Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method for providing hosted product recommendations on retail websites, comprising: collecting, by a computing device operated by a service provider, product information for two or more products available via the Internet, wherein the product information comprises one or more of a product name, product brand, product price, product picture, product rating, website address for a retailer, accessories related to a product, and products that are often bought by purchasers of the product; determining, by the computing device, that a first product is related to a second product based at least in part on the collected product information for the two or more products; generating, by the computing device, a product recommendation script, which comprises computer-coded information that is operable to cause information about the second product to be displayed on a retail website associated with the first product when the product recommendation script is embedded therein and when information about the first product is display on the retail website; and transmitting, by the computing device, the product recommendation script to a retail website host, which embeds the product recommendation script within the retail website such that execution of the script on the retail website when the first product is presented on the retail website causes the information about the second product to be presented on the retail website with the information for the first product, wherein the retail website host is distinct from the service provider.
