    guys i am really ashamed of referring some people to widget bucks.i referred more than 15 people to widget bucks and they sent me a mail today."account suspended due to fraudulent activities".i don't know what they mean by fraudulent activity.i have never used to click its ads or had done any thing violating the terms of widget bucks.The reason is simple;"i have earned around 370$ from it.SO they simply canceled my account.sorry to all guys i referred to widget bucks.Forgive me guys.

    I have always been very suspicious of this widgetbucks thing...Let's see if the remaining publishers (the very few who haven't been banned or not seen a huge decrease in their earnings) will get paid on December 15th as promised.
    As far I am concerned I just stay away from it, for now.

    This is why I removed them from my pages and used some other ads

    i keep seeing threads like this pop up and im almost encouraged to blog about it but there has to be something your not telling us. could it be that all the people trying to cheat the system are getting caught? or is WB really going out and cheating people out of hard earned money? hard to tell.

    First payments aren't due out until mid December.
    Well, I'm still okay - not earning a fortune but things are ticking along nicely with a few dollars a day. I'm happy with that, given that their ads fill a void on my pages.

    If anyone's interested in trying I'm still promoting it - check my sig!

    Point to note: New accounts now need to be approved. Non-US publishers still welcome!

    I'm not ready to call them a scam yet, but over-rated for sure. I've made a total of something like $.75 (yes, that's seventy five cents) that is if you don't include the $25 sign up bonus.

    I noticed something strange today though, there no longer seems to be a spot on my reports for referrals. There used to be a red line at the bottom for referrals (not that I have any). Has anybody else noticed this part of the report missing, or is it just me?
