Checking in on the forums and a lot of people seem to be pushing WidgetBucks very hard. Whilst I'm not sure that it's the "Adsense Killer" that some are making it out to be, I have to admit, their ads do look pretty cool, and potentially useful. I've run them on this site for the weekend, and they act in a similar way to AuctionAds but instead of receiving payment on a commission basis, it's worked out on some sort of pay per click deal.

You earn money each time someone clicks on a WidgetBucks ad widget on your site, also called pay-per-click, or PPC. You can also earn money by referring people to WidgetBucks.

Only downside I'm seeing so far is that sometimes the WidgetBucks spots take a little bit longer to load than the average ad.

I'm not sure what revenue I've made is as yet because the WidgetBucks stats aren't updated in real time. I believe there is a 3 day delay (or close to...). I'm pretty keen to see how they've performed.

WidgetBucks are currently offering a $25 bonus that'll go straight into your WidgetBucks account as soon as you sign up, so it's probably worth signing up now while the offer still stands. I'm sure this $25 bonus will create quite a buzz, so we'll probably be reading a lot about WidgetBucks in the coming weeks.

The other thing I'm liking about WidgetBucks is that they produce eye catching affiliate ads. Here's a sample.

So, do me a favor and join WidgetBucks. For once I'd like to crack double figures for referrals! ;)
