Build a Social Media Bar with Skysa
In case you have been surfing the Web a lot lately, you may have seen those sites that take advantage of footer bar to promote social media profiles and related RSS feeds. Thanks to services such as Skysa, you can build your own social media bar and give your visitors more ways to interact with your website and connect with you on social networking websites.
Skysa footer bars essentially add a task-bar to your website. So your users can open up different windows on your website and even join your chat-room. Designing your own Skysa is not that difficult. All you have to do is provide your information and pick the design you feel fit your website’s layout the best.
What I like about Skysa bars is all the apps that you can add to your bar. So whether you want to promote your Twitter account or let others to connect with you on YouTube, there is an app for that. Here are just a few apps you can add to your footer bar:
- Chat Room
- Facebook Fan page
- Flickr
- Google Maps
- Navigation Widget
- RSS Feed
- Translate
- Voting Poll
- YouTube
If you are an advanced user, you can add you own widgets to your bar. So you’ll have plenty of ways to add more interactivity to your website.
Footer bars are truly underrated. It’s true that a lot of people may not pay attention to your bar, but some visitors do. By giving them more ways to interact with your website, you only help build a more solid community around your website. Considering that Skysa’s bars are for free, there is no reason not to try them.
[...] You can also add games and all kinds of other applications to your footer. You’d be surprised what you can do with this toolbar. While it may not increase your traffic 100 folds, it does give you a better chance to engage your visitors and get their attention. Another good social toolbar to add and a very good alternative to Skysa. [...]
