Live Demo

Below is Gary's demo showing CheatGPT's label configuration. Note the rebrand from "OpenBrand" after Sara convinced Kevin (our best designer) to leave Vagibond for Montgomery's startup. The version history tells the whole sad story.

Quickstart

Add Military-Grade Attribution to your site in under 5 minutes. Your footer deserves this.

1. Add the widget

Drop in the Powerbottom widget with a single script. No API key required for basic labels.

<!-- Add the label container -->
<div id="powerbottom-label"
     data-company="YourCompany"
     data-link="https://yourcompany.com"
     data-show-meta="true"
     data-position="bottom-right"
     data-color="#3498db"
     data-size="small">
</div>

<!-- Include the Powerbottom SDK -->
<script src="https://powerbottom.vagibond.com/powerbottom-core.js" async></script>

2. Configure your label

Visit the Powerbottom Dashboard to customize your label, track analytics, and run A/B tests.

3. Monitor performance

Use the REST API to track impressions, clicks, and attribution ROI. Because someone is actually looking at your footer.

Authentication

The widget SDK works without authentication for basic labels. For analytics and advanced features:

curl https://api.powerbottom.vagibond.com/v1/labels \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer pb_live_your_api_key"

Rate Limits

We rate limit API requests to ensure 99.99999807% uptime for everyone. Our infrastructure team monitors label latency 24/7 from a bunker in Paris (Wisconsin). (But honestly, how fast are you updating footer text?)

Widget SDK

The Powerbottom Widget SDK provides a drop-in component that displays professional attribution labels with optional meta-labels (Powered by label is powered by Powerbottom).

Basic Embed

<!-- Minimal setup -->
<div id="powerbottom-label" data-company="YourCompany"></div>
<script src="https://powerbottom.vagibond.com/powerbottom-core.js"></script>

<!-- Or use the data attribute selector -->
<div data-powerbottom-widget data-company="YourCompany"></div>

Widget Configuration

Configure the widget using data attributes:

Positioning

Position labels anywhere on your page:

<!-- Fixed to bottom-right corner -->
<div id="powerbottom-label"
     data-company="YourCompany"
     data-position="bottom-right"></div>

<!-- Inline in footer -->
<footer>
  <div id="powerbottom-label"
       data-company="YourCompany"
       data-show-meta="false"></div>
</footer>

Theming

Match your brand colors:

<div id="powerbottom-label"
     data-company="YourCompany"
     data-color="#3498db"
     data-size="medium"></div>

Real-Time Analytics

Track every impression and click on your attribution labels. Heat maps show where users actually look. (Spoiler: Not the footer. Our data shows 94% of users never scroll past the fold. But the 6% who do? They deserve Military-Grade Attribution.)

// Track custom events
Powerbottom.track({
  labelId: 'lbl_a7e3f9c1d2b4',
  event: 'hover',
  metadata: {
    duration: 2847, // milliseconds
    scrollDepth: '100%'
  }
});

A/B Testing

Test different label copy, colors, and positions. Optimize for maximum brand exposure.

// Create A/B test
const test = await powerbottom.createTest({
  name: 'Brand name test',
  variants: [
    { company: 'CheatGPT', weight: 0.5 },
    { company: 'CheatGPT (formerly OpenBrand)', weight: 0.5 }
  ],
  goal: 'clicks'
});

Version Control

Every label change is versioned. Roll back to any previous configuration. Because mistakes happen (ask Sara about that).

# Get label version history
curl https://api.powerbottom.vagibond.com/v1/labels/lbl_a7e3f9c1d2b4/versions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer pb_live_your_api_key"

# Rollback to specific version
curl -X POST https://api.powerbottom.vagibond.com/v1/labels/lbl_a7e3f9c1d2b4/rollback \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer pb_live_your_api_key" \
  -d '{"version_id": "v_847a3b2c"}'

Webhooks

Get notified when labels are updated, when thresholds are reached, or when uptime drops below 99.99%.
