    Damn that widgetbucks.com At first I thought that , that site have future, but now I got an e-mail that my account is suspended for some fake clicks! WTF IS GOING ON, LOOKS LIKE THAT A$$HOLES ARE ONLY KEEPING LOW EARNERS, I was going on about ~$100 daily with my sites at widgetbucks but now I got msg that they have banned me!
    F$CK THEM HARD! I really see that they will go down and I will help them to go down.
    EVERYONE IF YOU ARE THINKING THAT YOU WILL HAVE HIGH EARNING THAN DON'T CHOOSE THOSE BASTARDS WIDGETA$$HOLES ! thEY WILL JUST BAN YOU AND KEEP YOUR EARNINGS!


    BEWARE OF THAT SCAMMERS!

    This is awful news - hope you manage to get something sorted CASXLV. Every thread I read about widgetbucks seems to be reporting some kind of problem - replacing earnings with lower ones etc etc.
    They are going to get a pretty awful reputation.

    You could try the affiliate programs because your site seems like it receives high traffic.

    No it is not, since the blog has a button with a referral link.

    But I'd say banning for an unjustified reason is equally bad as scamming. IMO giving "invalid clicks" as a reason for ban isn't good enough, especially when you're dealing with a large amount of money. I think it's a real shame that companies (Google included) are able to unfairly ban people without giving proof of the invalid clicks. Giving up your website's ad inventory to one service is a big deal, especially when you've ran them for a month (or more) and don't receive anything in return.

    Yeah, but if it is a large sum of money and there are invalid clicks, it would be unfair to the advertiser, put yourself in the advertisers positions and you lost 500 dollars in false advertising by some moron who has an autoclicker.
