- Google Analytics
- AddFreeStats
- XTReMe Tracking

Widgetbox - A box full of widgets
Widgetbox is a directory and syndication platform for web widgets for blogs and other web pages, that's what they claimed. I like how they arrange widgets and it is fairly easy to navigate from one widget to another. User have to sign up as a member before allowed to subscribe any widget. This is how they track each widget subscriptions. You also can submit new widget to them if you want to plus you also have chance to create your own Blidget (Blog + Widget = Blidget) by simply using your blog URL.
I created a Blidget for Widgetrix and it turns out very well. Take a look.

Showcase Video or Photo width Cellbox Widgets
Cellblock is a unique platform for you to share either photo or video content to the mass public.

The idea is to see at a glance where your site's visitors are located instantaneously. The origin of your blog / website visitors are marked as red dot in a world map image. The dot size indicates the intensity of your visitor. In other word, if you see more dot your widget that's mean your blog must be popular.
Since the widget is an image based widget, you can paste the widget any where you like. However you must register an account in the ClustrMaps before you can get this widget. Take a look at our sample.

MyBlogLog Widget
Quoted as the most successful widget in the blogosphere, MyBlogLog probably one of the most widely used widgets I ever seen. The widget is javascript based and most of the time you will find it at the side of a blog. If you are happened to be one of the MyBlogLog member, your photo / profile name will appear on the widgets. So the blog owner will quickly notice that someone were actually visit or read their blog and most of the time he / she will click back on the profile to get to know their reader. Imagine the amount of back link to MyBlogLog, no wonder this project is a success.
Since Widgetizer is still new, you probably won't see any MyBlogLog reader on our blog for now.

A new beginning
Hi folks and welcome to Widgetrix. From time to time, we've seen lots of web widgets available on the net for almost all occasion. Here in Widgetrix we test out the widgets ourself and share our verdict here. We also aim to be one stop resources for web widgets for blogs and other web pages such as TypePad, WordPress, Blogger, MySpace as well as most other blogs, sidebars or websites.
Web widgets have been growing over the past two or three years. They have followed the growth of blogging and social networking. Why and how the widgets exist? According to Wikipedia, the term widget applied to widget engine, widget computing, widget (comics) and even a TV series. However the appropriate defination that we covered in this blog must be this one. A web widget is a portable chunk of code that can be installed and executed within any separate HTML-based web page by an end user without requiring additional compilation.
Widgets make it easy for bloggers and social network users to add photos, videos, music selections, weather forecasts, clocks, quizzes, maps, friends, polls, chat, emoticons, stock charts, sports scores, video games and other content to your blog. So widgets is merely a medium or container for delivering a content from one website to another. YouTube is one of the popuar widget among blogger around the world.
Well the way I see it, perhaps one day widgets will become some sort of major revenue for a producer. Let's just wait and see and for the meantime if you found any cool widgets, let us know. If you're sharing the same passion like we do, let's join forces by joining our blog community.
Thanks
