Applications & Widgets
Let’s not forget the most important part of getting noticed on the Internet. Interesting and interactive content that people would like to share is not only a great way to get noticed instantly but is a terrifically proven method of getting tons of daily content from all over the world.
Widgets are the best way to get this done and fast. Many people know about widgets but they are often underutilized due to the fact that they can be complicated to create and even more complicated to come up with a great idea to translate into one. Most of the time, they are often not used because, although popular, many people just do not realize their potential.
In my experience I have noticed one ridiculous and seemingly obvious fact and that is the ‘people who use a lot of widgets use a lot of widgets’. Yes this may sound redundant but the reason I say this is because if a person is out to add a lot of widgets to their pages, they are most likely going to add your too if it is relevant to the content of their webpage(s). But the idea is not to simply stop there because many widget gallery providers sport ads on your widgets and do not allow for very good SEO capabilities that track back to your own website.
The primary idea is to get people to notice a single widget that has a link at the bottom to other available widgets that you create on your own website. Once this is done, the widgets on your own web site are not relying on the widget capabilities of websites like widgetbox.com so that you can allow those newer widgets to be tracked by search engine spiders. This becomes viral very quickly and gives you tons and tons of back links to your website in no time. And as you know, the more back links you obtain, the higher you page ranks become.
Widgets are only the beginning, creating software that runs as a standalone on a person’s computer is a great way to keep visitors returning. For example, creating a toolbar can not only make you extra cash for people using it on a daily basis but also keeps your website visible in the users browser at all times. It’s like sending out a subliminal message that you are still there and allows them to come back over and over again at the click of a button.
Creating your standalone software that can be downloaded allows users the ability to obtain interesting and useful content for their computer as well as an excuse to update them to new information and products as it becomes available. People often store these programs in their common folders which often get linked to file sharing networks. This in turn created for a terrific outcome in viral visitor capabilities quickly too. You do not have to sell these programs to discover how valuable they are either. Just offering free software to download not only brings visitors coming back over and over again but also introduces your site to people who never knew it existed and never even found you in the search engines to begin with.
