WidgetBucks, one of the internet fastest growing ad network has announced that starting January 15, they’ll gonna stop the $25 sign-up bonus on their new accounts. Which means new publisher should work more harder to achieve the $50 minimum payout.

The company also announced that they will made some adjustment on their referral commission instead of giving 10% referral commission before, it will turn to 5%. But this will only affect on new accounts, while existing account will still enjoy the 10% referral commission.

In short, all adjustment will not affect existing members. Widgetbucks might have some reasons why they made some changes with their bonus and referral commission. Could this be a bad sign? Hope it’s not

   glitch: it will only affect new account but I’ll respect on your decision on taking it out.

   lankapo: hehehe same as I did . But I still have plans to continue on their affiliates referral and I’m still under the 10% commission

   ghee: yes mami ghee . i’m glad your still counted on the $25 bonus . Entrecard is one way where you can gain traffic.

   My personal feeling about WidgetBucks is that they’ve got some serious issues.

   I do not use them, so can’t comment on whether or not their advertising provides a decent return on investment.

   However, their widget loads so slowly and hangs up my entire browser for so long, I’m now making a list of blogs which use it, and am avoiding them like the plague.

   So, you tell me… if I won’t visit because you’re using WidgetBucks, what’s that gonna do to all the other ads (including Entrecard)?

   I’d advise everyone who’s serious about monetizing a blog to use something that loads quickly, you have as much control as possible over, won’t cost you an arm and a leg… and provides you a decent return.

   Shari: I use WB widget before and you’re right their widget hangs up your browser even though they made some explanation about it I’m still not convinced on their reasons.
