Each application has its own page, like this one for Salesforce.com. When data is available, each page displays generic information about the application and its logo, user-generated star rating powered by WP-PostRatings, recent news fetched from the application’s blog using Magpie RSS, Alexa chart courtesy of alexaholic, and Technorati chart.

Still, the effort itself makes an assumption that there is material value in Office 2.0 companies getting free traffic. I wonder—we'll see. There are few successes with the "fremium" model. Many more in the "free trial" model. Even eFax gets less than 10% of its customers from its free variant, and it has 11,000,000 live free fax numbers...
