What does the Oddball Widget do?

The Oddball Widget will provide webmasters with easy to install, fresh daily content for FREE!

The Oddball Widget allows the webmaster to choose how many funny ebay auctions they wish to display in their sidebar. Oddball Auctions will update these auctions every day, so webmasters will have fresh, interesting content every time a viewer returns. Unlike most widgets and RSS feeds, this widget will not "steal" your viewers. If a viewer clicks on an interesting auction, a new window or tab will open, so you don't lose your viewers! The auctions listed will not have any adult items, so this widget is suitable for any web site.

Additionally, if a webmaster has an ebay affiliate account, the widget allows them to enter their PID, and receive credit for 50% of the clicks from their site. Once someone clicks on an interesting auction, ebay places a 7-day cookie on their computer. So, if the viewer buys ANYTHING on ebay in the next 7 days, ebay pays a commission. For example, if one of your viewers clicks on "image of donald duck in a pancake", then leaves ebay, then, the next day they buy a car from ebay, ebay pays a commission on the car!

So not only do you get free, daily content, but it can make money for you as well! If a webmaster just wants to display the free daily content without getting an ebay PID, that's fine too. Want to sign up for a PID? Get one quickly here

This widget is fully stylable using CSS, so it will fit in perfectly with the look of your site.

The widget zip file consists of only 2 files, a brief readme.txt with installation instructions, and the widget itself. The widget should be installed in your /wp-content/plugins/widgets folder.
