A while ago, just about the time Snap offered just to every webmaster an opportunity to use their new Snap View Anywhere, I went ahead and installed the gadget on my site. This gadget shows a little preview of every outgoing link on your website. While initially I liked the toll and even thought it may enhance some of my websites. I also thought that this tool can benefit affiliates who are authoring review websites and blogs. Unfortunately the tool contributes to “unexpected” behavior of your website. Generally when visitors come to your website, they do not expect anything to happened while hovering with the cursor over a particular link. Also if you have affiliate links on your website, this tool reveals the affiliate link even if you try to mask it.
While some of the major players can monetize with Snap View Anywhere via the search box, it doe not offer much in terms of profits to an average blogger.
In case of this website, the tool interferes with AdBrite ads and has lowered dramatically the click-through rate in both of my AdBrite zones.
Also, this tool delivers the previews to your visitors via javascript that is not hosted on your server and as an effect it may contribute dramatically to slow down your website.
