    I signed up for WidgetBucks yesteday and put it on my proxy network. I made 30$ today...

    I can't wait to see how much I will earn during the weekdays. :cool:

    I really hope that WidgetBucks is not a scam since it's paying 4x what I'm earning with Adsense....

    Oh that $30 will drop - I always get excited daily LoL, the higher your CPM the more it will drop - expect it to drop within the stated range $3 - $6 cpm.

    Mine have and it sucks big time - but in saying that I am going to stick it out.

    Sad, but true. $30 will probably be like $8-$10. Keep an eye out for what happens to make sure you don't lose revenue.

    I have a problem with these new programs starting up with fantastic per click averages for the first few weeks or maybe even a month, and then "correcting" those totals later on. It seems like they are intentionally reporting higher rates per click so they get that word-of-mouth advertising, and then just as they get a huge rush of new publishers using their program they pull the cord and send the click rates way down and make adjustments to accounts to lower the rates that were previously reported.

    Widgetbucks is a scam

    I recommended that it to 14 people. Most of them are banned by Widgetbucks.

    Beware all the webmasters

    My clicks start off at 30 cents each, and right now they lowered them to ~19 cents each.

    mmine was 0.26$ a click when confirmed at the begining nowdays (last 3 days) averaging 0.37$ per click.

    i think it is depending on your click conversions, therefore your clicks may not be giving conversions.

    Mine only go up if they have a low CPM rate - the high CPM rates are being reduced, so for me I have to find the medium / or in between, I get a staggering 9% CTR. I'm just going to ride it out and then figure out my ROI and see if it's worth it.

    Well done with the $30 daily money

    It seems widgetbucks works really well on proxies

    It does great on mine also :)

    I think with saturated low paying adsense keyword sites (proxies), widgetbucks really comes into its own & is definitely a great addition to any webmasters ad toolbox

    If indeed widget bucks is not a scam. A lot of webmasters will be very happy including me. Including those that are banned from adsense.

    WidgetScam is ripping me off too. Just a few days ago I had over $1K in revenue on their reports page. Now it's barely $200. What gives? When a revenue report is "set in stone", in shouldn't be changed!

    Good thing these losers are at the bottom of the ad chain.

    LoL yeah I can finally log in and have found a neiche that is converting - for now at least - but I am still going to hold my patience and not spend a lot on advertising - as much as I really want to while it's paying out.

    I have also found it Suspected. Once i got good Clicks and Impressions. But i have not got any Cent in account. When i complaint to them they said.You are not getting any thing because you have to get 100 Visitors from same country in a day to get anything. Then i saw that they even reduce my lots of impressions and earning to $0.What a site!
