    So they are listening.

    Did you get that too?

    Hehe great minds huh ? LoL.... I haven't tried them yet.

    When I'm not so busy I will throw these in though. A lot of work for me though to update each one manually.

    Oh my god. Thats perfectly true.
    Yes. That is the reason. What they changed is not the javascript or other code. But just removed that hidden link.

    This is not good at all

    johnchow.com had made a post about WidgetBucks getting slapped before I got the email from them...

    I had a feeling they were lying and just trying to cover up the hidden link issue.

    True. Code change is not related to loading faster. Because the scripts are still the same. What they changed is from "hidden link" to a "regular text".

    Which surely not gonna make the widget download faster.

    This is the first time I felt really bad about being an widget bucks affiliate and promoting them. :( Bad Widget Bucks.

    This could get us banned as well since these hidden links were placed on our sites.
