Stay away from Widgetbucks!!!!!!

    I decided to give them a shot despite the negative reviews. I put more widgets as backups to my other cpm networks because I saw that their cpm rates were half way decent. I was slightly excited because I was drawing near to payout. I tried to log in today and a red sign comes up saying "my account is suspended". I didn't receive an email or anything. At least Google sends you something. This is bad business and I'm sorry for not heeding what everyone else was saying. Please learn from my mistake and stay far away from WidgetSucks!!!!!!!

    WOW! This is a change for me, my friend and his business partner just got $4k from them. What did you do to get suspended?

    I added more widgets to my site, but it didn't say in the TOS that I couldn't do that. They saw a sudden increase in my income and just kicked me out. This is just when I was going to reach payout. Fortunately, I didn't spend too much time with them. I'll just put the adsense back in.

    Did you email them or called them?

    I emailed them today. Their phone line just disconnects. You can't even leave a message.

    Not a good way to treat affiliates. They should learn this kind of treatment will kill their business in the long run and i'll stay away from widegetbucks with this informations. I saw a similar warning somewhere else on this site.
