Think of the toolbar as a web portal
If you could build your own web portal in 24 hours, what would it be about?

Remember: Usability = Downloads
Usability is key to online profits from your toolbar. The more value-adding it is to your users, the more downloads you’ll get. Make yours a killer toolbar by including popular components such as search box, a radio component and useful links related to your niche. Build it so that it would be hard for your users to give up such a great service.

Address a wide niche, but not too wide
Select a niche that would attract as many users as possible. There are plenty of wide niches in which the chances of success of an effectively built toolbar are close to 100%.

Choose a universal niche - Your toolbar theme could attract users from all over the world.


My universal niche is torrent search. Like 80% of the surfers, I too download TV series or a new movie. I saw the need for a tool to help me efficiently and quickly search for torrents on the web. I built the Torrent Search Bar which consists of 27 top Torrent Search engines. My toolbar is very useful for the huge file-sharing community, which immediately embraced it. The toolbar enables to download fresh Torrents as soon as they’re released. The RSS box (which has 9 feeds) provides new Torrents with tons of seeds, a very attractive feature to the users. The Torrent search bar enjoys global success, while writing this over 1,650,000 people downloaded it!! At first I predicted it would get around 80 daily downloads, but it’s getting tens of thousands and the numbers growing rapidly.  The constant flow of great feedback helped me realize that I came up with the right toolbar at the right time. It’s as if people were waiting for this kind of toolbar.
