Widget Bucks Hits over 30,000 Publishers in one months

widget bucks is PPC (price per click) program. Firstly i think it is a scam because people flaming widget bucks in forums as a scam. This is not uncommon for new programs out there. It is Started in early October and it Hits over 30,000 Publishers in one months. the first payments for widget bucks will be sent out mid December. After those first checks are cut this will clam many of the people out there saying it is a scam. After all they are the makers of Mpire. It’s not like this company just came to be they have been in the market for several years. Since the launch of the new widget bucks program thye have done extensive code modifications and updates. This does not sound like a fly by night company but more like a company that wants to build a solid base.
widget bucks already hits 30,000 publishers in just one month. With over 200 million impresions in just the first month I think it’s safe to say WidgetBucks is here to stay. Already widget bucks has added several categories new categories that publishers can choose from. For my blogs this is great because now I can use the Widget for Mobile Phones. up coming categories include sports, fashion, teens and top brands. Over the course of time widget bucks will have a much larger and wider category devision that publishers will be able to take advantage of. I think this shows the demand is there for another publisher of this kind in the market place. Many people do not want to place all their eggs in one basket and widget bucks helps to diversify their accounts.
WidgetBucks will be serving CPM (cost-per-thousand impressions) ads within its widgets so publishers can monetize their international traffic. This solution helps publishers with blended traffic from both U.S./Canada and international geographies, and addresses the concern expressed over our recent policy change to not pay on international clicks. Earnings from this update -- which takes place in early December -- will be reflected on publishers' MyWidgets reporting page in a new column to be titled "CPM Revenue."
But i also heared that so many don’t like widget bucks because widget bucks widget seems to load slow: I’ve heard this from many different people. The fact is yes when widget bucks was first launched it was a little slow. But now publishers that are using widgets saying that now is is faster
and second thing is that everyone is asking a same question Has anyone been paid yet?: This question I see all over. The answer is no, Because The program just launched in early OCT so know one will see a check until mid December, 45 days after the end of the first month you reach 50 dollars or more.

All in all only you can decide if widget bucks is right for your site. I am applying for widget bucks widget and i will post review after 10-15 days

Yes, there is no limit to how many you can place on your site.

Can I run WidgetBucks with Google AdSense?

Yes, WidgetBucks is compatible with all other ad systems.

Can I post a widget to my blog or publishing platform?

In many cases, a blogging/publishing platform will not allow the user to directly edit/enter HTML directly and/or there are restrictions on including javascript within a post. In these cases, you will not be able to place a widget in a post, but you may be able to add the widget to the sidebar. Sidebars are provided by nearly all blogging/publishing platforms, and they typically support HTML/Javascript. For example, WordPress does not allow certain types of accounts to add Javascript. Blogspot and Typepad are examples of platforms that allow you to place the widget code directly in a blog post and/or in the sidebar. Widgetbucks currently has direct integration with Blogger and Typepad to add the widget directly to a sidebar. You can also copy/paste the HTML code directly into a blog post on these platforms. Wordpress is also a very popular blogging platform, but has some specific WorldPress steps that must be followed to support javascript within your post. As a rule, if your platform allows you to directly edit HTML, you should be able to post a widget.

How frequently do my Impressions, Clicks, and Revenue statistics update?

Impression and click counts are updated hourly. Revenue reporting occurs within 72 hours. At the bottom of the My Widgets report view we state how current the revenue reporting is. After a couple of days of revenue information, you can calculate a rough estimate of how much your site is earning.

Can I put WidgetBucks on my site if I'm not based in the US?

Yes, as long as the site meets the terms of service. Please be aware that our terms of service does not allow non-english sites without prior written consent. Widgetbucks can be placed on any site that has traffic. Because all of the products are from US based merchants and are in US dollars, the likelihood of click conversion is greater for a US targeted audience, but you can still use WidgetBucks on Non-U.S. based sites.

Does it matter what type of site I have to use Widgetbucks?

As long as the site meets the terms of service, you can use ads on any kind of site or pages you are looking to monetize. We've seen our shopping widgets be effective on specific product blogs, entertainment sites, or even local search engines. Try out a few different widgets and see what works best for your customers, but regardless, you'll be making money! We have noticed that well-placed, contextual WidgetBucks ads can yield over very high eCPM, in many cases over $6 eCPM. Location of the ad is important - this is not a CPM ad, so it needs to be "above the fold" and if you are selecting a specific content category, be sure it applies to your site content. Otherwise, use the MerchSense option and it will snap content to your page automatically based on page content and demographics. Sites that are pornographic in nature, non-english sites, and/or ad-only sites are examples of sites that are not allowed by the Terms of Service.
