AnswerCo introduces revenue-generating widget for bloggers

Through the syndication of AnswerCo's database, bloggers now have access to an office and computer supplies cross reference system that rivals the major big box retailers.

(Dallas, TX – August 4th, 2008) - AnswerCo.com, the Web site that provides office and computer supplies cross reference information at your fingertips, is introducing a new revenue stream for bloggers in the form of a widget that gives their readers a price comparison tool for Office & Computer Supplies.

The AnswerCo office and computer supplies widget is the largest product configurator for supplies associated to major manufacturer’s printers and other machines. This widget is designed specifically to increase conversions on product-focused blogs and Web sites.

Although this service can be used by anybody with a Web site or blog, it is especially geared towards bloggers who write about Printers, Copiers, Fax Machines, Projectors and Digital Cameras. When a reader clicks on the widget, and goes to Amazon’s Marketplace to make a purchase, the blogger will make a good portion of the commission. This is the perfect tool for bloggers that don’t have the programming background or the capability to offer 12,000 products from Amazon’s website in a price comparison tool.

The widget is easy to set up by placing place a link on your site, place in any anchor text link or choose from multiple graphics and links. The new Ink & Toner or Accessories widget is loaded with over 10,000 of the top office supplies from Amazon’s marketplace, and over 75,000 models from AnswerCo’s database.

"More people are turning to independent sources like blogs for honest product opinions and information” stated Bruce Capper president. “This cross-reference widget gives bloggers the capability to have thousands of products on their websites, thereby increasing commission to them personally.”

To sign-up and view a working Price Comparison & cross-reference tool for Office Supplies visit www.answerco.com or call 214-ANSWERS for more information.

AnswerCo is part of the Computer and Office Supplies industry. Their service is maintaining a cross-referencing database of consumables to their respective machines and cross compatibility of these consumables for the Office Products Dealer and Computer Supplies specialist.
