- 1. Provide quick overview of the Associates program
- For an affiliate audience - the widget must be for other people to see on the web, not you! We’re not talking about Google Gadgets or about UI Widgets (eg radion-buttons or scroll-bars) –
- This is to talk about all the actors in the widget publication process and where the money is. Who makes widgets? How do they end up on websites being viewed by people? What is the role of widget distributers?
- Express Yourself through widgets > Build loyal userbase Widgets supplement your content > Users actually enjoy your ‘ads’ Bring Amazon to your users > Increase user retention, Build user trust Showcase product info in fun, innovative ways > Increase CTR and Conversion
- Lots of widgets for various uses. Here are some: MP3 Clips, Carousel, YVW, Deals, Unbox, Slideshow This slide should show other widget galleries…
- Call out differences between a Search widget and a static link/banner Users can browse through search results inline You can provide a default search term to personalize the widget to your page content Provide sufficient information for viewer to decide whether they want to buy Provide Kindle/MP3/AVOD immediate download buttons when applicable
- Center of Page: Blog post talking about your recent Coldplay concert trip => Add a 250x250 MP3 Clips widget containing Coldplay albums Sidebar: Gaming Consoles site => Add a ‘Ferris Wheel’ containing Top-Sellers from the ‘Video Games’ category Banner: Photography site => Add a banner deals widget containing discounted products from Digital Cameras & Accessories
- Free-size: My Favorites, Search, Wishlist Preset sizes: Slideshow, Deals, MP3 Clips etc. We’re moving towards making more IAB sized widgets available.
- Personalized titles to endorse your product selection => If you’ve built trust with your viewers, this results in higher CTR
- The key advantage of widgets over static links/banners is the dynamic product selection. You can change products via My Widgets and all widget placements are automatically updated Use ‘Shuffle Products’ in My Favorites, MP3 Clips => End viewer gets to see a different set of products each time. If you build a bestsellers/new releases widget, product selection is kept up-to-date automatically.
- Use Widget Source to: - Create multiple widgets easily - Build cool mashups with other web services Better integration of widgets with your web site experience Targeted to power-users with basic programming ability.
- Perfect widget placement => customized colors/size to blend with site, widget always visible because it’s placed in the sidebar Very topical, User Comments for added personalization
- SoundUnwound is an Amazon.com site; uses Widget Source to dynamically place relevant MP3 tracks on music wiki pages Can also use Amazon AAWS keyword search to add relevant MP3 tracks/titles
