Widgetbucks’ advertisers don’t like traffic from the Philippines

It’s official. Traffic and clicks on Widgetbucks ads coming from the Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, China, Egypt, and Romania are not credited and will not be paid.

That’s according to a post in the official blog of Widgetbucks:

What are the non-paying countries or regions?

We are finding that advertisers are not willing to buy traffic from Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, China, Egypt, and Romania.

It’s really important to mention this is an advertiser decision regarding the value of that traffic, NOT WidgetBucks’ decision. We repeat: this is an advertiser decision regarding the value of that traffic, NOT WidgetBucks’ decision. I emphasize this because publishers, for whatever reason, will undoubtedly and incorrectly draw the conclusion it is solely WidgetBucks’ decision.

It’s game over for AGLOCO

We knew it was coming, and now it’s official: pay-to-surf program AGLOCO is dead.

The same guys who owned and ran a similar program called AllAdvantage in early 2000 reinvented the business and launched AGLOCO.com late last year. They thought they already learned the makings of a successful “get-paid-to-surf-the-net,” but, from the looks of it, they did not.

It’s now the end of the road for AGLOCO, but unlike AllAdvantage where members were paid more than $160 million before going under, AGLOCO’s members did not see even a single cent.

Earn more money online with Google Adsense Referral ads

The enhanced Referrals 2.0 program of Google Adsense now gives publishers more flexibility in offering a variety of products and services that match a site’s niche, ranging from, say, Computers & Electronics to Cars & Automotive to Beauty & Personal Care.

But one particular thing that webmasters like the most about this program is the fact that they can actually endorse products and even direct site visitors to click on the ads and try the products.

That’s what we have been doing with Adsense’s Referral ads on this site. Last week, we optimized our referral ads and conspicuously placed them at the Top-Center portion of the page, also adding the come-on title “Google’s Freebies.”

The result? Today, our referral income alone has already fetched $71.00++, beating the $23-in -one-day record registered in October — and the day’s not over yet.

Make more money online using Google Adsense's Referrals Program.

Here are some tips to optimize referral ads on your site to help you earn more money.

WidgetBucks is banned in Google and they know why

Google is at war again.

Yesterday, it slapped a lot of websites with a PageRank (PR) downgrade to send a signal that it hates paid text link ads. Now, it has been discovered that Google is also against WidgetBucks, a recently launched widget advertising program, apparently because of hidden text links.

Go to Google.com and try searching for “WidgetBucks” or “widgetbucks.com”. Chances are you won’t see its official site (www.widgetbucks.com) on the first page of the results. In fact, you won’t see it even on the next 10 pages.

Why?

Because Google has banned the site from appearing in the search results.

But why?

WidgetBucks Terms of Use and Program Policies

Just like Google Adsense, WidgetBucks has a set of Terms of Use and Program Policies that publishers need to adhere to in order to be properly credited for their earnings.

We have summarized below the highlights of those rules. Be reminded of the following so that you will not lose your earnings or, worse, your WidgetBucks account.

Invalid Clicks

WidgetBucks disallows any method that artificially and/or fraudulently generates clicks. These prohibited methods include but are not limited to: repeated manual clicks, using robots, automated clicking tools, or other deceptive software. You are also not allowed to click on your own Paid Listings to avoid potential inflation of advertiser costs.

Incentives to Click

The site must not require or prompt an end user to download a dialer in order to view content of the site. Incentives of any kind for users to click on ads are also prohibited. This includes encouraging users to click on the Paid Listings or to visit the advertisers' sites as well as labeling the Paid Listings with text other than "sponsored links" or "advertisements."
