    I got this mail from WidgetBucks today :

    One of the concerns we’ve heard from many of you has been the slow loading times of our widgets. We really appreciate your feedback and comments in helping us improve in this area. So, today we addressed this issue by rolling out new code that ultimately delivers faster loading widgets.

    It is very important to note that this update will require action on your part. You will need to update code of your existing widgets for the speedier load times to take affect on your site, blog or network. Know that changing the code will not impact earnings for any of your widgets.

    Here are the two steps you’ll need to follow:

    1. Sign-in to http://widgetbucks.com and go to My Widgets
    2. For each active widget, simply edit and re-copy the code block into your site or blog (the same steps you went through when you created the widgets originally)

    Another option for updating code is to utilize the new categories and ad sizes we’ve incorporated over the last few weeks. Modifying a widget’s size or category — or creating an entirely new widget for that matter — will generate the new code that can then be re-copied to your site or blog.

    Also, if you have questions specific to your WidgetBucks account, email us at help [at] widgetbucks [dot] com. We will do our best to back to you within 24 hours. If you have a general comment or need something clarified that can help you and perhaps other publishers, feel free to post a comment on this blog.

    Thanks again for using WidgetBucks.

    Woohoo! That was one of my main concerns. This should benefit both us and them as we will actually get more impressions and better click-thru (since people won't click if it's in they've already passed the part of the page before it loaded)

    Next on the wishlist is to expand categories (and be able to select certain products).

    I was just about to make a thread about the same thing! Lucky I searched!

    This is a great update - will definitely result in more clicks.

    It's a lie, plain and simple.

    They got slapped down by google in the SERP's because of the hidden link code in the widgets, now they are trying to remove the penalty.

    Take a look over the DP forums... it's everywhere lol.
