    Not nice guys... not nice...

    Half of the threads on the Adsense forum on DP are now Widgetbucks spam. I was trying to figure out what's up with that. Now, I know. They have $25 referral program. So people on this forum keep putting their referral links in their sig, and when you click on them, they get paid $25. So people keep opening threads about how good this Widgetbucks is even when they haven't yet seen any good results.

    Not nice guys... not nice... Please do not give misleading information just because you want to earn some referral money.

    Can't agree more. Now when i see widgetbucks as the title of the thread, i dont bother to read another affiliate story about someone earning $100 per day from that.

    Unless its proven to pay well and people getting paid at the end of the day, how can someone qualify that as "Great Ad network"?

    by the way referrals dont pay $25, publisher just gets % share on all future earnings of the referred user

    So far Widgetbucks is paying better than adsense for me. I don't have my affiliate link as my sig but I think its good.

    Yeah... no one seems to understand that WidgetBucks is best suited for the "Affiliate Programs" forum... and not any of the "Google" or the "Pay Per Click" forums.

    And personally... I like all this WidgetBucks Buzz. Its a good thing and gives some of us publishers that have been Smart Priced and Google Slapped some hope.

    I also think there is much more nonsense going on in other threads... such as the PR ones ;)
