WidgetBucks Scam?

November 3, 2007 · Filed Under Make Money Online 

The newest player in the ppc scene - widgetbucks.com created a buzz in the industry with its high-paying offers, from $25 sign-up bonus, $3-6 cpm and around $0.28 rpc is truly attractive. After hearing it from some friends of mine, I immediately signed-up for an account and installed it into some of my sites, not the adsense making ones as I am not really sure if widgetbucks is legit (I don’t want to gamble my steady adsense earnings with it).

After installing it to a couple of sites, I earned around $4.xx thru it with a $0.28 rate per click and I can assure you that those are legit clicks. Yesterday, while checking my current earnings, it went down to $0.10 per click affecting even my previous earnings making my total at $2.xx! It was really disappointing though I haven’t earned much yet (lucky me I haven’t placed it to some strong sites yet). I even had five referrals under me and now I feel like I should be sorry for them too.

I also made a research earlier and found this thread from digitalpoint forums wherein it seems like I’m not the only one experiencing this.

be noted that they’ve got a lot of sign-ups from digitalpoint members as this is one of the biggest forum and marketplace for webmasters.

I hope we’ll get better explanation from widgetbucks with this issue.

    haven’t experienced that. di pa naman bumaba yung RPC ko, and posted na yung finalized earnings ko for october. sana nga, finalized na talaga yun, baka sa december, bumaba pa. hehe.

    I HOPE it’s not a scam. I’m getting some income from it already. Just need to actually get paid.
