    I see sooo many posts of people hating WB. Why is it? I can understand the people that got banned or what not but then there are just the band wagon people that hate them because they are not adsense.
    I was leary at first with them but figured I would try it on one of my sites that might go hand in hand. And it has done very well! I am more than happy to double my money. Now mind you, I havent given up on adsense, I use it on lots of my other sites as well as adbrite and CJ.

    For those of you that havent tried it, I suggest start with one site of yours.....dont put all your eggs in one basket. Plus you get $25.00 for free. And for those that have tried it, why not continue using it alongside other forms of advertisements until you get to your $50.00 payout instead of throwing away $25.00?

    Lots of us have recieved our payments (early too) I wasnt expecting a payment until next year.

    But there are bugs in the system that will need to be fixed, as im sure lots of new sites that grow this quick need be....

    Love it or leave it, this is all just my own opinion and you know what they say about that....

    i've signed up a month+ ago but their ads weren't displaying for a few weeks so i decided to cancel my account. I sometimes place the code to check but it still doesn't show any impressions compared to the 200/500+ UV's adbrite reports so i guess it just doesn't work with my blog for some reason. -> http://www.engineeringserver.com/blog/

    Hope it works better for other people that are using WB :) but to me, nah i'll pass.

    Well I thought the same thing but the way I found out how many impressions I had was instead of going to the month or week, enter the date range instead.....I think its a bug, but im not positive.
    Try that out....
    Good Luck and hope that helped

    So much effort to make money. I think once it settles down and most of the bugs get worked out people will be more willing to test them out.

    But it takes work to make money. And I think your right, once it gets settled in more people will wanna try it out. But hopefully they dont decrease thier payouts....

    They are the best, average 50c per click. And best of all you can choose what is displayed, unlike adsense...

    I quite like them actually.
    When you do get the right clicks they pay well. Plus the $25 sign up bonus, 10% for 12 months referral program, and PayPal payment option are quite attractive. My only complaint at the moment would be the low rate of their CPM ads, but I'm sure that'll improve with time.
    I still have faith and I've been paid by them.
