Ad supported widgets

We've had a great past 12 months. We served out over 2 billion widgets ( thats right ) during this time period, grew our installed base, and rolled out a bunch of tools for bloggers. The Wowzio blog network is now ranked in the top 200 by Quantcast.

Over the next few weeks, we will experiment with supporting our widgets with ads. While we don't know what the final form will be, we do know the goals we've set for ourselves as we go down this path, they are:

  • The widgets should continue to serve their primary purpose as well as they currently do, which is to help users discover great content on blogs
  • The widgets should continue to enhance the aesthetics of the blog as well as they currently do. ( i.e. look like an integral module of the blog ).


As always, we would love to hear from you, so that we can factor your ideas into our rollout. Email us at feedback@wowzio.com or use our feedback form.
