   4 Hi unitechy - I haven’t experienced much down time with them. I took them down for a week or so but I’ve put them back now they are serving CPM ads for non US traffic.

   8 Definitely worth checking out Bryce. Won’t cost you anything so give them a run and see how you go.

   9 why you don’t use now widgetbucks ads

    10 Author Comment Hi Alan - I still use them. On this blog they are on a few of my more highly trafficked posts and I’ve tried targeted those ads. Eg, lingerie ads for the “camel toe” hunters. I was having the most success with them on my music site.

    11 Please, remove it from this page! It slows down a lot the websites. Every single time i watch a widget of them i run from them because my computer lagss

    14 Congratz, i didnt reach the $50 on october but i hope i will get it before the end of the year. PS: CPM rates are very low compared to other CPM networks :-/

    15 Author Comment You’re right, the CPM rates are low at the moment, but that was to be expected. Here’s some info from their blog: “CPM rates will initially be “low” because WidgetBucks is building credibility with these advertisers. As of today, we are implementing more targeted campaigns for traffic coming from countries that will quickly represent a better CPM. Specifically, those are UK, Australia, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Brazil, India, and Japan.” “Not long. In fact, publishers should see an increase in CPM rate over the next couple days as we expand targeting methods.” “Rates are definitely varying by country (and see the question below on non- or low-paying regions). Most countries are ranging between $0.25 and $0.80 CPM, depending on ad size. In general, the 468×60, 728×90, and 160×600 ad sizes yield higher than the 300×250, and much more than 120×600 or 250×250.”

    16 I haven`t got a succes with witgedbucks

17. swollenpickles Posted: Dec 19th, 2007 at 8:23 am

    17 Even though they have implemented the CPM ads for international traffic, the pay outs for those are pretty low. WidgetBucks still works best for sites with a lot of US based traffic.

Hi Colorspill, are you outside the US? If so that may explain it as the widgetbucks ads are only shown to US visitors and they replace them with CPM ads for rest of the world traffic. You can see how much you making from CPM ads by clicking the CPM tab in the reports section within widgetbucks.
