WidgetBucks is looking like a decent adsense replacement

    I'm not sure it would work in all niches, but WidgetBucks is starting to look like it could be a viable adsense alternative (or complimentary program). The stats are just starting to come in from the first couple of days but average CPC is quite encouraging.

    I have seen many people saying widgetbucks is good without having any proof about their payment methods.

    1) Do you know how they are going to pay you?
    2) Do you know a place where you can see your payment data? Like paypal id or Direct deposit etc?

    Overall, Money in your widgetbucks account doesnt mean they will actually payout. I hope its a legitimate company and they do payout.

    However isnt it too early to declare Widgetbucks can replace Adsense? Its like saying YPN will go international in 2010. I bet they wont even come out of beta. Maybe YPN should try going into Alpha :D

    I donno if they pay or not .. $25 bonus is too good to believe. 1000 publishers $25 each == $25000 .. high amount .. where they need to earn that amount from their publishers ...

    I strongly hope that they pay .. We all will be happy..

    However they have PP payouts I think.

    I did say 'looking like'. I meant if things kept going along in the current fashion, widgetbucks looks very promising.
    In terms of payment, they appear to payout via paypal or check. I've opted for paypal. I guess we'll wait and see in terms of payouts. Fingers crossed though.

    I registered 2 days ago but still cant see my $25 bonus? Where? What?

    The stats are good though. I was getting like 0.70 per click. Far better than adsense 0.10 or 0.20

    I'd like to watch it for couple of month or untill some one report about their payment.
    0.7 cents per click is good enough.

    Thats good to hear, cos my one gripe was their stats, and timeliness of reporting.

    Not contextual, really you update your widget boxes from a user interface after they are posted to your sites. You have the option to either have them crawl your sites for relevant products or you can narrow down the box to a particular group of products.
