    Im just now signed up with widget bucks but im concerned about putting it along side of google adsense ads..
    Cause i heard google is penalizing widgetbucks.com in the searches for some unknown reason..
    Do you guys think google doesnt like widgetbucks or mabye they would be ok to run with adsense ads?

    Im kinda scared to put them with my adsense ads so for now im running them on a subdomain untill i get better idea of weather its ok or not..

    Im sure some folks here at dp would be able to tell me faster then emaling google cause prob they wont answer if i did i dunno..

    Any insight would be much apreciated :)

    well i think they re-check your website when they have to send you payment and if they find that those are similar to google ads... then if they find something wrong they can ban your account.

    I think the important factor here is if the ads can be mistaken for Google Ads or not.

    Personally, I don't think they can, but that's just my opinion. People who are not Asense publishers may think differently.

    I tried WB for a week on two pages as a test, one on it's own and another on the same page as Adsense ads. I wasn't impressed and I've now taken them off completely. They are too slow to load and the hype about large payouts per click didn't happen on my site.

    In fact. I feel that if you have them side by side with Google, they take away from the Google earnings. And for me at least, they paid less.

    Adsense will not banned your account.
    Don´t worry.
    I have adsense and widgetbucks on my sites and nothing is wrong.
    Widgetbucks is much better and pay alot.

    To get banned for using other networks google says:
    1. Other network should be contextual
    2. Their ads should "look like" google ads.

    And this second condition is not fulfilled.

    So you cannot be banned from Google for using Widget Bucks.
    I hope that helps.

    I don't think you will be banned, but I would confirm it with google first just to be on the safe side.

    I don't think Google can, but you never know. It only takes them 10 seconds to change their policy.

    Also, I'm certain that AuctionAds will ban you if you use WidgetBucks, since ShoeMoney owns it and he clearly dislikes WidgetBucks.

    Nope, as long as its not similar in appearance with Adsense. Been using Tumri, CasaleMedia, and Widgetbucks with Adsense...
