After a couple of weeks of development we launched MytestBox.com widget!

You can see it in action here www.mytestbox.com/get-widget . Now you can have our reviews on your site or blog, free without any registration required!

The websites or blogs where you will use our widget should be in the technology related field (download sites, software reviews sites, forums, gadgets, tech blogs, software tutorials sites, tech news, social media sites and so on). It should complement your website/blog by offering more value to your visitors.

Soon, we will offer news from the software industry and will have a widget for that too.

If you think you can contribute with reviews (and get paid eventually) please contact us using the Contact page. You can have a look at our review requirements here.

If you are a company and you want your web software to be reviewed please contact us too at the same Contact page.

In the future we want to compile a list of the websites/blogs which uses our widget and publish it here.

Those websites/blogs will get a free link (not nofollow) to them so it may help them in Google ranking.

 

——— For websites

As you will see the widget is highly configurable from a control panel (Widget Configuration) without reloading the page.

You can play as long as you want and when you are content with the result you can copy the Javascript code from below the configuration panel and paste it on your website (Copy and paste the following code in your page).

If you copy the Javascript code as it is without any configuration then the default widget will be presented. And you see already how it looks on Get our Widget page.

This Javascript code is designed to work for regular websites which are not blogs (usually blogs don’t allow Javascript code to be embedded in post or page. You have to hack the core pages of the blog or blog theme).

 

——- For WordPress blogging software platform

We have also developed a plugin for Wordpress blogging software platform. Checkout Wordpress here (it’s free to use) and our review about this blogging software platform (video-tutorials included)

    Filed Under (Classifieds Ads) by Heather Williamson

    Have you ever dreamed of owning your own online classified ads website? Using GeoClassifieds, the online classifieds software solution, you can get yourself started for no money out of your pocket, and easily continue to add useful features as your business does.

    GeoClassifieds was developed by Geodesic Solutions as part of their core product line. The business and IP professionals of Geodesic Software opened their doors in Dallas, Texas in 2001 and been delivering a variety of classified and auction software to a wide variety of international clients.

    What does my server require?

    GeoDesic Solutions creates 4 versions of their GeoClassifieds software. They have a Lite (free), Basic, Professional, and Enterprise version. No matter which version of GeoClassifeds you chose to install, you must have the following basic services on your Web host:

  • Unix/ Linux/ or Windows based host
  • PHP 4.3+
  • MySQL
  • GD Libraries
  • IonCube or Zend Optimizer (for license key for commercial versions)
  • GeoClassifieds is compatible with any popular browser from Internet Explorer to Safari. Users may want to have a high speed Internet connection, simply because the nature of classified ad software implies the use of a lot of small and large images associated with selling individual items.

    Can My Server Install GeoClassifieds For Me?

    Many web hosting providers use control panel software to allow the automatic installation of a preset list of programs. GeoDesic is not currently announcing an affiliation with any of these control panel developers, so you may not find it listed in your control panel. Because of the time involved in installing and configuring a PHP application on a Linux server, you may want to check your hosts control panel first. Most of them can be accessed through a Web Applications or Add New Application link on your control panel’s home page.
