Widgetbox is excited to announce the launch of the Widgetbox Blog Network – a collection of blogs and bloggers connected by a single widget and across 29 channels of content. Widgetbox already has a strong presence on blogs (see below) and the Blog Network is an opportunity to connect blogs, bloggers and audiences:

- Widgetbox has widgets on over 250,000 unique blogs
- Blidgets have been served over 1.5 BILLION (!) times
- Widgetbox now reaches over 65 million unique each month (verified by Quantcast)

Here’s how it works:

Let’s imagine that you are a huge Paris Hilton fan and an avid celebrity news blogger. You would join the Celebrity Channel and place the widget in your blog’s template (widget shown below). On each page view, new blog posts are dynamically presented from other bloggers also in the Celebrity Channel – and likewise, your blog posts appear on their pages… effectively driving highly relevant traffic across the network and taking advantage of Widgetbox’s large audience / community.

On your blog, the widget will actually be customized to display a badge of your blog and its rank within the Channel!

Joining is easy:

1. Visit http://www.widgetbox.com/network and select the Channel that fits your blog
2. Click the Join This Network button, select your blidget (or create one) and then grab the Channel Widget’s code
3. Add the code to your blog template and press activate

That’s it. Your content will now be automatically populated in the widget and you will begin to see new streams of traffic.
