The Widgeteers

Friday, September 19th, 2008

I’m a Widgeteer now.

A what?

Yes, you read it right. A Widgeteer.

What’s that?

Recently I joined the hottest advertising network on the planet for free: The Widgeteers Global Super Viral Advertising Network. Twenty or so marketers from across the world have built a sort of people’s advertising network and are sharing the wealth in the spirit of the three Musketeers…

“All for One and One for All!”

The Widgeteers use various advertising methods such as the widget I have on the right, block ads similar to Google Adsense like the one below, which you can edit to suit your site as well as flying and exit advertising.


There are a few things i found useful with The Widgetters advertising system such as you can cloak your affiliates link to look like a normal URL. The Widgeteers allow affiliate links, so not only can you drive traffic to your blog or website, you can advertise your affiliates program or affilaites website.

Other nice touches include changing your ads on the fly ( you change your ad and it changes automatically across the network) and you get credits for just displaying adverts, no clicking involved,  which should be good for fellow Entrecard users.

Also, when anyone you refer to The Widgeteers joins and displays widgets on their web site, you receive additional credits. As others sign up below them, you earn even more credits. This continues for a full ten levels deep. And if you refer someone who upgrades their account you can actually make some commission.

One thing that really impressed me with The Widgeteers was that on the original launch date about a week ago, they experienced some difficulties, but they actually had a live webcam show updating members on the current situation and what was being done. Now that is what I call customer service.

Now you know why I’m a Widgeteer.
