Again, this form of ads pulls nothing of interest on my site. Nothing matches anything in my content.

I just recently signed up for WidgetBucks and am very excited to try it out. I haven’t heard back from them yet but I really hope I get accepted.

Widgetbucks suspended my account and I still can’t find why ? The Traffic that I sent them was mainly outside US but I still made more that 50$ since I started using their widgets..

The B series ad unit looks attractive.

I like widgetbucks because they catch your eye, but ultimately I found that they load far too slowly. If I had a site that was more about just getting random one visit and done type traffic then I would consider it, but I think they would just annoy regular readers.

I saw this announcement today too. The newer widget looks a lot better.

I put up a WidgetBucks ad finally on my blog today. The new ones look pretty nice. It’s sad that they don’t count non-US clicks…

Aww man, I just signed up for my new site on WidgetBucks before I read this post. I’m targeting the UK so I totally wasted 30 seconds of my employers time! Whoops.

Ah well, I’ll try Chitika as mentioned by Joe above.

Cheers

The second ad looks slicker I think, but I don’t know if I like it better than Chitika…

Some people are complaining about the colors–can the colors be customized, as they can be with AdSense?

It looks pretty neat to me. I am also interested in hearing what kind of success people have been having with widgetbucks.

I still have mixed feelings about WidgetBucks (got whole two clicks from them).
One thing was that suddenly the widget would not show up on my site at all; I though it was in connection with the CPM ads been enabled (I’m based in Switzerland).

I tried to contact their support but my log info for mpire didn’t work and they could not send me the password or anything, so just dropped an email to their media relations, never heard back.

Later it suddenly started working again; but I don’t see CPM ads when I check my site, I would have expected!
Anyway, only had CPM ads shown 3 days of December (11th to 13th).

Time will tell if it is all worth it or not.

The thing that I still don’t like about Widgetbucks is that they ask you for the URL of the page that the ad will appear on. I run all my ads through an ad server, so the same code can show up on any page at any given time. When I first tried them out for a week or so, I was showing almost no impressions on the ads while AdSense had thousands. Why must you place a specific URL for each ad widget? Is this still the case, or am I reading into it wrong?
