    I honestly believed in Widgetbucks, I liked their approach and fresh look in the ppc industry, however like others I think the rushed things and got a a bit ahead of themselves which has lead to many problems for publishers, the most important being payment, stats & lack of support.

    "So who has faith that Widgetbucks
    will deliver on all their promises?"​

    Me? Well I am today about to remove all banners and referral links from over 20 of my websites! It was a gamble for me and I am about to cash in my "time" chips and walk away with my tail between my legs. :eek:

    Sorry Widgetbucks I'm just no longer a believer.

    I don't have faith any more...

    I had, i got paid, i have faith that i will get paid again for november earnings, but after that...nothing...

    As they pay 0.003$/CPM for my country....they're dead to me!

    Like you said, they are rushing things abit, just give em a few months, their CPM are beginning to rise already. On the first day of their CPM was about 3c, now its averaging around 20c for me. It should get better soon, I know it's a big gamble. But, the higher the risk, the higher the gain, you can never succeed without trying.

    Well since one of my referrals is making over $700.00 a month widgetbucks is basically paying me sit sit around and daydream about snowflakes. I will stick with them, because:

    a) It requires zero effort on my part

    b) My numbers are continuing to climb

    I'm not certain why people are still apprehensive about WidgetBucks, they have been proven to payout. Those who have taken the time to properly implement it on their sites are making a killing. People are posting earnings proof left and right. If you are having a hard time with WidgetBucks, I would suggest that the problem is not necessarily with their service. Perhaps the service isn't appropriate for your niche, or you need to revise your marketing strategy. However, I can assure you, that when properly implemented WidgetBucks can be a very profitable adsense alternative.

    As for those who are getting banned "without any reason".. well I would like a closer look. Companies generally are not in the practice of banning their earners for no reason. Youknow?

    Well that certainly is a mature response. :rolleyes: Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

    Moving on.

    I will continue to evaluate WidgetBucks performance in my earnings portfolio, and make adjustments accordingly. Currently WidgetBucks is a highly profitable venture. These are the kind of things you learn when you decide to stop flaming people on message boards and get serious about your earnings.

    flaming ?? Nope, i am not...the MAIN point is a gentle reminder to ALL those WD members still interested in promoting WD ads....AND in the end dissappointed just like me in the first place...initally i do have HIGH hopes in widgetbucks...BUT not now...and yes i am MOVING on to others...why waste my precious time ?? anyway...it is upto the individual whether u want to carry on as publisher or not...Take some time to read other thread that is related to widgetbucks...there are too many NEGATIVE comments and thats make me for sure that my final decision of removing the WD ads is correct...personally i will not regret...

    OH, well, i dont have the free time just to flame people...u misunderstand what i am trying to say here...

    thats all...... ^_^

    Because they have not delivered, some still have not been payed.
    In your sig it says $3-$6 CPM, how can that be? I got like a few cents for 5k.

    From what I have read it is those that have massive amounts of traffic that
    get a decent payout but that would have been with any company why
    put up with all the pain that widgetbucks delivers?

    I agree as there is no "service". I have sent various emails over the last 2
    weeks to widgetbucks and pm'd the guy here but nothing. The ticket
    support system redirects to the sign up page :confused:
    Very substandard if you ask me. I don't see how hard it
    can be to have a website that works properly for its users.

    They paid me, and will pay me for Nov and Dec.
    I'm having $300/Month off of WB referrals but their internation CPM sucks and the CTR for US isn't that great either.
