Today I want to talk about a great website I was invited to review: Pnyxe.com. Actually Pnyxe.com is not only a website, but a network that works linking user generated content.

Founded in 2007, Pnyxe offers 2 kinds of social widgets for websites:

1. DiscussIt: DiscussIt is a social comment system. It improves the interaction among users, which are encouraged to post content on your site, this way increasing the usability, shares on the social media channels and the traffic on your website.
2. ForumIt: ForumIt is a forum widget, which allows for the users to open a fan forum.

The way Pnyxe works is really amazing: The users have a profile which is used on all sites. Users and their content is ranked by PostRank™, allowing for the user generated content to be listed so that the most relevant goes on top.

Anytime another user replies to an author’s post, the author is automatically notified via email, which encourages them to come back to the site and add to the discussion. Authors and discussions can be followed by other users.

Social Media Marketing is also highly improved, through an easy mechanism which allows authors to share their posts on their Facebook wall and Twitter account. That is a great way to increase targeted traffic from their followers.

The management panel is highly effective, with several features such as spam filters, users roles/permissions, actions via email, user friendly interface.

Pnyxe DiscussIt adds a comment box which totally fits your website design by inheriting its CSS rules. It is also easily customizable via CSS.

Pnyxe offers free versions of their products: they are fully functional and offer all features present on the Pro and Standard versions, except they display ads, don’t have phone support and don’t allow migrating data from an existing system to Pnyxe or tailor-made customizations.

Main benefits of Pnyxe Social Widgets:

SEO: It’s well known that Search Engines “love” dynamic and user generated content, especially when it is frequently updated. The content in Pnyxe’s widgets is crawlable and very search engine friendly, and will increase your search engine indexing and rankings.

User engagement: Everybody likes to participate, to interact with other people. Pnyxe’s widgets allows and encourage the user participation, adding value to the discussions and increasing users’ permanency on the site.

Traffic: Improving search engine rankings and social media presence, Pnyxe’s widgets will boost your traffic. More than that, your targeted traffic will increase.

ROI: Of course boosting your targeted traffic your sales and ROI (return on investment) will increase.

For all those reasons I highly recommend you install Pnyxe’s widgets on your site.
