Licensee FAQ
Frequently asked questions for those interested in running their own Gadget...
1) Can we use our Amazon Affiliate link for the books shown in the Great Horror Books gadget so that we get affiliate revenue for purchases?


Of course. You will actually be uploading your products yourself through the "User Admin" link on this site: http://www.integratedgadgetsystem.com so you can specify whatever product links you want. As a Gadget "User" (a better term for this would be Gadget "Owner" or "Licensee), you will have control over when and how your products are displayed. You can freely change products, replacing old products with new ones. You may also activate or deactivate features, such as social bookmark links.

2) As long as Google does not discontinue the service and we upload only legal content, will the gadget run indefinitely?


We hope that your Gadget will run and be successful for years and years to come. We don't intend on ever removing your Gadget from the system. We also plan to continually develop new features that will enhance your Gadget and make it grow in popularity. Through paid-advertising, we will be sending a steady stream of traffic to our directory of Gadgets (www.googlegadgetdirectory.com) from which your Gadget will benefit. Still, there are always possibilities of company or technology changes that may cause your Gadget to function differently than planned or to be no longer accessible. This is just a standard 'natural disaster' disclaimer that we have to make to protect ourselves. We also need to inform Gadget Licensees that our company policies or pricing may change at any time.


3) Is the $100 "lease" fee one time?


The $100 is a one-time fee and there are no additional or hidden charges. There may be technical service fees if, down the road, you request functionality or display changes to your Gadget; but any such work will be billed at a reasonable rate and you will be given a quote beforehand.
For the $100 fee, we will build, broadcast and publicize your Gadget that will be active indefinitely. You will have 18 free product uploads. If you want more than 18 products, you may buy product uploads at a Licensee's discounted rate. Normal advertisers who do not have their own Gadget pay $5 per product upload, and we upload the products using their text and graphics. But because you will be uploading your own products instead of us, you will only pay $2 per product upload. You will never be required to purchase more product uploads; and 18 products could be enough to keep users interested in your Gadget long-term (especially if your Gadget is set to 'hourly' or 'daily' product rotation).

4) Can you guarantee that my Gadget will get a certain amount of traffic?


Although we will have traffic campaigns in place to send traffic to both our Gadgets and Licensees' Gadgets, we cannot make claims or guarantees about traffic or sales. We will be manually submitting your Gadget to the various Google Gadget directories; and we'll do our best to send targeted consumers to your Gadget(s) and products, but you may consider augmenting this traffic with your own campaigns. You may also want to embed your Gadget on your website to help build a user base.
