What are your Widgetbucks CPM?

    I'm curious because mine are mindblowingly bad. I mean, horrific. The only reason I'm running it on any sites is because I'm a few bucks from the $50 cashout.

    Here's what I've got - this works out to 14 cents per 1000 impressions. $0.14 CPM.

    Are they kidding? What is the point... they shouldn't even bother offering international. It is literally nothing. USA CPM is basically nothing, but at least less embarrassing than international.

    How are you guys doing?

    Yeah, my stats were similar. WB was paying nicely for CPC, but they kept switching my ads to CPM because they would pay better... yeah right. I think my stats dropped below even $0.14 cpm so I ditched the ads ASAP!

    Here is my thoughts. It is free money! Kind of like adsense. I make no money off of them, but google has to look at my site to determine what ads to place on it. It will have to recheck everytime I post, thus ranking me. The cost to me was nothing and the gain is ranking and possible money. Yea, it sucks that you don't rake in money hand over fist. so how about duplication. build another blog/site and put it on there too. As long as your content is relivent and good, your stats will go up and the people that do read it will keep comming back. Wigetbucks and adsense are not what I use to generate my income. It is what I use to generate my traffic. I do wish you the best of luck.

    Um, no. There's this thing called opportunity cost. If I'm running lame ads that pay $0.14 cpm when I could be getting $1.40 cpm somewhere else, I'm losing a lot of money.

    Exactly. They're taking space away from better performing ads, but I'm only cents away from cashout so I keep running them :mad:
