Make Money Online with WidgetBucks.com: Widget PPC Style Ads

Sunday, 07 October 2007

There’s another PayPerClick style advertising company in town and it’s WidgetBucks! Well you might have seen JohnChow talking about WidgetBucks, probably because they have bought a review off his site and like other money making opportunities, I have doubts on whether this site really work.

I have tested a few widget type ads modules like

1. AuctionAds
2. Kontera
3. Blogkits
4. and some that I don’t really remember because they just didn’t work

Don’t get me wrong – it’s great to have a widget with pictures showing what type of products that people could buy but you’ll need to target your audience to get the sales going. Or unless you have a site with 3,000 unique visitors daily you probably could earn a healthy income by affiliate sales.

What makes WidgetBucks special is -

You’ll earn each time someone click on your widget. If you see their main page – they boast that they pay better than $2 CPM. If you don’t know what CPM means it’s actually cost per thousand (It’s NOT Cost Per Click or rather CPC). $2 for a click is great but if $2 for 1,000 visitors to your site, you are only earning $0.002 per visitor which is way wayyy wayyyyyy low. In this case, you’re better off with Adsense rather than WidgetBucks. Or rather if you earn up to $7 per CPM and if your site has 5,000 uniques per month, you’ll only earn $35 bucks per month ($0.007x5,000).

One thing that I really like about WidgetBucks is their referral tool. You’ll earn a cool 10% referral fee based on the sales that the person you referred and it’s only valid for a year.

I don’t know what you think about WidgetBucks, but with sites that

1. has low traffic
2. isn’t talking about IT gadgets or electronics

Won’t make a buck off WidgetBucks.

If you think that you want to try out their widget – refer me :) I’d like to know whether this really works or not.
