Widgetbucks Ban alot of acounts Today.

Saturday, November 10th, 2007

It seems many people got banned from Widgetbucks.
Reasons of Ban verie depending sites and users : ( Clicks Fraud , putting ads in pages with no content …)

This ban is happening in a crucial time when the Finalized earnings will be Posted ,

Now many users suspect about the credibility of this company :

Normally an advertising company would have some counter-measures in place to identify and prevent click fraud. Not only would it build trust with advertisers, but publishers would not be penalized for something they essentially have no control of. It’s a two way street and WidgetBucks is smack in the middle. It’s their network, so they should assume some responsibility for protecting everyones interests - which helps protect theirs as well. Too bad WidgetBucks does not have click fraud counter-measures. The negative publicity and loss of high traffic sites publishing their ads will hurt in the long run. ( by Snowbird)

Anyway this company need more time to win the trust of webmasters .
