Getting to Your Configuration Options

Configuration Options
The Related Content Settings window has five categories of configuration:
| Layout |
Contains configuration settings for the overall appearance of the app. In this section you can customize the headline, thumbnail style and number of posts. A preview is also available. |
| Content Pool |
The Content Pool refers to the list of content that are candidates for selection. It is easy to omit specific authors, categories, tags, pages and URL patterns. You can even restrict by the publish date. |
| Algorithm |
This is where you customize the Content Match Algorithm and can control exactly what and how much content metadata is used to compute the match score. There are quite a few possible setting combinations for you to tweak to make the matched results the most relevant for your site visitors! |
| Monetization |
In this section you can configure the amount of Promoted Content and banner ads to include in the Related Content app. |
| Code |
This is where you will find the In-Page HTML (or PHP) code to place on your website. |
