Hello Friends,
After My Previous Post Happy New Year !! 2012 Arrives, I'm Here Back With A Nice and Cool Post In which You Will Know About Punchtab. It is A Free Loyalty Program Builder For Your Blogs, Sites Which Will Help in Social Engagement In Your Site. This is Really A Great Plugin For All Newbies and Pro Bloggers.

What Is Punchtab?

PunchTab is the world’s first instant loyalty platform that allows website owners (including bloggers), application developers and brands to create a social and mobile-enabled loyalty program for free in minutes. We have two popular products today, both of which cost nothing to use:

• An ongoing loyalty program that you can use to encourage your users to visit every day, share your content on social networks and leave comments (we also have a development kit that allows you to add custom ways to earn points). Users will earn points every day for their actions and can redeem for rewards from a customizable loyalty catalog when they earn enough points.
• A one-time promotional giveaway widget that encourages your users to spread the word about your site in exchange for entries into a prize raffle.

More details about PunchTab’s giveaway widget:

The PunchTab giveaway widget allows your users to earn entries into a raffle for a prize that you provide by taking the following actions on your site:

• Liking your giveaway on Facebook. (+1 entry)
• Becoming a Facebook Fan of your website. (+1 entry)
• Leaving a comment about your giveaway. (+1 entry)
• Tweeting about your giveaway. (+1 entry)
• Sharing your giveaway on their Facebook wall. (+1 entry)
• Sending Facebook invites to their friends. (+1 entry for each invite)
• Distributing a unique invite link to your giveaway. (+1 entry for each friend that visits your giveaway and +5 entries for each friend that joins the giveaway) This is a great way to make sure that your users tell all their friends about your site.

Your loyalty program

To set up a loyalty program on your site you can simply visit the homepage of PunchTab.com and sign up using your email address and domain. Make sure to provide a valid email address; this is where we’ll email you a temporary password to log back in and manage your loyalty program. Also make sure to use just the domain component of your website address (eg. domain.com, do not use www.domain.com) unless you are on a blogging platform like Blogger where you’ll want to use the full URL. The installation wizard will take you through the steps of getting your loyalty program up and running on your site with in-line help along the way. You should take this time to change the password we emailed you to something that you’ll remember.

After installing you should log out of PunchTab.com and visit your site and make sure that the program is working. You should see a red Rewards tab appear on the side of your site (this can be customized, see below); any social sharing buttons or comment boxes that you already have will automatically be detected and a red ribbon will appear next to them (these can be turned off, see below). Not all social sharing buttons and comment boxes are supported (see the Earning Opportunities section for more details).

Earning opportunities for your users

Your users can earn points on your site in the following ways; a small red ribbon will appear next to supported social sharing buttons and comment boxes automatically.

• Visiting your site every day – for their first visit to your site every day your users will earn 100 points
• Liking your content on Facebook – for their first Like on your site every day your users will earn 100 points
• Tweeting your content – for their first Tweet on your site every day your users will earn 100 points
• Google +1 your content – for their first Google +1 on your site every day your users will earn 100 points
• Commenting – for their first comment of the day your users will earn 100 points

Currently we do not support third party social sharing widgets but fully support generic:

• Facebook Like buttons (xfbml or html5)– http://developers.facebook.com/.../plugins/like/
• Tweet buttons – http://twitter.com/about/resources/tweetbutton
• Google +1 buttons – http://www.google.com/webmasters/+1/button/

We also only support the following commenting systems Facebook, Wordpress (requires plugin), Typepad, Blogger, DISQUS.

As you can see the maximum number of loyalty points that a user can earn in one day is 500.

They also have a developer kit that allows you to define custom earning actions. You can go to our blog and find examples showing how you can use it: Simple Javascript SDK Tutorial – Reward Enable Your Website and if you are interested, you can get access to the SDK by activating your developer account on PunchTab.
