Google Stops “Related Links” Service from Google Blogoscoped reports that Google has stopped their Related Links product without telling anyone.
Google told Philipp Lenssen that they shut down Related Links on April 30th. They said they decided to pull out the most “compelling functionalities of Related Links and integrated them into new and improved products, like the AJAX Search API and AdSense Link Units.” So those of you who have implemented Related Links on your sites, like I did over here, now need to remove them from their pages.

I am finding less and less value in Google’s products for Webmasters, and discontinuing services without warning doesn’t help matters in the least.
Thanks for the heads up.
