So to contrast, Youtube plays 100m videos a day, and 57% plus of their views happen off site. So.. at 57 million views a day, I'd say the comScore numbers are missing a lot. I don't think their overall numbers can be trusted, if they make such glaring errors and leave out so many sites that experience far more widget use, such as Flickr, which are on thousands of blogs and must experience thousands of page views. mary Hi,

Branding is another obvious use for them. If your business model in part has to do with people using your system then a widget that helps make that system easy to use would work well and help spread the reach of your system. That would seem to fit nicely with affiliate marketing where if you make it easy for people to join and use your affiliate program through a widget you should end up with more people joining and using your affiliate program.

The Shareasale network, http://www.shareasale.com has a pretty nice widget making feature for merchants to make widgets available for affiliates to promote products. Popshops.com is another company focused on widgets for affiliate marketers. Lots of potential for promoting coupons, deals, hot products and all kinds of stuff.

They spend countless devoted social hours towards their marketing. They are like lowly interns that work their butts off for them and they love every moment of it.
