Widgetbucks Launches
WidgetBucks has rolled out a new ad widget style, giving publishers two display options for each of the eight sizes offered. The new ads are noted with a “B” (for “B Series”) in the pull-down menu of the “Customize Your Widget” page, where publishers can also see a preview before selecting with option to choose. Widgetbucks is Now Taking Canada and USA Traffic Only.
Widgetbucks is now only accecpting canadian and american traffic only. You will only be paid by widgetbucks for clicks from canada and the usa. This is great since canada is included and its not limited just to the usa. I am running widget bucks on my tv review site and the ads for plasma tv’s people are clicking like no tommorow. Widgetbucks has added Two “B” widgets (300×250 and 660×330) that offer search boxes within them, while one “C Series” widget the 300×250 medium square ad provides a simple top 10 product list without product images and reviews. Two examples of the new styles are sprinkled throughout this blog, and one static example is placed to the right.
One modification not previously highlighted here is the ability to adjust the product rotation interval, allowing publishers to vary the pace by which products are displayed in their widgets. The default rotation is 3 seconds, but can be set anywhere from 1 to 10 seconds per item.
