    Just read on the WidgetBucks blog that they will stop issuing the $25 signup bonus on new accounts as of January 15.

    I was about to make a similar thread, just now :p In my opinion, they are slowly loosing their members with such measures. If they didn't make a profit after all this time, they should have been bankrupt. So they did make a profit, the problem is that they are greedy and want more.

    How is it greedy that widgetbuckets decide to no longer give out free $25 of their OWN money? :rolleyes: They even give non-members a chance to still recieve the $25 into a wb account if they just sign up before the 15th.

    They are also reducing the referral earnings from 10% to 5%. That's what I consider greedy.

    Yeah, I wasn't too rapt with the referral % dropping, but still, 5% is better than nothing I guess.

    Yes, $25 sounds nice, but not for long unfortunately. As an affiliate you had an advantage when you advertised a network that offered $25 free, but now I guess they're no different from the rest.

    yes bad and lazy management.... and they use dirty tricks to make some extra money out of publishers.... thats why they dont show the stats in real time... also now there click rates are drop to $0.05 and now i have hard time earning from them... also i think the reason why they pay after 45 days is because to make publishers stick with them... because in 45 days you will earn something... and so you will not like to leave your earning just like that...
