Yea I remember I asked the $500/day guy if his red pending $ stays the same after it turned gray he said they do. For me they do for the first week or 2. I stopped widgetbuck for a week, was getting around 0.18~0.20 cpc which were very good compare to G. Ever since G's October penny click madness I give widgetbuck a try again tho I dont like their loading time, oh well this time after a few days my 0.28 cpc pending becomes 0.09~0.10 final. Look at the attached screenshot, you see the pending is still 0.28. i could take a picture again if they change again when they are gray. Not like I am not expecting them to do this sooner or later because when things look too good to be true it probably is. Didn't expect it to be that fast. So as expected it is just another chitika? Actually 0.09~0.10 cpc is still not bad if the ctr isn't THAT suckie for me. I don't complain since I have no hope in widgetbuck to begin with, I can tell my traffic don't convert for their products. Affliate marketing failed horribly for my site so i know what my audiences are. I was kind of waiting how long they will continue to pay for that much cpc when people aren't buying anything. I just hope I still get paid for what I have earned so far plus the sign up bonus. So anyone else got adjusted too?
Yes, it usually happens, but mostly when they suspect click fraud. If you didn't do anything wrong, rest assured that you will get your payment.
I am not surprised. When there are loads of publishers moving to widgetbucks, do you expect them to pay 0.30+ cents per click? If anyone wants to run a leigitmate profitable business, they can't possibly give you 30-50 cents per click. Dont be surprised to see 1-5 cents click in future.
I saw the same thing happening as well after a week + Give it a couple of months, they will be paying the same thing adsense does to it's publishers. Right now they are paying high CPC to get more advertising....
