You’re right, they don’t - and that’s another thing that makes them a poor program. I know every single site that exists receives visitors from other countries, even if the dominant country is the USA, those other clicks still exist. And when WidgetBucks keeps our money for those, that’s just a poor move on their part. You made a smart choice! ;)

You are very right. I guess it’s that WidgetBucks is a new company and you can’t be 100% sure if they’re trustworthy yet or why earnings disappear from accounts without reason. You can’t tell if there IS an underlying reason or if WB is just trying to save themselves a lot when it comes payment time. Besides that, I agree with you - they DO need a management overhaul.

I’ll be starting to use widgetbucks as, as I don’t have many options. Though I still think they need a management overhaul…

Hehe.

I’ve realized that they target ads, but when I said it depends on the niche, I really meant that you needed to have a site where the visitors wouldn’t mind hearing an unexpected burst of audio. On this site, I think my visitors would mind.

Sites like that might be ones that aren’t all that serious, like humor sites or online arcade game sites. But yes, I will keep an eye on them because it is a great idea and has plenty of potential. Thanks again! :)

Just joking. Apparently they will be able to target the ads. Let’s give them time to show what they have.

Write you later! Take care!

It looks like an interesting concept and I think it would work rather well on several different kinds of niches, but like you, I’m iffy about trying something of the sort. It could annoy the people who visit this site, or if it was a first-time visitor they might get frustrated and never come back.

The site’s layout isn’t too great (looks a lot like those sites trying to sell me something, like an ebook), but like I said, the concept is original. It will be nice if they’re legit and to see them grow, because the program could definitely work for a lot of people. I think it just all depends on the niche of the site.

Thanks for sharing it with me - and the link is no problem. You can link to or share anything you like, as long as it’s not inappropriate. I appreciate it! :)

EDIT: I see it can go on Myspace profiles and any site like that where it won’t go against terms of service, so that is good. I might use it on those sorts of sites instead, since I don’t have a niche site where it would out well without annoying visitors.

Since I am here now… I recently got an email from Charles Hefflin, the SEO20/20 guy, about PPP as they refer to it. The program is called Pay-Per-Play. Apparently there is a new piece of technology patented that allows people to put a chunk of advertising code on every page of their web site and when the visitor comes to the page a few seconds audio advertisement auto plays. The publisher gets paid for every play. The program is starting to pay out in February. Honestly I am iffey about AUTO play feature of it,, but I am willing to give it a try since the adverts are only 5 seconds long, and you can apparently opt in to play 30 second adverts as well.

If you are interested to take a look at the program you can access it here: http://tinyurl.com/3c3hnr

Sorry about the link. You can remove it if you will or edit it. I just thought i would share this discovery. I am sure there will be quite a few people interested.
