Here's some good news for anyone that's looking to make a little extra cash online. WidgetBucks have increased their referral payouts to 15 per cent. In other words you earn a 15 per cent referral fee based on commissions earned by the publishers that you refer. This 15 per cent referral offer runs for the first 12 months after your referred member joins.

Now's a good time to get on board WidgetBucks as the company has just launched what they are calling "YieldSense". YieldSense works behind the scenes to optimize your WidgetBucks widgets to maximizes the rate of return.

So, go join WidgetBucks now, create some groovy widgets, and start making some money.

In case you are looking to make a little extra money, WidgetBucks are offering a $25 sign up bonus for all new publishers.

According to their blog, this promotion is to celebrate the first birthday of WidgetBucks and will run until the end of October.

Here's what they have to say:

"They say that time flies when you're having fun -- and in a flash, WidgetBucks has just completed its first year. To celebrate our first anniversary, we're reinstating our sign-up bonus that we offered during the first three months for all new publishers: $25 bonus when your account reaches $50."

Initially I did quite well out of WidgetBucks, but things tailed off after a while. They have introduced a range of new widgets though, which look a lot more interesting than the old ones, so they may be worth another look.

If you want the $25 sign up bonus, go join now!

Even if you don't want to join, go take a look at the pretty picture of the cup cake on their front page. It's nice.
