Widgetbucks Ban Count

[sachin410]

It seems many people got banned from Widgetbucks.

I just want to check what is the ratio of payments to bans.

Please vote. (it is a public poll).

[CASXLV]

Count me in! $1400 lost for them

[Agent_Dweeb]

You won't get paid by December I believe?

[CASXLV]

I believe that no-one won't get paid by them!

[sachin410]

You won't get paid by December I believe?

the poll will be open then too. :p.

my main interest is to see how many got banned actually.

[Agent_Dweeb]

On their blog, lots of people have complained about being banned, so it seems like a common problem now.

[alex00x]

ban here too ...

[sundaybrew]

Seems there are many people that got banned today,

Seems they must be doing a "mass ban" or something along those lines......

[Agent_Dweeb]

Have you been banned?

[sundaybrew]

I have not been banned no, I actually decided NOT to try them after all the crap I have heard lately

[yoginger]

i am also banned...and the reason was putting ads on site with no content!!lol...OMG whats content anyway?

[Agent_Dweeb]

Like proper valuable content which users want.

It's not a fair ratio to look at.
WidgetBucks make no secret of the fact that no-one will be paid until the middle of December.

If you can add an option - "Suspended by then reinstated minus all your widgets and earnings", then I will be able to vote that one.

WTS Ddos 400$ : )

Widgetbucks is a fraud and it sucks!

[maxtor80]

Really scam, my acc got suspended too

[thsadmin]

Still kicking here and account has been updated with last months earnings and affiliate earnings have been added.

[Archbob]

They suspended my account a few days ago but my earnings and referral earnings have just now magically appeared under "My Bucks", go figure. Are they going to unsuspend me now?

[thsadmin]

Well that's alright archbob I hope you get paid, see all these ppl jump to conclusions, they're new and it's always a risk, if you're not prepared to take a risk and loose some $$$ then wait it out until next year when they're proven.

[Archbob]

Yes, we take a risk, but if we end up losing all your earnings, sure we lose, but it also means they are a scam.

Non-scams are people who actually pay me - unlike widgetbucks.

[indy2kro]

Got banned as well, lost $500 and 7 referrals ... of course got payed by Adsense for about 2 years without any problems. So GG WB :|

[msmp3]

I had also ~600$ on October and ~500$ for this month - November...

I have signed-up with the site, they reviewed and approved it and nothing was wrong... But today I have received an e-mail stating that my site is NON-ENGLISH so they suspended my account.

I mention that when I have signed-up there was nothing in their Terms & Policies to specificy that NON-ENGLISH sites are not allowed. They have modified and added this item one week ago I think... And I haven't received any warning or something like that.

We should do something really quick because Widgetbucks will earn very very much money from us.
Just think about this... If we let this happen anyone can start their own site and claim they are an ad agency, offer a big CPC and in the end suspend most of the accounts... What do you think about this?

[MarcL]

In my point of view, widget bucks waits untill you get close to payout and then suspends you. Then take the profit and run.
They probally make so much money from doing this...

[jones_pr]

fun but sadly, I spotted widgetbucks as a scam thing 15 days ago..

http://digg.com/gadgets/Make_Money_with_WidgetBucks

as you can see by my comment. And widgetbucks did respond on digg :)

[pozer]

I got banned for click fraud. But I removed ads from my site 3 weeks ago, all I had was >20 referrals and earned a few bucks from them. Maybe they banned me because one of my referrals clicked on its own ad :)

[CountryBoy]

And widgetbucks did respond on digg :)

If that's a reply from the real WidgetBucks then I'm Elvis Presley.

[Panjabi]

The ratio of paid : banned will be - 0 : 1000

[dotcompals]

I check my account everyday. It was nearing $100 yesterday. Today I got this http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showpost.php?p=5186210&postcount=247

[msmp3]

another close friend of mine just received the suspension e-mail... this is so baddd...

[Archbob]

Has anyone that has gotten suspended can still log into their account and have their earnings appear under "my bucks", or am I the only one?

[msmp3]

no, I can't login to my suspended account.... :(

[Archbob]

Maybe they just sent me a suspension e-mail and didn't really suspend me or something. LOL

By the ways, the 3 that said they've gotten paid are lying, no one has gotten paid yet, its not scheduled until Dec 15th.

[msmp3]

Maybe you've only got a warning.

[IngaOz]

I am not banned yet, but then again - I didn't earn single cent there yet... Do they gives you reason when ban you?

[Archbob]

Yes, "Pornographic content". Too bad my site is a flash games site and contains the same content as all other flash game sites.

[IngaOz]

Yes, "Pornographic content". Too bad my site is a flash games site and contains the same content as all other flash game sites.

Oh I am so sorry for u :(
But then I know that they will ban me too, one of my blogs contain so called lolzpics and time to time there are some pics which they can call pornographic if they says that flash game site contains pornography. Now I will just wait LOL.

[noxious]

Can't vote on this one yet since i'm still using them on one site (my widgetsucks blog :p) but i wouldn't be surprised if i wake up with my account banned.

[jeremynet]

I got suspended and no porno site in my website. What's wrong??

[thsadmin]

Is that joint still alive .... I tried it with a lot of US visitors .... earned $2 - $5 per day .... changed to Adsense and my earnings went to $30 - $50 per day .... go figure ....

Oh and way to bump an old thread ....

[jeremynet]
