Now plz help and tell me more about widgetbucks and now as google ban it so is it safe to join widgetbucks and show their ads with adsense ads ?

 

OMG are you sure you've already searched this forum ? There's about 30 threads here about it - from last week or earlier .... sorry bud.

 

Well Davids tripping over his own feet now - and his dropping ppls money like he has holes in his pockets.

 

Guys the main problem is remain same as you didnt told me that widgetbucks is banned or not and is it safe to use it with adsense ?

 

No it's not and never was.

Yes it's safe to use with adsense.

But is it really safe ? who knows.

 

Thanks thsadmin for your reply.
I am waiting for some more confirmation replies from users.

 

i have 0 luck with widgetbucks. no one clicks

 

I am the opposite - I want to put up a sign saying stop clicking and stay on my damn site, I loose to much with the more clicks I get - it's rediculous.

 

Widgetbucks is indexed now.Google isn't that evil

 

I will confirm what thsadmin said is correct. You can see for yourself in their official blog (http://widgetbucks.blogspot.com/) and in their FAQs (http://www.widgetbucks.com/faq.page)

Also plz tell me which on is better click rate, check delivery and other other good point ? 1: widgetbucks and 2: CPX In

 

They don't know seo very well.However they are indexed now,and they are on first page for "widget bucks"

 

They weren't indexed by google because they had problems with their site. They are now, so everyone can go back to their normal, non-conspiracy theorist ways.

 

That's only one of the conspiracy theories, now the others need answering or at least better comunication between WB and us webmasters - ie. The up and down CPM and CPC - and how they're managing them.

If we knew more we could be working towards better ROI and know what we're doing wrong / right.

Who do we target, what effects CPM and conversions, why do CPC vary from day to day ?

 

we must wait middle of december to learn truth....will see day pay or not...
tik tak widget tik tak ...

 

I don't understand why this seems such a mystery to people. The payout is based on the conversion rate of the visitors you send. That changes day to day - some days people will buy more than others. You get an estimated RPC initially and then after they analyze conversion rates you get a finalized payout. So RPC varies from day-to-day and site-to-site even for the same categories.

There's nothing really a publisher can do to influence conversions. That's up to the merchant's landing page. The most you can do is choose a category that might interest your website visitors. That can lead to higher CTR, though not necessarily higher conversion rate. I don't think it is particularly mysterious.

For me it is performing much better than Adsense on a couple of sites, and about the same on a couple others. I anticipate performance will decline as ad blindness sets in and people become less attracted to the flashy widget.

 

How do you know this ? It's a CPC program not PPP or Affilate site, I haven't read anywhere that states that WB is a Pay Per Performance.

It should be made clear though - I am not saying you're wrong - it should be made clear to publishers, even before we sign up and promote.

Mainly due to the fact : that we may aswell be selling for Amazon or performance realted sites instead - directly and not using another middle man.

 

Its nothing like that ... they will soon be ranking in the SERPS .. the expert from WB has already commented on this matter and claim that they (WB) were at fault.
