I have been trying out WidgetBucks on one of my websites. At first I got $0.28 per click for a few clicks, after which I did not get any click for about 4-5 days. In these 4-5 days, thy corrected earnings per click to $0.2 then to $0.14 & now $0.1 per click. They changed RPC thrice for the same clicks when the figures were not red (not pending) , so how can they change finalized earnings ?? Also, the impressions they are reporting are about 1/10th to 1/20th of the impressions reported by Awstats/Adsense/Google Analytics. Due to this I don't believe that they are reporting all clicks too, maybe they are 10 to 20 times the clicks I have right now. Did any of you face this ?
From what I can tell they seem to be counting unique impressions rather than just impressions - I think that's actually a fairer, more representative way of doing it. As for whether or not they accurately report the number of clicks, I think they would be incredibly foolish not to do so - imagine all the negative publicity. Unfortunately, if you play by the rules, you've got no way of checking.
I made about 1000$ in 11 days... My RPC is good, most of the times it incresed after audit, i never saw clicks disappear... Indeeed there is a problem with the impresions, but i don't mind... Unfortunately, i'll see in december if i really get paid or not...
If you do get paid Searche grats, Thats a good chunk of change. =0 I have my doubts about widgetbucks.
I have them too... and probably i'll switch all my ad places to shoppingads, after i get paid on 1st of november... And then wait till december to see if i get paid by widget...
I read a good article about WidgetBucks here and I agree that the main concern is still that nobody has received a payment. Apart from that there are presented some good points that might persuade you to sign up if you're still wondering.
Hmm, I just started using WB, about a week ago. Yeah, my 2 clicks have been 56 cents total, and the impressions seem right.. we'll see in a bit I guess.
no one know if WB are scam or not untill any of their publishers get paid !! I want to give them a try .. but i have few reason not to !! * no one got paid yet , because its a new network ! * they started their campaign to steal adsense and other networks users with their high payout !! but for sure its going to drop. * ads are very slow to load, specialy to slow connection visitors. * many publishers complain now about earning drops. * also they banned many publishers untill now .. lets wait and see how many more will be. so .. for now its a waste of traffic and time and money !!
Initially I feel that we need to give them sometime before we become perceptive. They have just started and got to a mark of 30,000 publishers which in itself is difficult to manage. Just wait till Dec 15th all will be clear.
same here. I had their ads up for a day a few days ago and earned about 2$. Removed the ads due to the low CTR, so never earned more than that, though now they removed those stats and say that I didn't earn a buck! (of course I changed "this moth" to "last month")
Curious as to how you know they were "legit" clicks? I havent had any problems yet with them, but I will find out on the 15th...
i have the same problem, my RPC is .34 then when the amount is calculated it became .21 . Also the impression is low compare to adsense, maybe because of the slow loading of the ads.
as of now I am trying to wait it out. They're just too good to be true, but if you guys get the payment it's not too late for me anyways. I already joined but I am not yet displaying their ads. I still have my doubts.
