BandPage Adds Deeper Partner Integrations & New Usage Stats



BandPage has just announced deeper integrations

with several partners in their new Connect API, as well as new usage numbers for

their platform. Musicians can now update Facebook, Twitter and SoundCloud

profile pictures right from BandPage, plus update their SoundCloud bio. The

company has also announced that 100,000 extensions (widgets connecting

musicians’ Bandpage profiles to their websites and blogs) have been used since

the July launch of BandPage Everywhere plus other numbers.



BandPage launched Connect

a few weeks ago, which allows artists to instantly integrate their BandPage

profile onto several social and music platforms across the web for free,

including initial launch partners WordPress, Guitar Center, Midem Music

Festival, PledgeMusic, Conduit Mobile, Earbits, StoryAmp, Tixie, Music XRay,

Local Music Vibe, WeDemand and The Social Radio.

In the weeks following

the launch, the company reports that several of these partners have been seeing

uplifts in traffic stemming from the implementation. Local services like Local

Music Vibe saw a six-fold increase in worldwide artist signups and a dramatically

increased conversion rate. WordPress alone saw over one million fan

interactions with BandPage Extensions installed across musician WordPress sites

and blogs, including artists like M83 and Taking Back Sunday.

“BandPage Connect and the distribution of our embeddable API

model to third-party developers is simply the next phase of our strategy, and

we will continue to broaden our capabilities as well as our network of

authorized platforms in the weeks and months ahead,” said BandPage Founder and

CEO J Sider.

The BandPage Connect API is open for any and all developers

to sign up and start using right away on the BandPage Developer Portal.
