WidgetBucks ads loading slow? Look no further

Throughout the web - be it the forums or the blogosphere many have had complaints regarding the slow loading times for the WidgetBucks ads. While they are loading, it can cause the whole site to temporarily freeze, and god forbid explode if you have more than one. A very simple solution to this is using iframes.

In this situation, the iframe can be used to execute the HTML for the WidgetBucks ad while at the same time loading your regular site content without having any additional wait or "browser pausing". To do this, add your code to a HTML document named "widgetbucksad.html" (anything works) & place it in the same directory as where the ad page you're calling it from is. Then go to your desired ad location, put the following code in:

<iframe src="widgetbucksad.html" width="width" height="height" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" >
</iframe>

Be sure to modify the "width" and "height" according to your ad's specs.

Enjoy, and PEACE!

Is international CPM enough?

Okay, so WidgetBucks just announced their global CPM program today (clicky). My thoughts are positive, any change that makes anyone money seems like a good one, the only negative being that it gives a "permanent" feel. International users can make or break someone's traffic, even if it's only 10%, that's 10% less people who will: read your site, link to it, click your ads, check our your affiliate programs, etc.

When it comes to making money, the best traffic is the targeted, interested depending on the niche, most likely to click ads. This traffic is hard to come by, and by subsidizing international clicks for low-grade CPM traffic you leave a good amount of sites with a lopsided scale.

With an end to that little rant, I have some WIDGETSUCKS ANNOUNCEMENTS

• In the near future, we will be launching a WidgetSucks forum, for general discussions and support
  
• I need a haircut

And with that, I bid you adieu!

People getting paid! The tunnel shows light!

Fantastic news for the earlier publishers, but still very positive for those who registered later. It's a great reassurance to know that you will likely be getting paid for what your hard work has produced - (note the bold). Fear not those who have yet to receive money, WidgetBucks announced today that they will be paying the rest of the October earned publishers within the next week. This will likely lead to an influx in publishers, so hopefully WidgetBucks keeps their current RPC stable, or even better increase it.

One of the real "major" problems I still have with WidgetBucks that could be somewhat easily changed - users get tired of seeing the SAME ADS!! If I went to a site daily, and the exact ad for Labtops appeared every view, i'd of course ignore it and subconsciously mark it as spam. It'd certainly be wise for WidgetBucks to have options to rotate categories, say computers, televisions, labtops, etc. But again, this is a positive post so let's just leave it at that, with a thumbs up to WidgetBucks!
