    nope.

    a scam is when someone takes your money.

    widgetbucks scammed him because they took his money...those ads could have been of another company; and he could have saved his time [& adspace] and used pay-per-click with another advertisement company.

    But there's obviously something fishy going on. The majority of people that have been banned are ones that qualify for payment (that is over $50).

    so did they say why you were banned? is it just a simple email said: you are banned!!!!!!!

    Don't you really see guys that everyone is getting banned today for NO REASON!
    I haven't clicked on my own ads and have never done it on some network or asked someone to click they just don't want to pay out that's all!

    Yup, you can find the link on the footer of their official site.

    I thought they were being cheap but they must have their reasons why its on blogspot. I'm suspecting they did it as a safety net against Google nuking their own site.

    Contact them and ask them but I would suspect they are tracking their sign-ups via blogspot.

    Good point, but they could have put a better cloaker on like a redirect from another link to their homepage and track from there.

    They probably wouldn't have the sense to do something like that.
