    Can I run WidgetBucks with Google AdSense on the same page? Is it OK with their TOS? WidgetBucks pays well? :)

    1) Yes, you can run WidgetBucks with Adsense
    2) No, WidgetBucks sucks (in my experience) .. but you should still try it on your site to see how it performs for you

    Randy - What if most of your traffic is from the US? Will it make a difference in terms of making $$?

    onLoad, it depends on your niche. You really have to try it to get any sort of worthwhile idea of what to do.

    You can run WidgetBucks with Adsense no problem :) Some publishers also prefer kontera.com.

    99% of my traffic is from the US, and widgetbucks still did not perform for me.. it really depends more on your niche and what your visitors are looking for. and like KC Tan said, Kontera works well too.. Kontera earns almost as good as Adsense on my site, and on some days even more.

    But (I think) Kontera is for sites with a lot of traffic? Is there a particular amount of traffic required to join Kontera?

    I asked this; because all my sites jointly receive 2500 Adsense impressions only. :)

    in the past they had strict minimum traffic requirements, but they have eased up on this, or removed the restriction altogether.

    give it a try.. the worst that will happen is you'll spend 2 minutes filling out the application form, and they'll say 'no' ..

    Kontera will accept just about anyone.

    Yes you can use widget bucks and adsense on the same site and page. I personally like Widget bucks but I only use it on very niche sites that are product related. Some of my product based sites it performed very poorly and I removed it on others it's doing better then adsense. So just track your performance and change the ad placement around.

    I think widgetbucks would be great for a blog for a physical product, its hard to use them for a service though.

    That means there is NO alternative to Adsense?

    it's okay to have them on the same page. Widgetbuck slows the page loading down though. but the paying rate is better than other alternative to adsense but not comparable to adsense.
