    I don't think they will PPC so much in the future or they will reach the bankruptcy soon.

    How are the ads like - similar to adsense format or something different?

    i placed one 468x60 size banner above the fold on my high-traffic site (160-180k uniques/day)

    if widgetbucks does pay then it's easy to get $5k/day if i replace all adsense and adbrite ads with widgetbucks...hopefully

    have my doubts about WB though...it's just too good to be true :D

    Just thought I'd let all you guys know that they have an azoogle type archaic tax form submission requirement:

    http://www.widgetbucks.com/terms.page

    This alone makes me turn away from this program.

    There is no way in your account to confirm that you are a non-US entity? Check that first.

    In Adsense, we can declare ourselves as non-us entity, so i would guess widgetbucks should have such option.

    Hey pickles, do you know of a good script or site than scrub a link and spit out what the site's niche could possibly be?

    I am using them on two of my websites. Both are poor-performing cpc sites. One arcade, and the other videos. While the price per click is very good, the clicks seem to be scarce. My average ctr on Adsense was about 4-5% while on Widgetbucks it seems to be slightly under 1%. I changed the layout a bit so the ads fit in better, and we shall see. If it makes me $5.00 a day with those two websites, I am a happy camper... for now.

    edit: All the teens who use their mommy's names don't have to anymore. I put in my name, my Social Security and the check will come in my name... hopefully

    so, if you are like me and ask your mom for money every now and then, telling her you will pay back when you get your adsense check, you don't have to pay her. she can't keep the money right away when she cashes the check for you :p

    I have put them back on 4 sites but hardly getting any clicks. Will try them for 3/4 more days and if it still continues, I will remove it.

    No I don't sorry. Do you mean that it looks at a site and spits out what keywords that site is targeting?
