Still waiting to see if this is the “Adsense Killer”
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!

[...] In my effort to make enough money from this blog in order to buy an Xbox 360, I’m considering incorporating a couple of WidgetBucks ads on this blog. You can see WidgetBucks in action here. [...]

Yeah and it freezes the browser for a little while too
Btw I don’t think there would be an Adsense killer anytime soon…
Well there revenue reporting is at least 5 days behind so that’s not a great start. I’ve noticed that if there are multiple ad units on the one page it slows the load times time, but I haven’t seen a page freeze yet?
I think people were getting a little wound up when calling it the “adsense killer”.
Great! I will try it out! I have had some really bad adsense revenue lately!
Don’t forget to use my affiliate link then Terry!
I need all the help I can get!!!
