Here’s an official update on WidgetBucks reporting: Starting Wednesday, Oct. 10, WidgetBucks begins reporting real-time revenue-per-click (RPC) and revenue, along with existing impression and click-through data. This improves original reporting which left daily RPC and revenue fields blank until vendor auditing requirements were completed (48-72 hours).

To check out the entire post on this, see our blog at http://widgetbucks.blogspot.com
Thanks for the comments…keep’em comin’!

Hi darren,this is from widgetbucks faqs:”How frequently do my Impressions, Clicks, and Revenue statistics update?
Impression and click counts are updated hourly. Revenue reporting occurs within 72 hours. At the bottom of the My Widgets report view we state how current the revenue reporting is. After a couple of days of revenue information, you can calculate a rough estimate of how much your site is earning.”…..Im going to start blogging also,hopefully professionally,thanks for the advice!

I added it to our site and the CTR is okay. No revenue so far.

I have Widgetbucks on my blogs too. I just wonder why I have zero earnings despite the clicks. Like 12 clicks, zero earnings. In Adsense, you can at least see around $0.01 to $0.10 per click.

Concerning the compatibility of WidgetBucks and AdSense, I’ve emailed WidgetBucks, but they haven’t replied. Maybe someone else can help.

WidgetBucks offers two choices – “You choose a category of products” or “MerchSense crawls your page and finds relevant products to include in your widget”.

For me, there are no relevant products offered in the first option, so I would naturally choose the second option, and let the WidgetBucks computer place contextual ads on my site.

But is it not breaching the AdSense terms of agreement to have another advertiser’s contextual ads on you site, alongside AdSense ads?

I’d be grateful for any guidance. Thank you.

I just signed up with WB and as others have noticed, there is a bit of a slowdown.

Thanks for the update on the WidgetBucks situation. I have the tool installed on my two adsense-free blogs. Really disappointed by the route AA took since it was purchased by TLA. I’m hoping that WB will be a better alternative.

Keep up the great work..

Darren,

Bloggers should look around a little bit, when you login and check your earnings on the bottom right side it tells them anyways when the revenue are through:

Like message for today(10-04-2007):

Can we use widget bucks with adsense ? Please clarify.

right according the widget bucks FAQ it’s allowed. You need to be carfull with adsense if you place other CPC based ads on your website. “widget bucks” ads are CPA (cost per action) based.

…wondering how about the TOS for Google’s CPA ads :)

WidgetBucks is good service. And I think that it will be more faster and more money making for bloggers – just give it a shot .

There is only one problem with WidgetBucks and services like this – if visitors are using Flash blockers, then they don’t see ads.

Tech For Novices and BB – WidgetBucks says you can on their FAQ page. I can’t see anything in AdSense’s pages that would indicate you can’t.

Can I place WidgetBucks with Google Adsense Ad?

By: Olaf Lederer

Olaf Lederer — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 06:57:04 +0000

As a blogger I find this frustrating. We’ve become used to systems like AdSense which show us not only impressions and clicks very quickly after they happen

Yes thats true for the CPC ads, the earnings for CPA ads are delayed too, I guess it’s normal for this business.

Yeah…I am also experiencing delay while loading the ads.

I don’t think it is 48 to 72 hours… more like 5 to 6 days. Check when your stats were last updated and look at the date today.

I’ve just got my account verified by a WidgetBucks member. I don’t know why my verification mail was rejected.

Anyway I’m hoping to replace some AdSense ads with these.

Pay per click system is frustrating.as in this process publisher
shows more income but after auditing income generally reduced.
