To that end, I&#8217;ve started an experiment with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kontera.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" >Kontera<\/a>, a contextual link advertising system. The way it works is that it &#8220;reads&#8221; what I&#8217;ve written and selects particular words\/phrases that it finds interesting and highlights them as a link.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nWhen a reader mouses over the link, a little window appears with more information about that word\/phrase that might provide the reader with interesting information and may cause the reader to click the box to fetch that information. I don&#8217;t know how well it will work and I don&#8217;t know how annoying it will be, but it&#8217;s worth a try.
