There are currently plans for Widgetbucks ads to go international! Read up on Widgetbucks.com going international here This is great news. Now let's just wait to see if they pay up in December (I personally think they will--but I removed the ads 2 weeks ago. I'd rather be safe than sorry).
Yes, the international ads will be CPM only. I received that mail too, and honestly I can't wait to receive my first payment because yes, I removed their ads temporarily too. It seems to me that many people left their program and now they are trying to get them back. I am curious to see how their CPM ads perform, if they will be between $3-$6 per thousand impressions, as advertised.
Yep--It's a great move. I foresee a lot of ad agencies probably going to start taking this approach (super geo ads).
I hope they will be a force for Google to reckon with. In such a way there won't be monopolization of the Ads industry which is quite bad with a player controlling most of the adverts
Widgetbucks alone won't be a threat to Google. I expect a group of ad agencies to be a threat... localized ad agencies taking over markets over the world. If you really think about it, it's exactly what the internet needs (thinking outside of the united states/uk--these markets are already SO saturated, the money is no longer within these markets for newcommers. hard to explain. I will probably make a blog post about it in 2008 once things simmer down).
It is a great move. They decided to process payments ahead of their payment schedule 15t December. It is a wise decision because nowadays people keeping calling they are a scam. Payments will be the best proof. I am glad that they still care for international publishers and offer to pay CPM ads for international traffic.
I will still wait for first payment and then move ahead with them as they show high cpm in red but when it comes in real stats it's like other ad networks so be watchful
I used widget for a few days.I creeated 170.000 impressions and they tracked 0 click.I think I wont use it again for a time
