Widget bucks yesterday didnt show up ads on my website which had heavy traffic and i guess this made me lose a good amount of revenue loss for me. followed is a screenshot of the same which was comming as a live version on my gadgets related website.
Though the widget bucks ppc is high paying and widget bucks beats adsense and adbrite the ads are getting a very extremely low ctr since the ads take still a hell lot of time to load up on my website and very less number of ads come though the size chosen is 160×600 (or) 728×90.
Also the 25$ free signup offer is still going on , you can still signup with them now and make couple extra bucks using this system. Also dont forget that to get maximum returns from this pay per click company you need to run it on the websites which have gadget, mobile phones, electronics etc related content because this is the only way the company can expect some sales and can pay you 
They have also updated the following on their blog recently which says :
As a result, we’ve updated our program policies to no longer approve or accept non-English language sites into the WidgetBucks ad network.
I recognize this bursts a great Google-smack down storyline here, guys. Sorry. We had a simple server configuration oversight as it pertained to page redirects which caused the Google Crawler (GoogleBot) to fail when attempting to index our widgetbucks.com site. (see screen shot). We’ve fixed the issue at this point, but naturally it takes a little time before we begin showing up in the SERPs.
One of the concerns we’ve heard from many of you has been the slow loading times of our widgets. We really appreciate your feedback and comments in helping us improve in this area. So, today we addressed this issue by rolling out new code that ultimately delivers faster loading widgets.
Currently the 25$ Sign up credit is already shown on everyone’s account, but the referral revenue would be shown in the early next month, let me know how is your widget bucks experiance.

I think the load is too high on them… they did not expect this much response… so they r slow… they might make their servers fast soon…

They are precisely advertising them as alternate of adsense. So they should also take care of their updates as adsense…

I think that they are a Big Scam. They just got overwhelming traffic that really got them down.

Mpire is a big corporate company and i dont think they are a scam, because when chitika was launched they also got a lot of bad review and finally now you can check out chitika is #2 blog advertising company.
Every new product gets both positive and negative reviews and the developers have to be ready to accept them.

It’s mpire so not worried about a scam. I do like widget bucks. Over 30K publishers in just 30 days so someone must like them give this company time and I’m sure they will make it.
