- Businesses often need good shopping carts, and no shopping cart is simpler than the Simple Paypal Shopping Cart widget. It makes adding prices and "Buy Now" buttons a cinch, and once an item is added, the shopping cart shows up as a widget in the sidebar. WP E-Commerce and Yak for Wordpress are also great shopping cart solutions.
- Social Networking has become free marketing for many small businesses, and managed well, can increase sales and help the bottom line. There are several social media widgets that can help with this. One of the most comprehensive widgets is the Social Media Widget, which supports more than 50 social networks in one widget.
Another effective widget is Tweetmeme, which lets visitors easily re-tweet a business' posts on Twitter. And to finish the list, no site should be without a Facebook Like button, provided by the Facebook Like Box Widget. - No site should be without the Google Analytics Dashboard WordPress Widget. For businesses, there is no better way to quickly and easily analyze site traffic, how that traffic found your site and how you can enhance their experience while on your site. The Analytics My Site plugin/widget is another quality option for this.
- Two effective login/registration widgets are the Subscribe2 and the Simple Facebook Connect widgets. Subscribe2 is a low-profile information-collector for a business site. Simple Facebook Connect allows visitors to register on your site using their Facebook account, which also gives you valuable contact information for later consideration.
