Everyone please post your review of widgetbucks so far. If you're a publisher please share your experience. How much are you making per click? Per 1000 impressions what are you expected to get paid?

On the whole, moderately satisfied with WidgetBucks - will be even more satisfied once paid. One thing they did do which got on my nerves was reduce my referral earnings after they had apparently been 'confirmed' by going black. In the case of bad clicks they should be penalising my referrals before the money lands in my account - why should they take away from me when I've done nothing wrong? Lets see how their first payout goes before I comment further.
Widgetbucks came from a very successful company mpire.com who have alot of investors behind it. I'd doubt a company such as mpire.com will risk its reputation by creating a fraudulent company and creating a controversial company only to offload it at the first hurdle.
Can anyone give me some numbers for widgetbucks? i.e. how much money for how much traffic and whether it is views or clicks? I'm really confused about this site now.
This depends on the niche, chompy. And up until now, they were only paying for clicks from American and Canadian users. I've just received an email from them stating that they will pay for the impressions of International traffic also, and I am really curious to see how much, myself.
Well that's good. My site is nowhere near as popular in the US as in Japan and Thailand (bizarrely, since it's an english language site)
