How to Add a Stock Ticker to Your Web Page
Adding new content and features to a website keeps visitors coming back on a regular basis. Financial sites that offer information on the stock market can use a stock ticker to foster repeat visitors. The stock ticker provides new information every day, which gives traders a reason to return on a daily basis. Website owners can use an existing online script to add a stock ticker to a web page. They can then keep their visitors informed of changing prices and other daily information about the stock market.
