Pay-Per-Click

Widgetbucks blows AuctionAds out of the water

I had heard about Widgetbucks last monday but with all products, I like to test them before I write a review on them. That way if they suck, you dont waste your time and plus by waiting a week Im able to get you facts mainly in the form of statistics. And based primarily on the stats, widgetbucks looks way better than even I had hoped for.

What is Widgetbucks?

Widgetbucks is a new ad network that features a shopping widget. Unlike networks like amazon that pay only if a person makes a purchase, widget bucks pays per click. I was overjoyed when I first heard about this cause I was looking for something to replace AuctionAds, cause AA wasnt really converting at $0.0252 per 14965 impressions. Widgetbucks claims a $3-$6 eCPM and with my impressions you can see why I was willing to spend the 5 minutes it took to sign up and place the widget code on my site.

First 3 days Stats
Screenshots removed, will be back, waiting on clarification from widgetbucks

Even though i have been using them for almost a week now I only have revenue details for Oct 2-4 cause they have about a 3 day delay in showing revenue stats, though I got 61 clicks on the 5th so Im feeling pretty happy. (Update: Those 61 clicks on the 5th made 27 bucks)

Referall Program

As you probally guessed if you looked at my links to widgetbucks, they do have a pretty good referall program. They pay you 10 percent of the commissions earned by the people you refer for 12 months after the new member joins. So if you’d like to support digitalorder feel free to use any of the of the links on this post to sign-up. Also I have to say they got some pretty odd referall ads.(see below)

Payout Details

They send out checks or paypal the first of every month for all revenue earned during the previous month, as long as you’ve earned a minimum of $50. Also right now they are adding $25 to everyone’s accounts so you get a free $25 as long as you can get the clicks for $25 more which shouldnt be hard since the widget wants to be clicked.

Mpire Press Room
This isn’t really related to the widget itself which is why its at the bottom, but I just have to say Mpire, the company responsible for Widgetbucks, has one of the best designed press areas of any corporate website Ive seen. So if you own or work for a company definently check it out and follow their example and make it easier for the media to write about your company.

If you give widgetbucks a try, please send me your experiences with the program as I’d like to see how well it does with sites that offer a better ctr than mine.
