WidgetBucks: Scam or Legit?

(originally posted in November 2007)

Widgetbucks

A new ad based revenue company, opened on October 2nd, allowing bloggers, businesses and website owners to post ads and make money. It is very similar to google's adsense in a lot of ways. You post code on your page and get paid each time a customer click the animated ad to view a product. There are a number of products and catergories to choose from. Scroll down to the bottom of my page to see my 'green products' widgetbucks ad.

Big Bucks

First off, you get 25 dollars simply for signing up. Which is a good start.

Secondly, the pay per click is extremely high right now. I assume it must go down soon, or else the company will buckle before it begins. My current pay per click is 0.28 cents. Which is about 27 cents above my google adsense pay per click.

Widgetbucks a Scam?

Since widgetbucks program is literally not even one month old its hard to tell. I do know that the first payouts will be made fifty days from now. Which means we can not know until then. I figure its worth a shot to see if it is profitable, but I do think there is a very big possibility that widgetbucks is another scam site. One that will never pay your balances to you. I figure I will give it the alloted 50 days and make my judgment then. I am skeptical, but it is still on my page, so i have some hope.
