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.

Different browsers require different platforms in order to make your Widget
work. Keep in mind, Internet Explorer is still largely the widest used browser.
However, and personally, I prefer Firefox which operates similarly to IE, and most Widgets will work perfectly in both browsers. Opera, a relatively new browser may have
some restrictions. Opera user feedback is welcome.
