Web Services & Application Store Blog

Paul Skorning launched his WordPress Plugin at the zanox Application Store this week. It adds contextual product data links out of the 60 Million zanox product database to each post. The plugin is very easy to install and gives you another opportunity to monetise your contents.

This tutorial shows how to monetize blogs using zanox Web Services.

Part-I of this tutorial will focus on blogger.com.

So everything you’ll need to do is:

1. Open your Blog Layout at blogger.com (screen 1)


2. Create a new HTML/Script Gadget (screen 2)


3. Use the the Widget Source Code from snipplr as content for the HTML/Script Gadget (screen 3)


4. Replace the ApplicationId in the source example with yours and start writing content.

As you can see at screen 4, the new Gadget shows product data offers as a list of text links, always related to the headline of your blog entry.

Have fun!
