Retail products, matched to the content
Ezoic reads each article, understands what it's about, and places retail product recommendations that genuinely fit — earning affiliate commissions with zero extra work.
Content in, commissions out
Ezoic is a platform that helps website owners earn from their content. Affiliate widgets are the newest way — here's the whole idea in three steps.
We read the page
Our system reads the article the way a person would — a recipe, a how-to, a guide — and understands the topic, not just keywords.
We pick real products
Contextual matching selects retail products that actually belong on the page: a saucepan and whisk on a cheese-sauce recipe, baking sheets on a cookie guide.
You earn on every purchase
Each widget links to the retailer with an affiliate tag. When readers buy, you earn a commission — the required disclosures are included automatically.
See the widgets in action
These are real widgets on real publisher pages — not mockups. Every screenshot below links to the live page so you can see it for yourself.
Paula Deen's peach cobbler, with the kit to make it
On PaulaDeen.com, a Southern peach cobbler recipe gets "Shop the kit" widgets in the article and the sidebar: Maldon sea salt, a Microplane zester, bread flour, a Pyrex baking set — the exact kind of kitchen staples the recipe calls for, each linking straight to the retailer.
- Widgets sit naturally in the page, styled to match the site
- The required affiliate disclosure appears right with the products
- Works in content and sidebar placements alike
The exact tools the recipe calls for
On this Welsh rarebit recipe, the article mentions a saucepan, a whisk, and toasted bread — so the widget offers exactly that: a tri-ply saucepan, a stainless whisk, baking sheets, and wooden utensils. Matched from the article text, not from tracking the visitor.
- Products drawn from what the article actually says
- Affiliate links with disclosure built in
- No cookies or visitor profiling — it's about the content
A storefront inside the article
A fried-egg technique article gets a grid of cast-iron skillets, a carbon-steel wok, and cookware sets — products a reader mid-recipe is genuinely shopping for. The widget looks native to the site and sits where it helps, not where it interrupts.
- Card grids styled to blend with the publisher's design
- Placed inside the content at natural break points
- Every product links straight to the retailer
The same engine powers travel and more
Retail widgets focus on cooking and kitchen products today. The same contextual matching also serves hotels, cabins, and tours from travel partners — this Gatlinburg guide gets "Where to stay" cards and bookable "Things to do," all matched to the destination in the article.
- Hotels and vacation rentals matched to the place being written about
- Tours and activities with live booking links
- One integration, every content vertical
Affiliate revenue without the busywork
Zero setup
Already on Ezoic? There's nothing to install and no links to build. Widgets appear automatically on pages where a good match exists.
Compliant by default
Affiliate disclosures, sponsored link attributes, and tagging are handled for you on every widget.
Revenue on top of ads
Affiliate commissions stack with display ad earnings — the widgets are placed to complement the ads, not compete with them.
