With a new service from Mpire, bloggers can choose from widgets that point shoppers to Amazon and eBay, reports The Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
Widgets are snippets of code that users place on a website. A small icon can bring clickers to Amazon or eBay. The widgets are free and those using them may keep 100 percent of the revenue from subsequent sales.
The company hopes to drum up paid business by charging search engines and other companies to create custom widgets. The proliferation of the widgets across the blog landscape will ideally also help improve search engine results for Mpire.
To ensure maximum adoption, widgets were created for all the major blogging platforms, including MySpace.
