10 Days without a click!
Since Widgetbucks changed the way they count the clicks (only USA clicks) 0.00$ !!!
They can ban me!
Without clicks I don't matter!

A little tip for widgets... you can use an Iframe on your page, and a seperate html page to host the script. The main page will load, and the iframe will load in the background. Makes your page load appear to be quick. See my blog as an example : www.dustandrust.com.

Every thing in the "communities and visitors" sidebar loads separately from the rest of the page. Let me know if you want more info.

I must admit, I tried it out for a short test period. 6500 impressions, 1 click for $0.15. I removed the code now.

I have to revise what I say previously.

We removed Widgetbucks tonight. They were earning about 2 cents per thousand impression. And they slow your site at least 4 seconds per page load. For 2 cents per thousand, you're gone WB - thats junk.

yup it sucks. i removed it after a few days. i have the referral link up but that's not performing either. i'll give the referral link a month and take it down if it still doesn't do anything for me.

Yeah so if you do a quarter of a million impressions with just their ads in a day, they'll give you $5 ... a couple months later. lmao. How generous of them lol

Widget Bucks? I won't work for me because I'm not writing about anything related to their products. The best blogs for Widget Bucks to work are the ones that do tech product reviews.

Mauro, Your blog is "1 Million Love Messages" Having Widget Bucks on your blog might drive visitors away. Or are you talking about other blogs you have?

(Grr. I begin to hate BC because they annoy too much when it come to visit blogs from here).

WOW! I thought it was just me! Are there any GOOD alternatives out there? I don't seem to be making much off adsense either.... not enough for a donut and it's been a month or two.

Mauro,
You remind me of a good friend I had in high school. We became closer friends after we graduated, not what you are thinking either. We just had more time to get to know each other now that high school was behind us.

I miss him as I can not locate him anywhere online and have not seen him since his 30th birthday.

Wow, I wish I knew where he was. Somewhere in the San Fernando Valley I know that much.

Oh well...

TTFN!

I was hoping to earn enough for a payout, but it's getting ridiculous. According to their stats I had no impressions yesterday (or today).
There are just too many bugs all the time.

  Just saw one of those shitty "You are the 10.000th visitor on this site" on my site! Not gonna have garbage like that!
  
  What a waste of time and money (could have something that actually paid instead) that was. I feel scammed :|
