    just spotted this on the widgetbucks page ( copy/pasted )

    This post is a reminder that a few of WidgetBucks' Terms of Service points change today. This was originally blogged about on Jan. 3. We are discontinuing the $25 sign-up bonus on new accounts, so any publishers who have referenced the $25 bonus in custom links will need to change code. Those publishers using unmodified code and tools provided on the WidgetBucks Referral Tools page will NOT require a code update -- we're updating that code on our end within the next 24-48 hours.

    Also starting today, our referral structure for new accounts is moving from 10 to 5 percent. Again, this is only for accounts that are opened after today and does NOT impact existing accounts.

    ------------------------------------------------------


    another kick in the nuts for widgetbucks publishers

    Well it's common that they use high number and free money in the beginning.

    My main concern with widgetbucks is how damn slow the ads load

    Does anyone really make any money with widgetbucks? I took them off because i never made a penny. Not to mention, on my site their ads are pretty ugly.

    That's not true.

    The new code means that CPM ads are shown to all non-US/Canada traffic, but CPC ads are still displayed in those countries. Put another way - whereas traffic from anywhere apart from US/Canada used to earn nothing, it can now at least earn something CPM.

    And anyone with a WB account already will still continue to receive 10% referral earnings for 12 months for all new sign ups under them.
