What are Widgets? A widget is a portable chunk of code that can be installed and executed within any separate HTML-based web page by an end user without requiring additional compilation. (Source: Wikipedia)

Why would you want one? Our widgets allow you to dynamically display your sales rank on your site. If you have a web page or blog, a widget is a great way to promote your book while simultaneously supporting this site.

What do the widgets look like? Our widgets come in two flavors. Both proudly display the current sales rank for the item whose widget code you copied (typically your book or CD).

Tower Widget: Designed for users who want to promote sales. Each widget displays an item picture, sales rank, and a “Buy Now” button to encourage sales conversions. When users click the “Buy Now” button they are taken to the corresponding Amazon product page through a “Metric Junkie” affiliate link, allowing us to earn a small percentage in the event a sale occurs. This is one of the ways that you can help support us and help keep our service free.

Box Widget: For those who are still interested in displaying their products Amazon sales rank on their blog or web page but have limited real-estate, this option is for you:

OK, I am sold. Where can I get a widget for my book? Click on the icon located on the “Product Details” page for the corresponding item. Once there, grab the code under “Copy This Code” and paste it at the desired location on your web page.

That’s it! Now when visitors come to your page your sales rank will be displayed in all its glory.
