Bloggers favorite content recommendations plugin, nRelate is not going to exist anymore for next year and later. IAC, the parent company of nRelate has decided not to continue this engaging content recommendation plugin anymore.
nRelate was introduced back in 2009 to help webmasters and marketers get their customers and readers engaged on the content more time than usual with this plugin. Over 500 million users used it every month since then and hence it became successful.
“We have built a valuable service, but the time has come to shift how we use what we have built. With our support, nRelate’s parent company, IAC, has decided the best way forward for us is not to continue to compete in the marketplace, but instead focus our efforts within IAC’s reference-style content properties.” says Oliver in nRelate blog in their farewell message post.
