WidgetBucks: E-Commerce Advertising Network

They say, they actually contextually analyze the content and show relevant ads (though I didn't see it much happening).

 

So these should not be shown on pages that also serve Google Adsense ads, am I correct?

 

No.
Google allows contextual networks but those should not show ads similar to adsense in look and feel. And widget bucks is nowhere near to adsense in look and feel.

 

has anyone tried it so they had got eCPM for a day or two??

 

This looks amazing. I don't like adsense anymore, because it has become too ubiquitous on every information website out there. Has anyone gotten good results from Widgetbucks?

 

Its about 50/50 some it really works well with, while others complain. I myself have been doing pretty well with it. I have written a few reviews on my blog and I am making over $10 eCPM so I say give it a try.

 

Which category are you using on your site then?? I guess there are difference between the CPC on what you chose... just signed up and first click generated $0.0 - hehe

 

Mmmm I see the only flaw being that - everyone is going to jump on the expensive products in the hope and expectations of gaining a higher CPC and for obvious reasons they will pay more because of the price to purchase and publisher profit for the sales.

Maybe they need to encourage the sales/promotions of low end products some how - for instance introducing a CPM for them or measuring webmasters traffic via quality.

I am going to have a crack at the low end - like CDs and Movies just for variation and response rates from surfers.

 

today statistic: 1,170 20 1.71% $0.00 $0.00

dont know if there is something wrong or they just are good business people!

 

I had the same situation some days ago on one ad, and finally the clicks and the revenue showed. It must be some kind of audition or bug.

 

hmmm.. I just added widgetbuck in my arcade game site. I want to confirm its not against adsense TOS.

Flash games

The widgetbuck ad will not be considered as an Image near to adsense ad, I believe. Please review and let me know soon. If its against their TOS, I need to remove anyone of them as soon as possible :-(

Thanks in advance.

 

It looks good to me.

 

Think it is fine... cant see these ads is against TOS - anyone contacted google? dont think the stories about people getting banned for these ads can be right!! It is just a banner which should be allowed!

 

Yes. I contacted google around 3 days back and got the confirmation that is is ok to run Widget Bucks ads with google.

 

This program is big. It hasn't been online for long, but it's a very quickly growing program. The viral rate on this is enormous as it seems it already has over 2,000,000 publishers I think by looking at the referral id numbers.

It seems everyone is promoting it.

 

Geez is that a good a thing ? I really hope that they're converting sales and making money, would hate to see a program that has (this much) potential to go flop.

I wonder what the impact has been on the electrical goods market in general, all these people promoting electrical goods and such would have to be generating sales for someone.

Wonder if eBay will be feeling the heat ? as they have a similar widget.

 

Thanks Jim.

This was #1 on my list.

I havent served any ads yet but got the initial call and got the account approved. I am encouraged by what I am reading here.

 

Here is the news from their blog. Glad to see them taking care of all the clickfraud and that they have a system in place.

 

I dont think there are quite that many yet, I was one of the first 5000 to sign up and somehow my referral id is 254004

 

lol how do u know you were in the first 5000 to signup?

i hope this company lasts as its doing great for me on many of my sites.
