I can’t remeber when google released Related links to the public but I remeber the buzz in the forum saying “It doesn’t pay”..

From google:
Google Related Links use the power of Google to automatically bring fresh, dynamic and interesting content links to any website. Webmasters can place these units on their site to provide visitors with links to useful information related to the site’s content, including relevant videos, news, searches, and pages
