WidgetBucks Expand Their PPC Network

Posted by Paul B | July 17, 2008 .

I like WidgetBucks, they send me money every month (well all accept when there was that little mix-up with my Tax-ID info). It’s probably fair to say though that I loved them a little more when they first started out and were paying PPC for traffic from all over the world. Unfortunatly for me and a number of other publishers they soon switched to PPC for only North American traffic and left us to only earn PPM (pay per thousand impressions) from traffic from anywhere else. The payment rate for PPM traffic was really bad and I know this hit a lot of publsihers hard in the wallet. I guess it was a decision that was understandable, if most of their advertisers were US based and weren’t getting any ROI from foreign traffic then it’s a bit hard to ask them to pay for it!

The great news is that after what I assume to be refinements to their systems WidgetBucks are going to start paying PPC for traffic from other countries again. This week traffic from the UK will start to pay PPC with traffic from Germany, France, Italy, Holland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Belgium all to follow soon. Whilst it may not be perfect it will surely help to put a few more pennies in the pot.

    Not related to this post, but I caught your comment on Shoemoney.com about your typo domain shooemoney.com - I think it would be pretty fascinating if you wrote about the traffic that a domain like that can supply. Just a thought.
