    Yeah depends what side of the fence you sit on I guess, those who are already booted/banned, those who's earnings are dropping daily (confirmed earnings) or some who just can't get a click.

    I do alright, ready to start a large campaign because I am getting good returns on my investments, but I am just waiting it out a little bit longer.

    As for scam - nah they seem legit and are a large company with years of experience.

    i see. so how did people get banned? that's so sad.

    Apparently for invalid clicks or for breaching "Non English" sites terms, if you have a non English site you must have consent before hand via an application.

    I had 3 on some pages - but it slows down the page load dramaticaly, I also found that I would only get clicks on one of the banners - usually the one that sat above rest - in my case a 660 x 330 widget.

    Most of you put too much faith in WidgetBucks to begin with. It's an affiliate program, not a gift from God.

    i have my doubts about Widgetbucks, i think maybe they might be doing really good PPC rates for now but... later theyll drop the click price when loads of publishers have signed up. im going to wait untill next year untill i sign up

    Mmmm but they already are dropping them, it seems as though the red is the conversion price - so if your clicks are junk and not converting then they are decreasing, it just takes a few days or even a week to see the real click values.

    Gotta believe in something I guess, can't just wait around and hope, WB is just one of many ways that I monetize my sites or make money online. It's just another option.

    I think widgetbucket is an very easy to use program ,even if it is an affliate program .
    It great because you can use it below the fold and still have perfect ctr.So you should have adsense above
    the fold and widgebucks below and this is perfect think.
    10 cpm - no problem

    I agree, it doesn't quite make me that much but some sites my earning ratio is 2:1 (widgetbucks:adsense) ...........i am in the mix and match group and believe that by having widgetbucks and adsense you get the best of both worlds

    By having more than 1 ad network on your sites your overall publisher risk is also reduced
