I use several email addresses and the other day I received a promotional email from WidgetBucks. I am actually already a member. This is part of what the email said:"Are you tired of low-paying ineffective ads cluttering your website? WidgetBucks has the remedy! WidgetBucks offers Interactive ads that bring in some of the highest paying eCPM rates around. Our hybrid CPM/CPC ads are guaranteed to make your blog look much more appealing to your audience and bring in the big bucks."And one of the reasons they gave to join WidgetBucks was that it would give 'Higher ad revenue for your site or blog.'
All sounds very good but I've been trying out WidgetBucks again recently as a trial on one of my blogs. Here are the latest figures of what I have earned.
So their 'highest paying rates' made me $0.75 for 8540 page impressions. So perhaps not quite as it appears as per the sales patter in the email.
I then took the statistics a stage further for the whole of this year. This time the figures showed.
From this you can see I had WidgetBucks on over one million page impressions and this made me just over $115. That's $0.106 per 1000. Still not too impressive is it?
Now what was it they were saying in that email? Oh, yes, "Are you tired of low-paying ineffective ads .."
I'll leave the post there as I think the figures speak for themselves. All that glitters is not gold.
Good luck,
Mike.
