    I left WidgetBucks about 4 months ago when CPM rates started to drop further and further. Today I received a mail from them. It said:

    Earn $10 for 10k
    We know that you were a one time WidgetBucks customer and we want you back! We will credit your account $10 once you reach 10,000 impressions just for coming back.


    The fonts were actually that big. It also said:


    Should I take the bait?

    Seems this offer was sent to a limited amount of publishers.

    Go for it. They have really rebounded from the troubles of a few months ago. Last month I made $100+ and 20c clicks were the norm. The only negative is the slow widget display time - sometimes visitors disappear before they've seen the goods.

    They are quite a reputable company. They had some problems a few months ago, but everything is back on track now. If you're interested in giving them a whirl please read my WidgetBucks review for the full story. It also includes proof of payment.

    Glad that they ironed out all the problems, hopefully they can be a credible alternative to Adsense.

    Must have had BIG problems a few months back if they lost some of their best publishers. which they obviously did if they sent out a special 'come back' email.

    Still, sounds as if they may have tidied up their act. And the new ad formats mentioned certainly sound interesting.

    They didn't blog it this time. MyBucks always takes ages to update.
    Maybe they sent your money to someone else by mistake?!
