    Hi Hamsap.
    Thanks for your patience on the proxy questions...
    Proxy sites: There is nothing wrong with placing a WidgetBucks ad on a proxy site.

    “Proxified” pages: Although the use of proxy sites is not explicitly forbidden, any method to obscure your click activity for the purpose of fraudulent activity is prohibited. We can provide no guarantee that impressions/clicks will be applied appropriately following the click auditing process if your ad widgets are deployed via “proxified” pages.

    I hope this helps clarify your questions...and kinda fun to type the word "proxified" :)

    -Dean

    Thats may be because those proxies stops the javascript from executing.

    Wrestler - are you using MerchSense or selecting a category yourself? How relevant are the ads to your site? I'm finding that clicks are low, but not THAT bad..

    I'm really not sure about them , how they are able to provide such expensive clicks all the time ? Who are their advertisers ?
    Do you really think that all advertisers are gonna pay 0.40 $ for each click ?

    I think that they are scam ( just my opinion not tested them ) but it would be really great if they are really gonna pay

    I have seen many people reporting that their click thru rates are getting down (and becoming more realistic). Which seems to be a good sign that this network can survive.:)

    Its not bad, you misunderstand. The proxified pages originally have adsense on them. That adsense still are showing when visiting the page through my proxy just as they would show when visiting the page without a proxy. The strange thing is that WidgetBucks ads are not showing on that same pages.

    Wasted,

    We wanted to let you know, and others on this thread, that we have temporarily re-enabled your account (you'll be receiving a direct email on this as well).

    As we have launched, we’ve seen tremendous growth on our network, and one of our big concerns as a PPC widget, is click-fraud. We of course have systems in place to detect click-fraud and are trying to ensure that it does not impact our advertisers and, in turn, the entire network for other publishers.

    When our systems flag accounts with 10%, 20%, or even 90% (one customer even had 99%) of their clicks to be potentially fraudulent, we have been trying to move swiftly. We walk a fine line between making sure we’re delivering a great service for all of our publishers and our thousands of advertisers.

    In the event that we err by temporarily suspending an account that may be completely legitimate, but fall victim to the suspicious clicks of their users, we will take those on a case by case basis and ask that publishers contact us for resolution. We’re trying to provide the best solution out there for our publishers, and it will take us working with them to ensure everyone benefits.

    Thanks for your continued support of WidgetBucks.

    - Dean

    Hey there folks,

    Here is my 6th day using WidgetBucks update:

    Today has been a great day !

    WidgetBucks replied to my e-mail and they've fixed my Account, Which means that they are nothing like AuctionAds afterall, This brings me into the conclusion that WidgetBucks do not false accuse because they don't wanna pay you, It was just a mistake.

    I've made some extra research on them and they are owned by mpire for real (For those who havn't seen Dean post) and they do get investments from eBay/PayPal, Which means that the chances they are a scam site are close to 0%.

    I am pretty sure that there will still be some more skeptical people about this program,There alwyas is, But I can hardly believe that a Company that retrievs account (Unlike AuctionAds and many other scammers) and is owned by a big company such as Mpire.com will get any close to scamm.

    Altough I still don't have a solid proof (Like a screenshot of my PayPal with money transferd) that they are fully trustfull, I personally think that they are trustworthy and would recommend you all to use it or atleast give it a shot.

    Still have some doubts about why they pay that good and how come they give 25$ subscription bonus?
    As I've said before, They pay good and give 25$ subscription bonus because they are probably trying to 'break' the market, There is many choices to chose from out there and they are trying (And pretty much doing a great job) to give the most rewarding program out-there, Atleast untill they get a real high amount of members.

    Also, AdToll (A trustfull marketing company) Has given their 'blessing' to WidgetBucks and they strongly recommend to use them.

    Hope that it was somewhat helpfull :)
    Have a great day, Wasted.

    P.S
    I'll be reporting my earnings once again tommrow.
