers and uses this to predict what they will like.
Does it cost anything to use?
No, the Content.ad widget is completely free to use.
Will it work on any site?
Yes, Content.ad is designed to operate on any content site. WordPress users also have the option of installing a plug-in which will integrate the placement and set-up options into your WordPress Admin.
How quickly does it start working?
The Content.ad Widget will start to work immediately; however, part of the optimization process involves learning which of your content performs the best. A certain number of impressions must be served before the widget is able to fully optimize and display the most effective content.
Can I setup more than one Content.ad widget for my site?
Yes. You may want to test the location and/or layout of the widget on your pages to see which produces the best results for you. For example you may want to test how the widget performs below your content. vs. to the side of your content. In this case you will create two widgets and name then separately. Then you can track the performance of each separately in your reporting dashboard.

Will the widget slow down my site?
No. The content.ad widget is designed to load “asynchronously”. This means your page will load independently of the widget script.
Will new content from my site get added automatically to the widget?
Yes. As long as our widget is installed on that page, any new story you add to your site will automatically be indexed and become available to be served through the widget.
