And now for something not very different - WidgetBucks.com Review
Similar to ShoppingAds, it’s a CPC product thingy. I won’t go into lots of detail, as the main points are similar to the ones made in my ShoppingAds near-condemnation, but there are a few points I want to make.
The CPC is higher for WidgetBucks, which is great, until they check how many sales they’ve done as a result of the clicks and adjust them accordingly - so expect your $10 of clicks to change to $2 in a few days.
The ad units certainly look cool, and I think this, combined with the high-ish CPC of around $0.50 and the $25 welcome bonus they’re offering, has resulted in a bit more of a buzz about WidgetBucks than it’s recent competitors. The trouble with these ad units is that they take bloody ages to load, and by the time they have loaded, the user’s more than likely found what they wanted on the page and hasn’t had a chance to be distracted by something new and pretty to click.
And this $25 welcome bonus - how many publishers will make their $50 threshold for payment, and not get bored waiting for that 45 day payment period?
I keep trying all these new things out, just for the sake of trying them really, but every time I end up going back to Adsense. I’ll probably keep trying these new things out though just so I can post about them on the blog. Great fun.
Seriously people, just stick to Adsense, and maybe Text-Link-Ads if you’re a PageRank and Alexa obsessive.
