WidgetBucks: the Internet's fastest growing ad network

I've been keeping a close eye on this new starter for the last month or so. WidgetBucks is getting good reviews from a lot of people at the moment - let's have a look and see why:



What is WidgetBucks?:
WidgetBucks is a promising new semi-contextual advertising program. Their attractive widgets advertise material goods of relevance to the website on which they are placed. Payment is earned either on a per click or impression basis, depending on where the traffic originates from.

How does WidgetBucks work?:
Publishers sign up to the program, generate some advertising widgets and embed the widget code on their site. Ads are displayed immediately and begin to earn CPM (impression) revenue right away. They also pay on a CPC (per click) basis for clicks generated in the US or Canada.

What do WidgetBucks ads look like?:
Just like this:



The ad size and colour can be customised to blend in with your site. Remember that the ads are dynamic so they will cycle through a range of different products during each impression.

What does WidgetBucks pay?:
WidgetBucks pays in two ways - for clicks from North America (CPC) and for impressions from elsewhere (CPM).

Is it AdSense safe?:
The widgets are non-contextual and dynamic - they don't look or work in the same way as AdSense ad units so are perfectly safe to use alongside AdSense.

What about a referral program?:
WidgetBucks publishers receive 5% of the earnings of their referrals for a 12 month period.

How and when does WidgetBucks pay?:
WidgetBucks pays by either USD check or PayPal. Payment is sent within 45 days of the end of the month in which you reach the $50 minimum payout. As with similar programs if you don't make the $50 minimum payment is rolled over to the next month.

Summary:
WidgetBucks seems to be one of the best alternative to Adsense at the present. If you have been banned from AdSense then do give it a try!

Why You Want Fast Hosting for AdSense Sites

It may not seem to be obvious at the first glance why you want a fast and reliable hosting for AdSense sites — and virtually any of your content site that you create specificaly to earn money from contextual advertising or other advertising programs.

First, let us make it clear.

You can host your site on free hosting service. Nothing is going to stop you. During your application, it may increase your chance to be accepted into the program if you have a professional site with your own domain.

But, really, after being accepted, you can take any low quality hosting service and use it for any of your new site.

The thing, I recommend that you always go for the fastest and greatest hosting you can afford for several reasons. It better has to be reliable too. Why?

1. It increases your professionalism

Don’t expect everyone run on broadband. Many people are still on dialup, although broadband penetration is certainly going up. So you optimize your page to load in a breeze.

The sad thing is, with slow hosting which hiccups during peak time, you have just ruined your hard work. Click! Your visitor has just clicked anywhere else, instead of your AdSense ads.

2. It caters to low attention span problem

People have shorter attention span online. It develops over time as there are more pages to choose and read everyday. If your whole page, including Google AdSense ad blocks don’t load in a few short seconds, they are not going to wait.

The back button is just one click away…

Remember that AdSense ads are loaded based on JavaScript code. Although it is a safe bet that Google is usually fast, still you need to load the page fast enough before user browser can start querying for the ads.

3. It increases your income.

Yes, it really does. For every visitor that you miss because of your sluggish hosting, for every minute or even second it goes down, you have just lost your AdSense dollar.

This is not something you can afford, especially given the fact that there are inexpensive hosting packages that actually deliver values.

You usually get what you pay, but never accept anything less.
