    WidgetBucks is just a faze that will go away after a while.

    CTR is BS
    Ads are god awful looking
    They perform badly, unless you are referring someone else to go there.

    Really they're more like a car wreck, interesting to gawk at but in the end they will only slow you down from getting where you want to go. Move along people nothing to see here.

    That explains it. WB's major troubles have been in support for non-US visitors.

    The latest round of changes have improved that support, by giving CPM ads to non-US visitors. You have to go back to the WB portal and re-copy the widget code to get that new feature.

    Their temporary trouble with supporting non-US visitors convinced me to remove WB for several weeks until they had a solution in place for them.

    WB is still not good for non-US traffic -- but I don't know what is better for you. AdSense doesn't support the Lithuanian language at all. :(

    SUBJECT: WidgetBucks Suspension - Invalid Account Details

    Dear WidgetBucks Publisher,

    After review of your account it has been determined that it will be suspended for
    violation of our terms of service.

    ================

    INDEED!!! Widgetbucks is a scam! I have valid and correct account details and they suspended account without reason!

    Take care!

    There were some people who signed up with incorrect country details. Did you do the same?

    Widgetbucks and Adsense are indeed both a CPC company, but they are totally unrelated on how they work!
    Is widget bucks the new adsense? I very highly doubt it. My referrals are the only thing that keeps me at the payout level, else with my CTR it would take ages for me to earn the minimum payout.

    To make it short: I voted for Adsense.

    If that's true, just contact support and get your account fixed.

    I definitely got paid by widgetbucks. I earned more in the month of October with widgetbucks than I have in the past 4 months combined with Adsense. Screenshots of my payment here.

    I just looked at the numbers for WB vs. AdSense in the same spot over the course of 15 days.

    AdSense beat WB for CTR by just a bit. WB had a CTR of .6 and AdSense had a CTR of .79.

    I am a strong advocate of running both systems.

    How exactly is it a scam? Did you violate their terms of service?
