Our research showed that one of the major challenges an author faces is in grabbing the attention of their blog and website visitors and getting them to take a desired action.<br \/>\nSo we\u2019ve come up with a nifty little new technology called the Landing Page Widget.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is a Landing Page Widget?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A Landing Page Widget is an overlay or a splash screen that shows an animated image along with a call to action (such as \u201cBuy My Book\u201d, or \u201cPre-Order\u201d or \u201cParticipate in the Giveaway\u201d.) The widget shows up over your content (whether it is your blog content or website content) and the user can close the widget to access the underlying content.<br \/>\nNo coding is necessary and the entire process of installing the widget is really simple.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Let us say that you\u2019re launching a new book. You would get the \u201cCurtain Raiser\u201d Landing Page widget for your book. This would look like this:<\/p>\n<p><center><object width=\"525\" height=\"375\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/cdn.freado.com\/cdn\/book\/lpw\/curtain.swf?t=Why+Your+Boss+is+Programmed+to+be+a+Dictator&amp;i='55da7a15844ec024b07b426a8169c081.png'&amp;a=Now%20Available%20in%20Book%20Stores%20Near%20You&amp;l=Buy%20Now&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.co.uk%2FWhy-Your-Boss-Programmed-Dictator%2Fdp%2F0462099024%3Ftag%3Dfreado0c-20\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"opaque\" \/><embed src=\"http:\/\/cdn.freado.com\/cdn\/book\/lpw\/curtain.swf?t=Why+Your+Boss+is+Programmed+to+be+a+Dictator&amp;i='55da7a15844ec024b07b426a8169c081.png'&amp;a=Now%20Available%20in%20Book%20Stores%20Near%20You&amp;l=Buy%20Now&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.co.uk%2FWhy-Your-Boss-Programmed-Dictator%2Fdp%2F0462099024%3Ftag%3Dfreado0c-20\" wmode=\"opaque\" width=\"525\" height=\"375\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" \/><\/object><\/center>All widget themes are available at no extra charge to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bookbuzzr.com\/plans.php\" target=\"_blank\">BookBuzzr subscribers<\/a>.
