WidgetBucks- Don’t Waste Your Time

By October 19, 2007

I did not want to write about the WidgetBucks without actually trying it myself. As you can see from the title of the post I am not swept off my feet by it.

There are two major reasons why I dislike the program:

  1. Although it is easy to configure and place it on your website, but once its on your website or blog it may take really long time for the widget to load, while preventing your website from loading completely.
  2. I have a problem with the fact I forbidden to remove html links by Mpire.

Don’t waste your time! You can make better money with AuctionAds and even Amazon.

    I've heard mixed reviews on it. Some people really like WidgetBucks and say that it outperforms adsense.

    I would put WidgetBucks on my son's lego site, but the categories that are available don't really work with the theme of his site. Right now their categories are a bit limited.

    Mom :)

    I am very suspicious about WidgetBucks outperforming AdSense. The initial reviews were hyped up by many who got in early on- they were pushing it to get referrals.

    I think you will be much better off using Amazon affiliate program for your website.

    Thanks Vlad. Right now it's just adsense and Amazon. We have yet to make revenue. So far, we've got over 1500 video views on youtube for his lego show, but that's not converting to revenue. (Of course the site is only 2 weeks old).

    I'm going to look around your site, to see if you have any blog posts about astore.
    I'm thinking about doing a Google adwords campaign to go right to my son's astore. I'm curious as to what the conversion tends to be, and to get tips from successful astore entrepreneurs.

    Thanks for the heads up on that one. I have it in my blog but I haven't seen any earnings on it yet…even though I know they are delayed. What would you say is the biggest income earner for you? I would really like to know??

  • http://www.volodymyrzablotskyy.com Vlad

    My biggest money maker is certainly not based on pay per click.

    Also it would be unfair to point out a single merchant so as networks go Commission Junction (50+ merchants) brings me the most income.

    I agree with you on one point — the hidden link really sucks and is surely not welcome.

    But as far as payouts are concerned, it outperforms AdSense by a long way.

    I've used it on one of my websites and the CPC payouts are quite remarkable as well.

    Don't rule it out so quickly.

    Yes, I won't try it with my blog too because it doesn't match with my blog's topics. At least my readers are not widgetbuck targeted

    I also agree that the electronics / tech widgets are the more profitable ones till now. Maybe they'll add new categories soon.

    I am using WidgetBucks to replace some AuctionAds I was running on my website. So far they are performing MUCH better. I am experiencing a high RPC (revenue per click) using electronics. Initially, I would recommend Widget Bucks, but only time will tell.

    I am sure widget bucks will pay there users. I can't see what would prevetn them from paying out. They are after all the makers of Mpire. I have been using widget bucks for a week on my blogs and have a much higher ctr and am making more money with them. My blogs are product specific so my readers want this kind of content ads. If your blog is not product specific it may not perform as well as adsense. I liked widget bucks enough to start a blog on the best way to use it and how to incorporate it into your site.

    It's been another week and my widget bucks earnings are still strong. I did place the code up on a forum for a while but after a few days the earnings just weren't there. I will stick to using product specific sites for widget bucks
