    earliest payment will be mid-december to my knowledge. 45 days after you sign up, as long as you have a minimum of $50. :)

    OMG
    What's happen on that setting page ...
    Country just only Canada and U.S ....
    Why they change that setting...
    Do you really think you can retroactively apply rules?

    So they tricked us to join them, serve freely ads for them and then change their mind? I'm really starting to believe that they are scammers

    I don't really care if I cannot select my country, because I will be paid by PayPal. It doesn't matter if I choose US or Canada, I can be still paid (if they really pay and if they don't detect ip location).

    Not another "bash WidgetBucks" thread?
    They're new, they're just finding their feet so of course they're going to tweak things about a bit. And it's hardly surprising, with the lure of 30 cent clicks and $25 sign up, that a lot of people have been banned for trying to rip the system.
    I'm sure they'll pay everyone who has kept to the rules.
    And anyone who still hasn't signed up check my sig! :D

    How can they pay me if my country disappeared from the list? And yes, I obey the rules and I'm still officially in the program. I removed all widgets from my site though

    Dear WidgetBucks Publisher,



    As a valuable business partner of WidgetBucks, we wanted to get in touch with you regarding a recent concern.



    As you may have noticed over the last few days, there has been some erosion of Revenue-Per-Click rates (RPCs) in some categories -- and getting those RPC numbers back up is top priority for us right now.



    We're finding the key issue is network quality. You know, as do we, that network quality affects lead value to merchants. If conversion-to-sale decreases, it affects the RPCs merchants are willing to pay. This is exactly what we're seeing with WidgetBucks.



    We wanted to make sure you were looped in to our plans to restore RPCs, which we anticipate will be recovering over the next seven days:



    First, we're going to continue a significant amount of account suspensions in cases where the Terms of Use are being violated, such as for Click Fraud, Ad-Only Pages, and Non-English Sites.



    Second, we are no longer charging merchants for international traffic, that is, users coming from outside of the U.S. and Canada. As a result, international click traffic will be redirected to non-paid pages, specifically www.mpire.com. Therefore no publisher credit will be given for those clicks, starting mid-November.



    Third, we are beginning to gate subscriber registrations – in other words, every new account registered will require approval prior to placing our ads.


    For more details, we've also published a formal/public post on Network Quality and RPCs on the WidgetBucks blog . Again, it should be a week or less before the RPCs are recovered.



    Thanks for your understanding around this crucial issue, and for your patience as we solve it. We appreciate your continued work with us.

    I wondered why my payments went down, though $xxx a day from US traffic is still good enough for me.

    Give them some time, I am also hoping for a good adsense alternative. This is too fast to judge them.

    Wise words, in keeping with your username.
    I still have complete faith in them - I suggest people refrain from passing judgement until they pay out.

    so US canada traffic 7 clicks pays..... and we need not belong to those country but traffic should be from that country.............

    I think what ever we see in our widgetbucks report what ever clicks we see all would/must have been from US Canada else they don't show as click if click is from international traffic...as international traffic/clicks don't count

    Also current earnings-what we have earned will remain Intact
