    The people that made alot of money very quickly complained that Widgetbucks closed their accounts, but at the same time I don't know if these people cheated or not. The regular folks have been paid though.

    I'll wait to hear what kind of CPM rates they are paying on international traffic before I get excited.

    Well I just got this email as well, and though I will have a look in my widgetbucks account to see what its all about.

    Well guess what - my account has been suspended again !!!! WTF ???
    At least I got my last payment from them, but what have I done now to be suspended again ?? I haven't used any non-english language sites. Its all getting a bit silly with these knobheads - if I AM suspended, why would they send me an email with their latest news ???

    Lets just hope they do not run malware or spware within the international campaigns.

    LOL they aren't scammers, their program just doesn't seem to convert thats all. They make outlandish claims on clickthrough but you will not see anything close to it. Their referral for their own program seems rich enough though. Also they did pay out this month (first payout since startup).

    I am still assuming the program is legit, it's working very well for some people. For me the number of clicks absolutely hit the floor though when they started blocking international clicks. It was doing fine when I put it on a fairly low traffic blog (English language), a similar CTR to Adsense, but now the CTR has dropped to practically zero! Either people got bored of the widget, or there is something a little fishy about the tracking. I hardly think ALL my traffic was international!

    Widgetbucks International CPM Ads Q&A

    What kind of rates are you seeing across the board, and what are certain countries and regions seeing?

    Rates are definitely varying by country (and see the question below on non- or low-paying regions). Most countries are ranging between $0.25 and $0.80 CPM, depending on ad size. In general, the 468x60, 728x90, and 160x600 ad sizes yield higher than the 300x250, and much more than 120x600 or 250x250.

    It's not a lot but better than nothing. :)
