Is Widgetbucks a scam?

Hi,

I looked at forums and I saw lots of people who already quit from Widgetbucks. I want to learn that why people keep quiting from Widgetbucks?

If you are the one who already quit from Widgetbucks, can you write why you did quit from Widgetbucks?

Thanks for interest.

 

I have no idea if they're of a scam but I got my last payment.
It was kinda easy to earn from widgetbucks until they changed the International rates...I'm earning pennies a week now
I'll still give it a go for few more months, let's see how it goes.

 

I think Widgetbucks is practically useless to earn money from, unless you're from USA.

Another one would be ShoppingAds.

Just my $0.02

 

No, it's not a scam. People have been quitting because their payments dropped significantly over the last couple of months. In the beginning 30c clicks were common, but the average CPC dropped to only 1-2c last month. This month I'm seeing 22c per click (every click seems to be worth that). Hopefully that signals a recovery in their payment rates.

 

the reason i drop widgetbucks is because i get $0.02 for 7 clicks and $0.01 for 10,000 impression..... also they remove my earning.... and yes it is a scam because they dont show the statics in real time so that they can remove several clicks form your account and keep the money.... the only thing is that they do send there payment after 45 days.... so i only keep them for referral program... anyway dont waste your time over them... check out my signature link for other high paying networks....

 

Does it means Chitika is a scam too

 

Aye, I was thinking that was a very sweeping statement too.
Pervert-For-Life: Just because they don't report in real time doesn't mean they're a scam. What sort of a simpleton argument is that? They've never removed earnings from me, but I've been keeping to the rules - consider that.

 

I heard that they are not paying for clicks outside the US.

 

You heard right.
But they've announced that to all their publishers - it's no secret.

 

there's so many of these that don't pay for clicks outside of US....

 

WidgetBucks used to pay 0.50 / click. Now they're paying 0.01-0.03 per click.
You do the math

 

Nopes! Widgetbucks ain't a scam. The only thing is that they are paying only for clicks coming from US citizens.

 

Nope, it's not a scam. I have been paid by them

 

No they are not a scam. Yes they have their ups and downs about click prices. Only drawback is the stats are not in real time.

 

Most people have a problem with Widgetbucks because their reporting for daily revenue is not realtime. It usually lags a day or two which is not common for many users that are using Adsense for comparison. Personally I like the delay in information because I always find myself checking Adsense multiple times throughout the day.

22 cents per click is what I have been getting this month, there was a huge drop in the cpc rates and Widgetbucks acknowledged it. I can see that not accepting clicks from non-US visitors is a huge issue for some, but it is a solid cpc option if you have more than 50% US traffic.

my 2 cents.

 

how come you say they are not scam? do you know they remove my earning... also they remove my clicks secretly... hence proved wedgetbucks is a big scam....

 

they really pay every times, maybe only me got all times.
U can try to mail widgetbucks's support, they support good now.
they still try make CPC rate back normal rate.
just wait for high rate, 2008 widgetbucks is best ads company.

 

You know as well as I do (and everyone else reading) that the only reason they would remove clicks is if they suspected foul play. You're hardly going to admit to that, are you?

 

No only there international CPM sucks!!!!

 

In that case it is for US only then they should disallow International signup.
