    Seems they carefully reassess clicks before confirming their value. Some people have seen WidgetBucks as an easy source of money and are conning the system - we should all be pleased they are trying to get things right.

    Same, i had like $80 in my account with ppc around $0.45, then the next day it goes down to $29 with $0.15 as the ppc, now its gone down to $21 and ppc is at 9 cent!

    What the hell is going on with widgetbucks?

    Well when you change ad types it will change the total revenue to the new ads eCPC. Just wait and everything will go back to normal. This happens to everywhere and WidgetBucks is NOT ripping you off. It's just how their system works.

    But they need some explanation, let us know why.

    What we can see is the revenue is dropping without reasons...

    I haven't even made any money from them, of course, I don't have enough traffic either however it seriously slowed down my site so bad I just removed it.

    It's strange that money is disappearing but if it is happening to more than one person then obviously it's making a bad impression... I'm sticking with Google :)

    I think initially they didn't because they didn't think it would be a problem or it would scare away people who didn't understand what they were explaining before they signed up.

    I also think that I would be removing them as soon as possible coz they are making my site slow and not earning anything as well.
    Now I learned new thing that they are even deducting money from accounts . SO I am not going to keep them

    I know they will audit the revenue, and it may decrease.

    But when the revenue is in red, it starts to decrease(still in red). And the impression is lower than Adsense's.

    Some people report the revenue still dropped when in black.

    So what is the exact rule?

    I do not like how they do this.... they should not report figures that are incorrect or are yet to be reviewed. Its too inconsistent and makes them look very bad.

    I did think Widgetbucks was a little too good to be true at first and now I know.

    On top of that they haven't paid anyone yet so until they do you have to question it.

    It does look legit and it is well presented and works well just the reporting issue is very suspect, they should change it.

    The same has happened with one other guy on DP... while i was reading reviews about WB. I have come to the conclusion that they do not have a stable and well tested website and do not want to pay more than $3-$6 CPM
