Widgetbucks – Update

I posted about widgetbucks a few days ago, which you can find HERE.

Just an update and some recommendations for those wanting to test it out.

First, I’ve found that widgetbucks does load pretty slow so be cautious of that.

Next, I tested it on a forum and boy did that bomb big time. If you own a forum, I’ve actually found doing image only google ads seems to work the best for me. You can see how I do ads on my forums here at one of my forums, MMOCC Forum.

Conclusion: Widgetbucks is best for blogs, product sites, and information sites. Integrating it above the fold is (obviously) the best way to increase revenue and click through rates.

Right now, I’m going to remove it from my forum, but keep it on my other information sites. I wanted to post some screenshots, but it’s actually against Widgetbucks terms of service. So I’ll just say, it’s good for me!

Hope that helps.
