I was a bit skeptical when WidgetBucks claimed:

You reap the rewards of PPC ad widgets that earn better than $2 CPM. We’re seeing $3-$6 CPM on our widgets, about three times that of traditional ad networks.

and I decided to try it out to see if it lives up to my expectations. So I hit the main page and found out that WidgetBucks is giving a free bonus of $25 if you sign up now. Tempting.

The sign up process is simple which require your email address and preferred password. You will receive an email to verify and activate your account. Then customize your widget and paste the code into your blog/widget. Here is a sample ad:-

Let’s weigh the Pros and Cons of Widgetbucks:

Pros

1. Interactive ads which will attract more clicks
2. Publishers can choose to receive payments via PayPal
3. Good PPC rate
4. Reporting is good

Cons

1. Slow loading time of the widgets
2. Ads that have too many animation may annoy readers

I placed two widgets on my site and WOW! .. i must say it again .. WOW! it starts generating extra income for me. At the moment, I am earning an average of 28 cents per click which I think is a good rate for publishers. Give it a try!
