    I had like $80 in my widgetbucks account, and every day they keep gradually taking away my income!

    Are you saying that your stats are changing after they turn black?

    Yes!

    $80 was confirmed and in black (not red), and now they have lowered it to $21

    That's very odd.

    My October earnings are rock steady at $1,446.24.

    Well I got rid of the merchsense and stuck with iPod - I figured after adjustment it should stay above the merchsense slack 9 cents. But I still think I'll get shafted - I am staying at 9% CTR and $33 cpm when it's in red and I will see the adjustment soon enough.

    Is this news to people that they have been changing the value of clicks here are my results from one ad spot for October. Obviously they have been making changes to the ads from the get go as you can see the values change steadily. If we only knew what the reason for the changes in value where we could make some decisions.

    Look at it its random....

    Im sticking with widgetbucks for now cause adsense pays jack!

    Even if adsense does pay jack, we at least have proof that it's willing to pay something... even if it is a penny.
    WB$ on the other hand is not gaurenteed

    It does look cool. What would make it even cooer is more customizable ads, like sizes.

    WidgetBucks is scam. Once you pass 500$ you get banned. Super offer. God damn it. I lost 1 month of revenue because of them. SO, here is the beginning of my ANTI WIDGETBUCKS Campaign. Who want's to join me? :D

    Dunno I have to email them and see what's going on - I better not be suspended ... log in issues, there's been a few of us and they just said on their Blog to contact them ...

    Oh and it's been like this for 14 hours or more - maybe 20 - widgets are still on my site and no email regarding a ban though, so I guess they're good signs.

    one interesting thing i've noted on my stats is that starting on November 3rd, my CTR has taken a nosedive, running 50% lower than the levels for the prior 3 weeks...no idea if that is related to the stats issues over the weekend or something else.

    Well yesty when it went down for like 12 hours - my stats were 50% down also - apparently the outage didn't make any difference though - but at least now my log in error page has changed to a different error page, so they must be working on internal config'.

    they may have cut their users down due to the massive loads of people that have recently joined
