Yes, the great BlogRush is on.

Grab your shovel and start digging cuz this baby is sparkling gold!

If you are a blogger and do not yet have the BlogRush Widget, you are losing free traffic. It’s as simple as that. In just 3 short days, and a relatively new blog, I have managed to earn 8,123 credits. Not too shabby and best of all it’s freakin free traffic by simply installing the BlogRush Widget.

BlogRush Widget Tips???

If you have installed already, be sure to read this interesting post regarding ways to create your posts to optimize your BlogRush click thrus. Some really great points and debatable suggestions are made and worthy of discussion.

I’m "all in" for a clean looking blog…but remove my Digg button? Remove my social networking icons? Is it really that big of a deal?

Personally, I would recommend SnowBoardJohn (the poster) add a little jazz to the blog the post was made from so we can see how big a genius he really is. Maybe a social bookmarking icon would add a little color to his blog and make my eyes go mmmmmm, this guy knows what he’s talking about.

I do like most of what he says, and especially the way John posts a link at the bottom of each post which reads If you enjoyed this post, make sure you subscribe to my RSS feed!

Soooo. If you enjoyed this post, make sure you subscribe to my RSS feed!

Anybody seen my Widget?

I am in a rush to get out the door, so I’ll get back to this post ASAP!

Here’s what they say:

By adding the BlogRush Widget to a blog, a blogger can get instant distribution for their latest blog post titles across a network of related blogs.

BlogRush users earn "syndication credits" (the right to have their blog post titles shown inside a widget on another related blog) based on their own traffic (loads of the widget) as well as the traffic of other users they refer to BlogRush. Users can automatically refer others to BlogRush via special links on the widget, as well as through the promotion of a special referral URL they are given.

BlogRush is a "Cooperative Syndication Network" that rewards its users for their contributions to the network — from the impressions they provide of the BlogRush Widget to the referral of other users through 10 ‘generations’ of activity and the impressions of the widget that they provide. BlogRush was designed to be incredibly viral and to provide its users with tremendous distribution leverage to receive exposure for their blog content (onto related content blogs) that they could never achieve on their own; at least without a massive advertising budget.

BlogRush is the brainchild of Internet entrepreneur, John Reese. Mr. Reese is the founder and CEO of Income.com, a soon to be launched social network and media company for entrepreneurs. BlogRush is the first Web property of the Income.com Network, a network of sites and services to help entrepreneurs and business owners succeed. Income.com is based in Orlando, Florida. Blogrush.com

I have been marketing affiliate products for over a decade and it was natural for me to want more widget tools to help me continue my efforts.

I was about to embark on gathering information for “money making Widgets“. It didn’t take long to discover wildman, Derek Anderson at WidgetsLab.com had already started such a list of sites.

What a concept! Widgets to help you make money.

Another to add to his list might be the Shop Widgets Program from Shopping.com

My job is done! Whew!

Also, I am seeking a Widget programmer who can help me develop a Widget idea related to the pay per click model. I say “programmer” because I believe this may be a little more involved than your average Widget. If you are interested in discussing, please use my contact form widget and leave a best time and number for me to call.

I can’t begin to explain how cool and easy this widget is. I guess I still expect stuff like RSS feeds to be difficult to implement.

In the past maybe…not today!

Indeed, RSS used to be reserved for the brainiacs. The mindless (who are you looking at) now have a shot playing with the big boys. Especially if you learn how to create these for yourself.

Does this Widget look familiar?

and, yes…you can scroll

It should look familiar to my regular readers, because this is an RSS feed of
this very web site, Widgets-Blog.com

If you are already using Feedburner to track your RSS feeds, Springwidgets.com is in beta testing where you can easily add, resize, change colors, link images, and load RSS feeds into your website or blog like never before.

At the time of this post, you will see this Widget displayed on the right hand menu bar. This way, when visitors…uh…visit… no matter where they enter will be able to view the latest posts.

A note about this RSS Widget: I tried to resize in order to fit into my side bar, but it made it difficult to read with long subject line posts.

HTML, Facebook, Friendster, Blogger, Hi5, Xanga and email friendly.

I always love the guys at WidgetBox.

No…NOT LIKE YOU"RE THINKIN’…I want to have sex with them!!!

Just kiddin!

But if you are an eBay maniac, you may just find this useful enough to be tempted.

I have not used this service, but would love to have some feedback from anyone who has because I love the idea designed by the masters at WidgetBox.com

=======================

Here’s another eBay Widget from Widgipedia which operates very similar. They say "Activate your Listing Feeds in eBay… and submit it to us and we do the rest!".

I am curious to know what "the rest" is.

On further inspection, I see WidgetBox beat them to the punch by about a month.

Ooooo. The battle is on!!!

Which is best?

And…I did not forget you MAC users. Check out Easy Ebay.

