Now you have two choices for a salemite.com widget/badge. Someone requested a simpler one so I came up with this one.
If you'd prefer to use this one on your blog, go right ahead or you can use both. click "get widget" to get the HTML/Javascript to paste into your site.
To get the original widget with the scrolling list of websites, click here.
These widgets are done through an online site called widgetbox.com. They're kind of like miniature web pages in how they work. Each widget has stats of how many people have viewed the widget and which sites they have been viewed on. It also has the ability of making changes to the widget without changing the HTML on each page that it's displayed. In the future we are hoping to use this system to provide ad space for local Salem Oregon businesses that want to connect to customers here in town. The widget badge that you have on your site now will never become an ad. Advertising will be something that you can choose to do or not and will be totally separate widgets. Knowing the information of how many people are viewing a widget will help us to determine the value of the space that it's on. Any money collected for advertising will be divided up amongst the sites that participate in it based on the number of views per site. This process will be as transparent as possible as there will be second sources to verify the statistics.
Here's some stats from May 2nd to May 4th:
The scrolling widget has been viewed 3,483 times
Yesterday, it was viewed by 246 "uniques"
