Why I Dropped Widgetbucks?

Posted by Kenji on 30 November 2007 2 Comments

If you read my blog regularly, you will probably notice I have made a few good posts on Widgetbucks and have highly recommended my readers to sign up with them.

Here are the snippets of my previous posts:-

Oct 29

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!

Nov 12

If you read my introductory post on Widgetbucks, I mentioned that I am earning an average of $0.28 per click (approx RM 0.90 per click). Now, amazingly, I am getting an average of $0.56 per click! You may want to give this program a go!

and recently Nov 22

To be fair, WidgetBucks dealt with the situation well and I am genuinely impressed with them. Keep it up!

Today, I have decided to drop WidgetBucks because they no longer accept clicks generated from outside North America. I was not aware until I read the following from their site:

… WidgetBucks can be placed on any site that has traffic. Because all of the current products are from US based merchants we do limit the clicks to be from North American site visitors.

I once said that they handle things professionally but this time, I would like to take my word back. Firstly, they did not inform us of the new “changes” and kept me wondering if they were facing technical problem when the ads did not generate any click for 8 consecutive days.

Widgetbucks - No clicks

Secondly, I emailed them to check on this matter and till now, I have yet to receive a reply from them. Nowadays, good customer service is crucial to any organization and if they do not offer that, then it is GOODBYE WidgetBucks! :P
