What is Travelpayouts Emerald?
Emerald is an AI-powered script that monetizes your travel content in just a few clicks. Acting as a smart virtual assistant, it carefully analyzes your blog and automatically adds the best-fit affiliate tools where they are most likely to generate profit. As a result, it gives you the best chance for the highest income while freeing up time for you to enjoy traveling, discovering, and creating.
Unique tools to increase
conversion rate
Knowing that the majority of your blog's readers use mobile devices more often than desktops, Emerald's tools ensure top performance on both mobile and desktop platforms for a seamless, native user experience.
Tooltips
Tooltips are in-text previews of travel services promoted through affiliate links. They appear each time a user hovers over an affiliate link and provide quick details such as a brief tour description. These in-text previews help readers make decisions without leaving the page, which, in turn, helps bloggers retain traffic and boost conversion.
Recommendation blocks
Recommendation blocks are short summaries that show up at the end of each article. They highlight the most popular travel products readers are likely to buy, enabling them to easily review and purchase travel services without the extra hassle. As a result, these summaries boost conversions.
Creative Control With Emerald
At Travelpayouts, our top priority is privacy and transparency. Bloggers maintain complete control, easily managing Emerald within their Travelpayouts account. This encompasses the ability to exclude specific articles, deactivate the script entirely (with all previously placed tools promptly removed), and reactivate Emerald at any time.
Emerald does not use intrusive or disruptive advertising methods that could harm user engagement and trust.

No. The number of tools integrated by Emerald is chosen strategically and can vary depending on several factors:

- Location of the monetization tools already added before Emerald: we avoid placing new tools near existing ones
- The overall number of affiliate tools already used in the article. We set a reasonable maximum limit of tools Emerald can add, so the content doesn’t look too promotional.
