Offering a Google Widget to your site visitors increases activity and return users by dynamically displaying pertinent content from your Pligg site on their Google home page. As any pligg site owner knows, it's all about getting users to return and actively participate in your site. So I can't stress how important providing a feature like this to your end users can be to your site.

I have created a 4 tab dynamic widget which provide the following.

Popular news from your site.
Upcoming news from your site.
What stories are being discussed.
The top contributors to your site.

All this is packed into one Google Widget which can easily be installed through a link on your site, or optimally used in conjunction with the welcome email module.



You can view the demo I made for erieideas.com here.

I will make a custom Google Widget for your Pligg site for the low cost of $49.95

You will receive a zip file containing the widget xml file to be uploaded to your site along with a readme.txt containing the Google URL for your users to add it. I will only be making 10 widgets per month due to time constraints, so it will be first come first served.
If you are interested please contact me here along with your website link and your email address for which to receive the file. I will will reply with my paypal details to send payment. Once payment is received I will create and send the file. Thanks.

Awesome, Chuck!

Is there anyway to create a version of this that allows visitors to add this widget to their blog or website?

Not with this widget, it's strictly made for Google, but I am working on a widget that would allow you to essentially plug a Pligg site into just about any type of site.
I've attached a screenshot below of Pligg+Wordpress

Excellent!

Two questions:
1) I noticed the settings page lets users specify RSS URL and title for the 4 tabs of this widget. Any way to hard code these in and/or change the number of total tabs?

2) Will you b offering package deals for Google widget + Wordpress (or others)? Discounts?

Hi VLJ

Good questions.

1) The widget does come with the Pligg site hard coded and although the data fields appear editable in the settings, they are not. The only options the end user has is the ability to toggle the story summary from the published, and upcoming news.

2) The Wordpress+Pligg sidebar hack was sort of created by accident while I was working on the mobile template. Integrating pligg and wordpress like I did above requires the mobile template be installed. I hope to release the mobile template in the next few days, and after that I'll release the wordpress+pligg script. Both of which will be free.

Hope that answerers your questions.

Looks like a helpful widget. Does the widget work on Pligg 9.8.2?

Also, if we upgrade later to the 1.0 version of Pligg, will the widget still work?
