Widgetbucks Scam Or Is It Real?

Why People Think That WidgetBucks is a Scam?
Well in my opinion when people see that they are paying much on a single click they get interested but it also make them to think that how they can pay more then $0.30 per click. Thats why they start saying that WidgetBucks is a scam, they will not pay you.
Well May be they were thinking the right thing.

Why I Think That WidgetBucks is a Scam?

Hmmmmmm! as far my concern i do also think the same thing often. My Two Friends who also publish WidgetBucks ads, get suspended. They get suspended at WidgetBucks because of no reason.
WidgetBucks Said that clicks on Our ads dont convert to sales. WidgetBucks Said that you placed our ads on non-content pages in your site. (even ads were working on only two pages that were full of content). They suspended and take all the earnings i think near about $500.
So that all about why i think WidgetBucks is a scam! but still i am using it with a hope that it will not suspend my account for such a crap reasons.
Well those who want to use WidgetBucks can click to give it a try.

Finally we can make money with Widgetbucks

Finally we can make money with Widgetbucks, Seems they put their ears on to listen us


Widgetbucks via their newsletter announce that starting on the coming December, they will offer a CPM Ads for International Traffics. That is a good news of course since the last time they announced that they pay traffics came from North America only.
Now this is probably your chance to make money with Widgetbucks. Here is a copy quote from their official blogger blog
At the time a user visits a page containing the widget, we will sense the geographic location of the visitor. If they are in the U.S. and/or Canada, the user will see the normal WidgetBucks widget. If the user is outside those two countries, then our system will determine a country- specific CPM ad to display. We are currently working with advertisers covering 100 countries and offering thousands of creatives to ensure that site visitors will be monetized for your benefit. All ads are restricted against adult or other suggestive themes.
So now they finally have a sense of visitors geographic location
A good comment was submitted by one of their reader there,
Great to see CPM ads being implemented.It would also be great to be able to choose to show CPM ads all the time if we wish to rather than mostly CPC.

It’s true, from my personal experienced when I tried widgetbucks widget ads on this site, their CTR was so low. That’s why I removed widgetbucks from this site. If only we could set it to show all the CPM ads only, it would be definitely a good solution.
Now the problem is that the Country-spesific CPM Ad, as they said they currently are working with advertisers covering 100 countries, that means if your visitors came from outside of that 100 countries, still you’ll not gonna make money!
But it’s a good progress anyway. Let’s give them a chance and support, if they really a good money maker, then I might put their widget back on this site

WidgetBucks revenue stands at 217000$ per day

After widgetbucks announced that they have recieved 25 million impressions in 7 days “emdys” calculated on the basis of 10% CTR counted up to 25,00,000 clicks in 7 days out of which widgetbucks were making around 12,50,000$/week , wow didnt knew this guy had made many guess and expectations without any backend information of the company regarding their income, expenses etc. There are many other publishers unhappy after getting banned from widgetbucks because of running the adverts on Non-English websites or websites which were running ads against their TOS.
Though its 10th of this month and still widgetbucks has not yet updated the referral stats on the mybucks section and its confusing because their mybucks update schedule clearly says that the Referral commissions are posted during the first week of the subsequent month.

How to GeoTarget Adverts on your website

There have been several times you were told by pay per click companies that Non-US Based traffic wont be paid or will be paid much lower than US based traffic and this is the time you will need a GEOTarget adverts feature or a script on your website which can show ads based on the visitors country and this is called GeoTarget Adverts.
Recently WidgetBucks announced that Non US Publishers not to be paid WidgetBucks and previously chitika and Yahoo publisher network also disapproved Non-US based traffic, which makes me sure you are looking for this kind of script.

Installation

There are two versions of the script, depending on whether you are more willing to accept false positives or false negatives. This is necessary due to the way different browsers report their language.
1. You will need to create two text files in the home directory of your server, usads.txt and otherads.txt . Paste in ad code you want to show to US visitors(ex. YPN) in usads.txt and paste in ad code you want to show international visitors(ex. AdSense) in otherads.txt .
2. Paste one of the following script versions to the place in your template where you want to insert ads. For US visitors the Safari and Opera browsers report their language only as “en”, while Firefox and Internet Explorer report it as “en-us”. The More Restrictive version of the script will only show US ads to browsers reporting “en-us”- thus, Safari and Opera visitors will only be shown International ads, regardless of location. However, you can be sure that no ads intended for US visitors are shown to international visitors. The Less Restrictive version shows US ads to any browser reporting “en”, so American users of all browsers will be shown ads intended for Americans- but so will anyone else in an English-speaking country, primarily Great Britain and Canada. Wordpress won’t let me put php code into posts, so you will need to put < ?php (without the space) at the beginning of the script and ?> (without the space) at the end.

More Restrictive:

$language = $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'];if (substr($language,0,5)==”en-us”){include “usads.txt”;}else {include “otherads.txt”;}
Less Restrictive:
$language = $_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'];if (substr($language,0,2)==”en”){include “usads.txt”;}else {include “otherads.txt”;}

If you are using the WP-Cache plugin, you will need to mark the code as executable by enclosing it in –mfunc tags: put < !–mfunc–>(without the space) at the beginning and < !–/mfunc–>(without the space) at the end.
Because the ad code is included in a separate text file, and seamlessly written into the page upon execution, you are not modifying the actual ad code, and are thus fully compliant with their TOS.
Thanks to Neomeme for providing this excellent script.
