I was reading the CashCrate forums and noticed some members with countdown tickers in their signature. These tickers display a goal in a slider type format. One example is a members goal to reach 50 referrals. The ticker shows a slider between 0 and 50 and then shows the current status which might be 15 referrals. Another example might be to show your goal of earning money online. You might have a goal of making 100 dollars by the end of the month.
Using tickers (or widgets) can help in building backlinks for your blog! At the end of the widget code you can add a link back to your blog or website with something like “earn cash online” as your anchor text.
I just recently created my first widget. You may have noticed the Crush my Link! widget I have in my sidebar on the right. This widget allows you to create tiny URLs so it’s easier to post on Twitter, for instance.
You can create widgets for just about anything such as customized RSS feeds from your blog. These widgets can also be placed into Facebook profiles, Myspace pages, etc.
I hope to add more widgets in the future. Some popular websites have entire pages specifically for their widget collection.
