WidgetBucks is a relatively new product-related PPC ad network that launched back in October. It has improved a lot since then and has left behind other product-related ad networks like AuctionAds, ShoppingAds and Chitika in competition.
MerchSense technology, well blended stylish flash ads and variety of ad sizes were all one of the main features of this ad network that made it unique from others. However recently the folks at WidgetBucks decided to pay only for the clicks generated through USA/Canada traffic which was a big disappointment for most of the publishers. WidgetBucks was initially doing a great job here at Sizlopedia until when the new PPC policy disturbed my overall earnings and I finally decided to remove WidgetBucks.
But the good news is that WidgetBucks is back with CPM ads. Means now you will be able to monetize your non-US traffic using WidgetBucks. This will help publishers make revenue through their website traffic and not through the ad clicks.
To get started, you will need to log into your WidgetBucks account and re-copy the Widget code under "My Widgets". After you replace the code on your site, the widget will update ad types automatically and for those who have not tried WidgetBucks yet I personally recommend them to use this ad network because of its efficient features.

Yes ur right, after this change I’ve decided to give this place again in my sidebar.
This is surely a good news for me that they have returned towards non-us traffic click revenues. By taking this step, It will get again its previous space from where it was removed.
Now that WidgetBucks has this new feature I hope it makes some money otherwise it has been a disappointment for me so far.
I don’t like their CPM ads. Too flashy and User-Repulsive.
I think I will again have to think whether I am going to use WidgetBucks or not.
If you find the CPM ads a bit naff, I’ve put together a script to show something else for non-US visitors.
It uses browser language settings as such is not perfect, by any means, but it works to a degree and allows you to put better ads in front of your international visitors. I’d be interested to hear how much it helps and if you have any other tips for limiting CPM impressions?
Thanks for sharing that Martin. I will test our the script.
Thanks for the info. so it means the huge traffic for non US can be monetized, hehe
Good work at all
Widgetbucks shows totally irrelevant ads, My sites are all about Beauty and Fashion but widgetbucks showed some links to music video and matrimonial sites which is ridiculous. I don’t live in the US but 99% of my traffic comes from the US, is there anything that can be done to get relevant ads?
