The BlogCatalog JargonFish Widget
Monday, April 7th, 2008BlogCatalog is always on the look out for new features that can get your blog more traffic as well as enhance the value of your blog to visitors, so that they keep on coming back.
We found a tool that we think you’ll really like. BlogCatalog has partnered with JargonFish, a company that offers a free, customizable widget that when added to your blog will increase your blog’s traffic and provide your readers with a convenient way to find blogs from other BlogCatalog members.
So how does JargonFish work?
Once on your blog, the JargonFish widget highlights keywords that you select. When a visitor click on those highlighted keywords, a small JargonFish window is launched providing the visitor with a variety of helpful resources related to that keyword including related blog posts from BlogCatalog members, as well as some other leading content providers, including Digg and Technorati.
What does this mean?
This means that you will be receiving traffic from other members who add the JargonFish tool as well as providing your blog readers with more reasons to visit your site.

JargonFish: Great concept, easy to sign up, all positive.
Just one problem: I’ve added the code to my blog (probably following correct procedure, but you never know).
I’m still waiting for some noticeable change on the posts.
No highlighting that I can see, or underlining.
Either I’m doing something wrong (not impossible), or missing something (ditto), or … something else.
Ideas, anyone?

I installed it on my blog just where told and the only things that got tagged were the first three items in my sidebar (my subscribe info and my mini-profile). It looked pretty silly!
Does it have to be installed in the head data/code or is there another place to install it where it will only work on my posts and not in my sidebar? I have enough issues over there with alignment without adding little blue buttons. In the 25 words it look at, it tagged four. That’s a bit much for my taste, but perhaps it would be more spread out in a post. I’d like to see it on someone’s blog and play with it a bit before I keep it.

I added a while ago and am so busy I looked at it at like said above it was just on some ouji board page or whatever.I”l have to check it over but my point is doesn’t somebody come thru here from Blogcatalog and answer ? Especially when you just offer something something site wide etc.Well I’m in San Antonio and I’m not far from where they’re at? Some other sites the main dog would be poping outta nowhere and answering guestions on the Fly.Three days ….read the rest on my blog .Later