As an added bonus and in the same arena as the ebay widget is this creative gadget made for real estate professionals. You can embed your listings into the gadget for placement on a variety of websites like Facebook, Wordpress, MySpace, Friendster, etc. Useful anyone?

I have a confession.

I wanted to keep this Widget a secret.

At the same time, I can’t wait to tell you about it.

Those of you who operate a blog, and act as affiliates, are really going to love this one.

This sucker makes placing “rotating ads” on your blog a cinch. Whether its Google Adsense code or affiliate tracking code, this mamma jamma solved my problem.

More Info5 easy steps:

1. Upload the plug-in to your blog.
2. Activate the plug in.
3. Drag and drop into your sidebar.
4. Insert your code into the widget.

Now, every time a new visitor comes to your site, a new ad will be displayed.

You will see an example of this puppy in action on my newest blog SaversBlog.com (opens in a new window).

I’m still working on the site as I write this post, so forgive the mess, but look on the bottom right of the blog. You will see ads for coupons. Refresh the page, and you’ll see another coupon ad is being displayed.

Find your rotating ad widget here.

Good lord, I love Web 2.0!

Do you have an eBay affiliate account?

Wanna make some money with your new eBay widget?

I simply like the idea these guys have come up with.

Here’s the skinny! Their website states you can “embed your eBay PID into this oddball widget, and receive credit for 50% of the clicks from their site.” They are referring to a PID from CJ.com, an affiliate product provider. Bottom line…The genius widget makers are offering to display your ads ID 50% of the time, which means they get 50% display as well. Sounds better than most which offer no compensation at all.

eBay is not one of my favorite programs due to the low commissions, but the “idea” here is what excites me.

Another site with a similar concept is payperwidget.com . I’ll share more about this later.

I found this site from the Netherlands today while seeking Widget resources, and thought you might find it of interest. If you are a beginning developer like myself, do you also find this widget resource helpful?

On another note, I hope you are already using the power of the Firefox browser. If you are a “widget head”, you’ll go bonkers over the ad-ons available to personalize your Firefox browser. I have spent the last few hours downloading some of the latest additions and had to force myself to step away. For newbie surfers, don’t worry, these puppies are extremely to install. Once installed, be sure to check out the Firefox RSS add on from the RRS link if you have ever wanted the short cuts to understanding RSS. In fact, they have all kinds of RSS stuff you’ll want to check out. What a freakin’ time saver.

Lastly, if you have a blog and want to optimize your site for all the free traffic from search engines, this is a must! Not a Widget, but very cool nonetheless. This baby makes the bloggers life so much easier.

Here’s what SEO Title Tag 2.0 version does courtesy of their website:

• Allows you to override a page’s or a post’s title tag with a custom one.
• New for v2.0 A Title Tag input box in the Edit Post and Write Post forms. (Previously in version 1.0 you had to use the Custom Field box.)
• New for v2.0 Mass editing of title tags for all posts, static pages, category pages, tag pages, tag conjunction pages, archive by month pages, — indeed, any URL — all in one go.
• Define a custom title tag for your home page (or, more accurately, your Posts page, if you have chosen a static Front Page set under Options -> Reading), through the Options -> SEO Title Tag page in the WordPress admin.
• New for v2.0 Define the title tag of 404 error pages, also through Options -> SEO Title Tag.
• New for v2.0 Handles internal search result pages too.
• For users of the Ultimate Tag Warrior plugin (which should be everybody!), incorporates the tag name into the title tag on “tag pages” (sorry for the confusing use of “tag” in two contexts here — as in tagging and HTML title tags).
• New for v2.0 (When used with Ultimate Tag Warrior) Customize the title tags on tag pages, and on tag conjunction pages too (e.g. http://www.netconcepts.com/tag/seo+articles). The latter is done through Manage -> Title Tags -> URLs; see this screenshot for an example.
• New for v2.0 Title tags of category pages can optionally be set to the category description. If you use a Meta Tag plugin like Add Meta Tags, then you should not use this feature and instead let the Meta Tag plugin use the category description for the meta description on category pages.
• If you choose to keep the blog name in your title tags (not recommended!), the order of the blog name and the title are automatically reversed, giving more keyword prominence to the title instead of the blog name. Note there is also an option to replace your blog name with a shorter blog nickname.

I have so much more I have discovered today, but I must eat! I’ll gather my thoughts and post again soon.

“The new Vortex Builder2.0 enables anyone to easily create their own Vortex, complete with live Web content, ads, and classified listings!”

That’s the word on the streets and this little tool is exactly what many online marketers have been drooling over. It may just be the tip of the ice berg of whats to come, but this little gadget rocks!

They go on to say this gadget supplies “multiple sources of live, Web information defined by the user, combined with additional topic-specific sources and ancillary media such as rich media content, communication, ads, and listings. Unlike traditional portals and channels, a Vortex collects and displays content directly from original sources, no matter what the format, in real time.”

Holy crap! :0)

Read the full story and see it in action here.

I love Widgets!!!!!
