    We have only to wait, and then we will know the truth.

    Hope the best luck to the people who are serving their ads.

    I got my account suspended as soon as the $ came close to $100. When I asked for a reason, they replied that, my account was suspended because it is found that "invalid clicks" are being generated. !

    6. The are lot of cases, when WidgetBucks decrease real Payment for click e.g. from 27 to 9 centes.
    7. About refferal statistics. Looks like they show reduced value of profit of refferals, reducing refferal payments in such way.

    looks like the tide is turning - in the beginning, there was lots of rave about widgetbucks.

    I saw all of this coming.. I feel sorry for those that put a lot of energy to earn from Widgetbucks, only to be suspended later on. If their new country policy is true they'll be in even bigger trouble because a huge number of publishers are probably located outside the us/canada.

    LMAO to those who are spending money on adwords.not only you are risking money from the ad spot,your risking money out of your pocket.
    they are not trustworthly just on the fact they are new.

    to tell you the truth,i hope they keep banning people or don't pay.
    i don't know about you,but i rather not have every website have flash ads.

    They responded on their blog about NON-US/CANADA publishers...

    However i removed their ads from my site.
    I have earned 1800$... and seems my conversions are dropping...as the rpc is not increasing after audit, as it used to have...now it's decreasing...
    So i can't risk get suspended.. so i'll wait first to be paid... after that i may readd their banners on my site...
