Update: New notification bar with more customization is released. Have a look on it.
Hellobar is famous all around the world but it costs too much. Hello bar provides 25 free clicks per month. If you have good traffic then you will run out of clicks soon or you can upgrade to 100 clicks by paying $4.95 per month. They have some more plans with more clicks and money. I am not saying that hellobar is not good. That is awesome but only if you can spend money on it. If you do not want to spend money for hello bar then here is a notification bar that I coded. It is an excellent alternative to Hello bar and you can get unlimited clicks for free. Have a look on image at top for demo.
I know you may like notification bar that I am using on my blog at this time. If yes then keep calm I'll share that soon with you guys.
I made this notification bar by keeping Google policies in mind. The link at left side of notification bar is nofollow, so it’ll not hurt your blog or website’s ranking in Google search.
If you find any error or bug in it please let me know about that. One thing I forgot to tell you that it is coded with jQuery noconflict method, so if you have old code using some other version of jQuery then its fine. This will not conflict with that.
