To widget or not to widget?

Everyone is always looking to offer the best possible incentives, graphics, etc to their affiliates which got me thinking about widgets and whether or not it would be appealing to offer our affiliates programming that they could use and track to put on their sites?

We were thinking of creating a widget with a newsfeed and top ten products. So I was wondering if as an affiliate you think offering a widget is a good idea and whether or not you would use it? Also what features would you find particularly helpful?

Depends who you are! I have no idea whether (a) I am an affiliate of yours or (b) if your products suit my website.

But if I was an affiliate and your products did match my website I may use such a feed.

I'm in the middle of developing my site that will be promoting mainly Amazon products and I'm definitely going to add the carousel widget to my otherwise boring looking site as it adds a touch of professionalism and makes it look a bit more stylish.

I might add the Recommended Product Links widget as this will hopefully minimise the amount of time visitors spend looking at the least attractive products on my site and spend more time looking at the better products, which will hopefully be more likely to convert into sales.
