Found this post by Googling “Widget Bucks” and am quite glad I did!

Had heard about WB on the Warrior Forum ( a rave review) and was interested in replacing a few of my AdBrite ads with WB, but will definitely adopt a “Wait and See” attitude on these guys…

Thanks for the heads up GoogleLady!

I agree with your comment about PPC product ads – just the other day I changed the ads on one of my blogs from Widget Bucks to Amazon Affiliate widgets showing products FAR more relevant to my blog than WB did. Surely that makes more sense in the long run!

I have seen a lot of such complaints but I didn’t get a ban even though my account has been dormant for a long time, which means I am not putting the widget in any sites. I am like the rest of the pack as well, waiting for them to pay.

I know WB is a pro-publisher program since it is CPC-based but this won’t do good in a way if the clicks don’t transfer into sales. Advertisers might be paying much more with a lower ROI.

What a bullshit, I stopped displaying WB 2 weeks ago because of slow loading and low performance.
