widgetbucks lowers per-click rate

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by Creep, Oct 22, 2007.

    I put widgetbucks on my site a couple weeks ago. Didn't get many clicks, maybe 1 or 2 per day, but they paid 10 cents per click.

    A week later, those old clicks were only showing 4 and 5 cents each. No additional clicks, just change in the rate. So my balance has dropped.

    Anyone else experiencing this?

    For some people those click's rate increase when they go from red to black, but for others it decreases. So may it its linked to conversion.

    Well, the site says -- "Hands down, WidgetBucks exceeds traditional publisher's CPM targets of $1-$2. You reap the rewards of PPC ad widgets that earn better than $2 CPM. We're seeing $3-$6 CPM on our widgets, about three times that of traditional ad networks."

    So far, my cpm is $0.17

    not enough information to venture an opinion.

    are both adsense and widgetbucks on the same page? has there been a change in advertisers? how long has the adsense low epc trend lasted? etc.

    No mate this is the highest CPM I am getting, far better than adsense. but the page view count gets a bit lower, may be they dont allow multiple pageviews per IP ..

    However, I think they calculate the conversion and pay you. For me It started with 28c .. after it went black .. it became 42c+

    I put 2 ads for this .. 1st one got 10xx Impression, around 15 clicks, and I got $6.xx that is good

    and for another ad .. it got 10xx impression, around 6 clicks and I got $2.xx, that is good again.

    It is the highest paying ad for me if it pays ...
