    Yes, since G banned my site(not me). WidgetBucks is performing extremely well on my gaming site. The ads are selling $300+ products...so the $0.28 I earn per click is good. I think they will eventually drop it to $0.04 per click which will still be good for a gaming site.

    Personally, I think they will adjust the CPC overall...because everything in red is pending. They could probably adjust earnings easily to make the program successful.

    So, I say go for it!!!! You don't have to replace adsense....

    Well currently Widgetbucks is new so they can prolly afford that CPC. However once its crowded, dont be surprised to see CPC cut down to 50% lower. However still good for some people who aint doing good with Adsense.

    just hope they pay you guys:D

    I have been using them with similar success. Depends on how Adsense is preforming for your site.

    Guyz Guyz Guyz ....

    U forgot 1 point

    COMPARE the Adsense Ads Style with Widget Bucks Ones ??

    which would make the Visitor read it ??

    Forget about the CPC and the CPM

    just watch Google's Ads " SUCKS "
    and then Watch WB attractive ads ??

    why you use only one at a time?
    why not use both.

    I think they work great as a Skyscraper replacent.. but not sure about content text-ads.

    Widget Bucks don't have many niches right now. They are operating with very small number of advertisers right now.
    That is the biggest problem with them right now. If they have exact advertisers for my niche and give that type of CPC, I will go for them.

    And, I don't see it happening any time soon, so will stick to adsense.:p

    They are a product based CPC (shopping) so it's actually very hard to place them up against adsense which is CPC contextual advertising that picks up and uses TEXT ... NOT images like WB.

    I will not be replacing my adsense with WB anytime soon.

    Thats true but Widget Bucks is also contextual, means it also analyzes the content on the page to show the appropriate ads. Thats what they say.

    Yep I know that :) But again it's only shopping items....

    Widgetbucks and Adsense is comparing 2 TOTALLY different things.

    They say many things but their merchsense doesnt work properly. If they don't have inventory for a product how can we expect them to show ads related to our content.

    If you have a book website and they dont have the inventory, merchsense wont do sqaut, it will display default camera ads.

    Anyways, widgetbucks referral program might crush publishers soon, coz more publishers joining their network is going to lower down CPC.

    its already down to 0.27. I wont be too surprised if it bottoms out by november.

    What that? I don't think I agree with that. I think more publishers means, more traffic, means better deals with advertisers (those shopping networks).
