A widget is anything that can be embedded within a page of HTML, i.e. a web page. A widget adds some content to that page that is not static. Generally widgets are third party originated, though they can be home made. Widgets are also known as modules, snippets, and plug-ins.
Applications can be integrated within a third party website by the placement of a small snippet of code. The code brings in ‘live’ content – advertisements, links, images – from a third party site without the web site owner having to update.
The use of web widgets has been increasingly proposed as a marketing channel that could replace the less effective targeted banner ads and take advantage of the viral distribution in social networks.
Now a days we can hardly find a blog without a widget. It helps in getting more traffic and also provide more related information for the visitor. A widget may be advertisement, similar articles in other pages, web traffic details etc. We will showcase the best blog widgets available today which you can pick and choose for your blog.
