My favorite site for music widgets has been ReverbNation. Now they offer artists the chance to add widgets from any site. Just go to Admin/Tools and click on Widgets. People can pick up the widgets from your artist page. All widget placements are then tracked. I’ve already added widgets from Eventful, Amie Street, YouTube, and RockYou.

On the “General” tab, under Artist Info you can now add links to multiple social networking sites including MySpace, FaceBook, iLike, PureVolume, Bebo, Imeem, Last.fm, Xanga, Virb, Hi5 and more.

Also under Admin/Tools is a new feature called Gig Finder. Search for gigs by Venue Name, location/distance, venues another artist has played at, or venues similar to another venue. Searching within 5 miles of Brooklyn gave me 77 pages of popular locations. One thing to watch out for though, venues are added by the performers for the most part. For instance “Jessi Robertson CD Release Party @ Rockwood” is not a venue, but you may find some similar entries on Gig Finder.

Track your show attendance by entering the approximate number of fans who came out to a show. Oh, did I mention they can import Twitter updates too?

ReverbNation is certainly one of my favorite sites. It may not drive traffic as much as MySpace, but the features keep coming.
