Widget Bucks is a brand new way for bloggers and site owners to monetize their domains. It is very comparable to Chitika eMiniMalls, and the ad units come in a few different sizes. The unit is interactive and shows products based on the category you select, or pulls keywords from your content to show relevant products.
Making Widget Bucks
Widget Bucks pays you on per click {CPC} basis, which shouldn’t be that bad as the unit looks much better than the Chitika units. Plus if you sign up for Widget Bucks now you get a $25 signup bonus, pay outs are made via check or paypal at $50. I’m pretty sure you can make $25 pretty quick with this widget.
Features
- You can set up multiple widgets for various channels
- Reporting page has all the information you would want to know about your ad units performance
- If you do product related blogging you can’t lose with a unit like this
- Affiliates can earn a 10 percent referral fee based on the commissions earned by the people they refer
- It looks promising right now, but still needs some work done to it
I’m testing them on my blog right now, on the single post pages. What do you think about it?

I have it up on my sports site, but I don’t expect it to really be awesome or anything because of my site’s content.
First time putting a banner up at the top as well…we’ll see how it goes.

Has anyone made more than the initial $25 from programs like this? I would be interested if it showed potential.

Well since it just launched, like today, I think it will take a few weeks for more data to be processed and testimonials to emerge.

I think you’d do OK from this. Like anything else it depends on your traffic and the context of the advertisement. If you can specify products categories etc it should be fine.

wow the referral fee that can be earned could make this really worth while. Sounds a lot like Dealdotcom. Also $25 is a sweet bonus.

I’ve heard that their click approval system takes long - up to 24h. So tracking is a little bit slow so far, hope they improve it soon. I will give it a try these days.

Its about referring people to banks who will apply for credit cards. The bank will inturn pay you referral bonuses. The trick is that you get paid even if your friends refer their friends.
Say, you refer 5 of your friends and each of your friend also refers 5 people.

widget bucks has been working great for me. I placed it on my product specific sites and am getting more from widget bucks then from adsense. If your blog is not product specific you will run into ctr issues. For example a health blog would be a bad idea to have this on. A cell phone blog would be excellent.
