WidgetBucks are now reporting on their blog that real time statistic reporting has just been released. This is a very good move and will hopefully give people a little more confidence in their service.

WidgetBucks has only been live since 2 October. In that time over 5,000 publishers have registered, and the network has yielded 25 million page impression. Check out the graph to the right. As with the start up of any program, the number of registered users will inevitably snow ball. With that in mind, I don't see the $25 sign up bonus lasting forever, so I'd recommend signing up now before the bonus offer ends.

Other changes on the horizon with WidgetBucks include:

• Expanding available categories and sub-categories;
• Testing new widget designs;
• Statistics to show earnings by your referrals.

A few people have also asked if it's ok to run WidgetBucks in conjunction with Adsense. Here's the response from the WidgetBucks FAQs:

Can I run WidgetBucks with Google AdSense?

Yes, WidgetBucks is compatible with all other ad systems.

So there you go, join WidgetBucks and get in before the masses.
