Widgetbucks Scam - Post your rants on this blog

I am just as p*ssed off as many others in here regarding Widgetsucks who seem to be taking us all for a ride - banning accounts and retaining the earnings.

I just set up a blog here where you can post your rants and share your experiences with them.

Alex

Yes. I lost around 2000$ today cause they suspend my account. I start to use them from oct-10 , so it for 1 month. They just ban my account !
If I know they are scammer before I will replace my ads place to other ads network and get atleast 1000$.

That's bad from a advertiser who was expected to give some tough competition to Google's Adsense

I tried them on just one page of my website. I don't get any traffic anyway...so it doesn't really matter for me. I am sorry for those of you who really racked up some earnings from them.

Before I heard all of this though...I was thinking...Widgetbucks widgets are shopping widgets only. Visitors to your websites are only going to click on WB ads if they are in the market to purchase something whereas Google ads are mixed and matched with sites containing information. So not only can visitors shop if they feel like it, but they can also get referrals to informative websites too.

The other thing with WB is that their content ads suck. The name of my site is WeblogBlender. It's a site about blogging....WB ads were displaying blenders. Yeah. They suck, there are waaaaaaaay better ad networks out there. We don't need WB.

100% they are Identity Theft Stealing company

Watch out! You will never see any earnings, they will close your account before you earn anything. If you had any business with them, you should check who's using your SSN right now. Maybe some Mexican guy who went in the states yesterday ? 100% scam - don't even try, I have all evidence for the court.

Also don't forget to report them on ripoffreport

Hmm - doesn't sound good. And I'd been led to believe they were a pretty honorable, respected company. Shows that it's worth keeping an eye on developments - I NEED to with my site! So thanks for the info guys.

But - weren't widgetbucks OK at first???
