How To Make More Money With WidgetBucks CPM Ads

Last night we implemented a new Int’l CPM model where every publisher/domain is categorized for CPM traffic. Categorized CPM placements are paid higher CPM by Advertisers, so this change is intended to get you higher yield for your Int’l traffic.

The issue you/we ran into was that although new publishers over the past month have been getting categorized, all “veteran” publishers were still un-categorized and when we rolled last night’s update, we missed our step of assigning a default category to all un-categorized publishers. Without a category assignment, you got the WB CPC ad unit. All such publishers are now set to the “Unknown” Category, so you will get CPM Ads - BUT! You will want to go in and edit your widgets and your My Setting page to appropriately categorize your account and widgets to ensure proper ad types.

HINT: Matching your domain category to your widgets will ensure you get the highest possible CPM.
