    How much do widgetbucks pay publishers?
    Currently, I get about
    800~4000 visits a day and 0~5 clicks on advertisements.
    ---
    If anyone is with WidgetBucks,
    Can you guys tell me about average payment per click for you guys?

    Would you recommend this?

    For Flat Panel Television they pay pretty good per click, on average around $0.40 per click, sometimes lower and sometimes higher.

    well widgetbucks ads take 3-5 seconds to load..so it makes your site slow. CPM is very low & from 4000 visits you might get $0.5 to $1 or less than that..

    Slow widget load time is the main issue.
    Payment per click is pretty good at 20-40c on average (my experience), but CTR is low due to widget load problems.
    CPM sucks.
    Referral program, paying 15% now, is very generous if you can manage to refer a very big publisher.

    No, it's not. They count clicks from most countries now.
    The problem is that people aren't prepared to hang around for the 3-4 seconds it takes the widgets to load. An unloaded widget cannot be clicked.

    Yeh, that's why my 7000 UV's website only got 3 click even after my ad placement was quite good.

    Then anyone recommend a good PPC etc. company for me?
    I think I just got scammed by a another company. When I finally reached one dollar with 50k visits, they shut down the site.

    I heard WidgetBucks are ban-happy and they just ban u for no reason accusing you for fraud. My fiance got banned from the programme because of invalid clicks, even though he puts it on one site and he never clicked on the ads at all.

    I'm trying them out for a while now in two of my ad slots and seeing how it goes. It's only been a day, but I'll leave them in place for a month or two before I decide to go back to AdBrite, which was previously in those spots.

    hope theydont ban me, I dont fraud click.
    Except that the thing that gets in my way is the slow loading, and low PPC rate.
    (by hearing comments)

    I used widget bucks for a month the first add had a download virus to me a week to almost a week to figure it out. I put another ad from them,then I noticed that my views starting getting slighty less I assume because of the slow loading I have adbrite along with them and a text link ad from adsense. Page views went from 10,000 to sometimes down to 6,000. I took them off and started replacing them with adsense the views started getting back up there with yesterday 14,000 being the highest since april 5. April 2 when i started adding widget bucks.

    They have very slow loading ads and don't pay as the claim to. I have had friends who have told me they checked out something though my ad and I have never seen the clicks for it.

    I'm keeping it up until I reach payout, then it's going away. It's not worth the slow load time.

    I've used it for 2 months on a site that got around 10 unique visitors a day. One click per 2 days or something were made and I earned almost nothing... Not a great company in my opninion.
