    Iam 100% sure they are not scam, run on 100% gadget related websites/ websites you think the advertisers would get some sales then you will get paid for sure :)

    I noticed armorgames.com dropped them for some reason or other.
    Anyways, I am going to wait until mid-december before making any kind of real judge on them. If they pay me, they are good, if they don't, they are a scam. I've never been kicked out of any other affilaite program before so if they randomly decide to boot me for X reason, then I'll consider them a scam.

    That's exactly what I am doing - with great results. I am about to put up a sign though PLZ stop clicking.

    5% - 7% click through rate - it's kind of crap cos I'm to scared now to optimize my site as you normally do with banners and the like - the general rule is to configure the ad' for highest possible CTR. But I am to scared to do so now.

    Guys, I think you all should play knowing that we all very little on the web. Anything can happen online and you have to act accordingly.
    I have seen adsense account bomb clicked and then the clicker sent an email saying the site owner asked him to do so but he was not sure if it was legal. Guess what? The adsense account has been banned in no time. Anybody can do that to any site...
    My point is you should play as it can happen anytime. So get a B plan right now...

    Yup - this is like my plan C - I always have multiple campaigns and sites running, never really on one program.

    All this talk about WB and we decided to give it a try and run it on a few test sites. We do a lot of testing of advertisers and networks, so it should be interesting to see the results. :)

    I you read the first post - thenthat's the review.

    I have noticed the increase, may be dependant on many factors : your site may contain other slow loading material, your hosting/plan may be slow, script or scripting may be slow.

    I am still liking it and have been since I started about 9 days ago.

    Thank you so much for this long and informative review. I see that I don't have a chance on widgetbux anymore.

    I want to mention one more thing: someof their ads are giving script error on internet explorer 6 and 7. there is no problem on firefox, but in internet explorer, it says "page cannot be shown" when I put the codes, and when I remove them, everything works fine.

    $.28/click from widgetbucks (average for us) is far less than we make per click with google adsense. So far it's not looking real great. :(

    why dont you guys stop and think for a second

    a brand new company coming out?

    paying more than adsense? and you can just sign up and start doing it right away, no reviews of your site or anything, and on top of that, they'll give you 25 bucks.

    i mean, isnt this too good to be true?

    good review, i am staying away from them until 90% of the people in here do get pay on december.
