I think this is good news for everyone! Dear WidgetBucks Publishers, As mentioned in our email at the end of November, today we have successfully launched International CPM ads to be included in our Widgets. We are now serving CPM ads to the non-U.S./Canada traffic. This will give you revenue, per impression, for your site visitors who come from other countries. This is designed to help publishers who have a blend of traffic from a variety of countries. Our system will do the geo-location for you, determining where the visitor is coming from. Then we'll either show the regular pay-per-click widget (to visitors from the U.S. and Canada) or show an ad that pays per impression (to visitors from other countries). To get started, you will need to log into your WidgetBucks account and re-copy the Widget code under "My Widgets". After you replace the code on your site, the widget will update ad types automatically. We're also proud to mention that we've been selected as a finalist for the Open Web Awards. We invite you to visit the site and vote for WidgetBucks!
Good news. Is it just me or does there seem to be an awful lot of "just re-copy the Widget code" with WidgetBucks? Most decent (well thought out) programs have code which auto updates. I'd like to think WB had everything sorted this time - although I doubt it. On a positive note still seems a reasonable payer. Edit: Having just checked out their CPM ads they're these ghastly "You have 1 new message" and emoticon type things. Horrid.
CountryBoy you are right, the CPM ads make the site look spammy. Hopefully we shall have quality advertisers in the future.
Problem with Widgetbucks is not the looks of the CPM, but it is integration, with Adsense integration is a breeze, with Widgetbucks, it doesn't really work for some of my programs.
Just updated my widgetbucks code on my sites - i can now see the cpm ads as well.....very quick to load (looks like they are getting there act together) .......and the CPM for international traffic is ?...... Find out tomorrow .....lol
