    I think it couldn't display your revenue without the widget.

    Try to search from Jan 1 to Dec 1, could it display all your renevue?

    take a chill pill.

    and bryanw noted, the earnings are still being accounted for....but since their stats reporting sucks right now, if you delete the widget url, it doesn't know how to report the earnings. they have noted that issue and said a fix is coming soon.

    Don't talk such dribble. On their blog they mention an earnings reporting bug - there's probably some innocent explanation.

    Do you really think Mpire is going lose its reputation and business by not paying WidgetBucks publishers? No, me neither.

    Well I am starting to get a little disappointed with widgetbucks.

    I havent been able to login to my account for 2 days now. No email retrieval seems to work, and on all the sites that I have placed the widgets, none of them are working !!!!

    I havent heard back from them regarding the emails i have sent about why I can't log in.

    I don't like the look of where I think this might be heading - its as though my account simply doesn't exist with them anymore - along with my earnings !!!

    Widgetbucks is a godsend to me, my best results come from using it with other ad networks on the same site this decreases your overall ad publisher risk

    Do not use it on its own mix & match!, similarly do not use just adsense or just adbrite etc

    Wait till Mid Dec for first paid earnings - Big Company behind widgetbucks not a scam (imho) and i believe it is the next adsense
