Is Widgetbucks screwing us with CPM ? Tested with 200000 Impressions !

    Hi,
    I am not a big fan of widgetbucks. But i decided to test them before passing any judgement on them. I ran their CPM on my site for a week to test it. I had good results for the first few days, but for 27th and 28th of this month i gave them a total of 200000 CPM Impressions (thats a lot :mad: ) and the CPM revenue is 0.00 $ How is that possible ? I can see the ads on my page, i can see them from other computers and even through proxies. So where is my money ??

    According to them it takes 2 days to update the stats. I checked the 27th stats on 29th and waited till 1st to see if there are any changes before making this post

    They haven't updated any stats since 28 Dec 07. Their reporting sucks.
    Don't expect to see anything change for a couple more days.

    I know their reporting sucks and is delayed, But according to their report system we will not be able to see the stats for the days for which report is not yet generated. For example i am not able to check stats for 29th, but i am able to see stats for 28th (Both CPC & CPM) - which means they have updated their stats for 28th. So that also means that they have not credited any money for the impressions i send them on 27th and 28th...

    Sounds like they are using the delay in updates to skew the results. Definitely something to watch.

    Read the newest news post in your account. It says that they had a problem and the click and view stats should be up to date in 24-48 hours. They say that the CPM earnings will take a little longer to bring up to date.
