(As of June 1st, 2011, the viral installer feature is no longer supported for new widgets)
Enable users to get your widget directly from your website and spread it fast with the Viral Installer. Users can get your widget in a few clicks with all the customization you want. The Viral Installer also puts a Get Widget button on your widget enabling even more users to easily get your widget once it's left your site. With the Viral Installer, your widgets will spread fast - like a virus!
Your widget will be listed in the Widgebox gallery and promoted through other Widgetbox distribution partners across the web. Additionally, the Viral Installer comes with a Get Widget button enabling users to easily put your widget on popular sites such as MySpace, Blogger, and many more.
You don't need to do any development work. Just copy and paste the Viral Installer code onto your site and it's ready to go.
Track how many users have viewed, clicked, and installed your widget.
You can set up the Viral Installer to allow users to customize your widget directly on your site.
The Viral Installer is available from your registered widgets’ Widget Dashboard, accessible from the "Your Widgets" page on Widgetbox. If your widget supports the Viral Installer, there will be a button labeled “Distribute Your Widget”. Note: The Viral Installer is available for any developed widget, only available for Blidgets if your account is at least Widgetbox Business Pro, and is not available for Template widgets.
