WidgetBucks Proof.

Yes you can put it on sites which are not based in USA but written in English.

 

I hope thats what it means, WidgetBucks is turning into one of my top performers and I dont want one of those suspensions because I am not converting

 

My CTR is around 1-2%

 

I hope WB will be one of my top earners.

 

My is around 1%

 

I removed them all again, simply because the loading times are horrible. I have content and image rich sites already and these widgets took too long to load. I also think you cannot earn more than Adsense with it, despite you show electronics and other expensive ads. The ad unit style is too "futuristic" to have a good CTR on my sites.

It might work wonders within all the web 2.0 sites though.

 

Working great for me thus far, yup that's true DaMa content rich pages (images, videos etc.) will struggle with the widget.

I am just hoping I wont get banned or loose cash somehow as I am putting a lot of effort and (some) money into these campaigns.

 

For me it works very good. i hope they will pay. i have a good niche, and i have placed the ads very good. It blends with my website very nice.

I am running from a few days, and for one website only for a day, and it seems the niche is more important

I will post here if i am going to be paid
Good luck to all

 

well...they have good animation on their ads...but that means a very long loading time

 

personaly i dont like hem.
they should offer banner link ads like adsense.

my click rate is too poor, or maybe the traffic i bring on my site dont interest in such kind of ads

im mkaing proxy site, and haveing 1000view per day, zero click at all with hem

 

DnHype,

I would hazard to guess that your situation might be similar to mine in that the ads are not relevant to your site content. That is the reason why my CTR is terrible.

 

For some reason, it may just be me, but I think the ads have been loading even slower this week than they have been previously. Is it just me or has anyone seemed to notice this as well?

 

I think those were always slower.. I don't see much difference this week.

 

I started using widgetbucks in my proxy site. No payoff for 4-5 days

yesterday my site had a break through. Got 0.6$ for 400 page views.

 

Exactly,they make use of this algorithm to hide IP.

 

Hello there guys,

Sorry that I havn't wrote for sometime, But there is a few updates about Widgetbucks,

Here is my Full review about this program, I'll make it short:

WidgetBucks - Owned by Mpire.com:
Many people still wonders if WidgetBucks is a scamm site or not, Well They are not a scamm site, I can asure you that, They do pay and they will pay you, BUT, WidgetBucks is the kind of companies who keep looking for a reason to suspend your account, So they won't have to pay you, They will catch you by the inch for any wrong thing you did and accuse you for not following their TOS, Then they will suspend your account , Delete your referrals and ofcourse won't give you a cent.

I've been suspended 2 times from WidgetBucks with no right reason, The first time I've been accused of doing fraud clicks - Got my account back, The second time, They added a new 'rule' to their TOS (Which i've never seen before) which do not allow you to place Widgets on non-english sites, Then they banned my Account once again with no right reason, Deleted 22 active referrals, and nearly 500$.

Ofcourse I Emailed them, But they never really answer my question:
"Why did you suspend an account with 22 Active referrals with only 6 hours warning (Which I never saw) for placing Widgets on non-english site Which is a new rule?"

They never really answer that question, I even offered them to take all my income (Delete the 500$) and just leave me with my referrals, But what do you think? they care? they don't want me to earn 10% commissions for each of my Active referrals because it will cost them.
So they just rely on their new rule and tell me that they can't retrieve my account because I broke one of their TOS rules (Which wasn't there when I signed up - remember).

Now let me show you what I mean:
This is a Mail that they sended to me , Read closely, The red words are my comments:

Hi Eliran

We've looked at your account. We see that a significant portion of your
clicks have been rejected as invalid in the regular audits of all
accounts (ok I'll agree with that).

We did give you several hours warning (While I was asleep) before suspending your account,
rather than suspending it immediately, because we wanted you to have
time to adjust your sites (Yeah right). We also have to balance our responsibilities
to our merchants for deliverying quality traffic to them, and quickly
shutting off traffic that does not comply with our terms (Ofcourse... It's all about your merchants, It has nothing to do with you and that you don't wanna pay).

Our terms of service, related to sites that are not primarily English
languages, have not changed since our launch (Pure lie). The relevant section is
Exhibit A, WidgetBucks Program Policies, under the heading "Language".
It says: "The Widget code may be placed on pages with content primarily
in English. Widgets must not be displayed on any page with content
primarily in an unsupported language, without prior written consent from
Mpire.". Please refer to our terms of service at:
http://www.widgetbucks.com/terms.page.

----

As you can see, They put it all on their new rule.
Now look what a big douche bags (excuse me for the word) they are,
This is what they wrote on their blog a few days ago:

As we've continued to evaluate impression, click and conversion data during WidgetBucks' first 3+ weeks, we've observed that a majority of non-English language sites are delivering a consistently low conversion rate. With our merchants and advertisers predominantly based in the U.S., this is not a surprising phenomenon. And as an advertising network, we have a responsibility to our merchants to deliver quality traffic that has the highest likelihood of conversion to sale.

As a result, we've updated our program policies to no longer approve or accept non-English language sites into the WidgetBucks ad network. See our Program Policies here.

This policy change enables us to consistently provide high-quality clicks and traffic to our merchants, and in turn, continue offering our competitive revenue-per-click (RPC) to our publishers.

Thank you for your continued efforts and input.

- Dean

Look closely what he sais:
"We have UPDATED our policies"
Didn't they say in my mail that their TOS havn't changed since the launch?
I smell some crap in the air.

-----

Also, From some unmentioned reason, WidgetBucks are deleted from Google search, No one really knows the reason for it, But I really wonder why.

-----

Conclusion:
WidgetBucks Will pay you, If you'll survive all their suspensions and false accuse.

-----

If I won't get my account back by sunday, I am going to legaly sue mpire.com for being a Fraud site, False accusing and abusive of innocence people in their program.

So look forward Mpire, Because this time you messed with the wrong guy, And Believe me I'll invest a lot of money for taking you down.

-----

I'll be happy to hear any comment about this review either here or in PM and will be happy to answer it.

Regards, Eliran.

 

You are my hero, go for it

 

Sad to know Wasted that your account is blocked again.

 

Hope you will get your account back.

 

Although I agree that Mpire should have been honest about their policy changes, I can see why they would be trying to limit their program to English-only sites, especially when their ads are delivered in English.
