    Now that my email is working again I've signed up - like the look of things so far, I'll post back after a few days and see how it is going on my site.

    Maybe yes.
    But what about those claims of signup bonus and high RPC(CPC?) of $0.50?

    I just signed up and my CPC is 0.09$:mad:

    they are working on changing the Control Panel so that it gives a running total for money in that pay period as well as the $25 bonus.

    Not all categories pay .28 cents. I think the games channel only pays about .07-.09 cents per click. So, different channels produce higher cost per click.

    Tushar,
    This is not the point, and no one is a skeptic here. The point is one of caution. We don't know about the company, their ad inventory, as such, the self parsing contextual ads still need to prove several points besides those on statistics, raised here.

    nitmech sums up the feelings in general.
    Note: I have already added widgetbux but waiting for the 2nd click on the face of several clicks adsense is attracting despite being pretty much buried well below widgetbux. This again is another point; that is of its performance.

    widgetbux has several miles to go before it becomes reliable, let alone replace adsense.

    Don't these guys pay per sale and not per click. If so, then the earnings you are displaying is only what your site is earning and would not mean other sites would earn the same as you, but there is a possible chance that they could also earn that as you have earned it.

    The only downside I have found about this program so far is that they slow down the loading process of your web pages.

    I put WidgetBucks up yesterday, and think the widgets are very attractive - haven't noticed any slowdown in pages either.

    My problem at the moment is that I'm not getting many click throughs - not sure if that's a problem with reporting, or just that people aren't clicking.

    I'll be leaving it a while to see how it goes.

    Widget bucks is being kind of fishy for me. I'm pretty sure it has more impressons than the ones it shows me and i'm absolutelly sure it has clicks but shows only 8 impressions and no clicks...
    So not really the kind of affiliate for me.

    There is nothing wrong with their system now actually, Works fine for me, Counts every single visitor and every unique click.
    -------
    I have placed another WidgetBucks banner in one of my other sites, Which seem to do even better,
    Here is my 2 days report for those who still think that their system is bugged:

    [​IMG]

    *For those who wonder where do I place my banners at, I've two big portals that I rather not advertise here, But it's just a portal with forum and news and more stuff like that, I place the banner in a very visible spot that no one can possibly miss it.

    *Note: I havn't got paid yet, So don't misunderstood my posts, I am just reporting my current stats, If i'll get paid I'll let you all know.

    P.S

    From what I've read WidgetBucks owners are Mpire And they work with eBay (If that is true there is no chance that it's a scamm), What makes me thinks that it's true is that all the best blogs and sites advertise WidgetBucks, So by now they got a lot of 'buzz' to their site and I believe over 50k registered Publishers/Bloggers.

    I am curious about the 'delete' button there. Why would anyone want to delete data when archiving is any time a better option. (I am afraid to test it myself, and interested to know whether anyone knows more about it)

    I am also curious as to how old is the company and whether their investors are in the public domain. The site talks about ex eBay and PayPal partners. Well, I am not doubting their intentions but just curious.

    Every click in my forum gives me $0.28, i consider it as a not bad approach.
