I'm not an affiliate marketer but stumbled upon your blog a month or two ago. Located just south of you in Toms River, it's nice to hear about someone local to my area doing well on the web. Certainly some quality stuff you have posted up here, well done.

I wanted to chime in with my personal experience with WidgetBucks. I don't think their tracking system is accurate at all. I've setup their ads to run on a small site I've been developing which doesn't receive too much traffic (200-400 page views per day). I use OpenAds to serve all of the ads on the site. The number of ad impressions tracked by WidgetBucks is consistently less than what OpenAds tracks (which has proved to be very accurate when serving and comparing impressions with other ads, including Google AdSense). Sometimes the numbers Widget Bucks has are half of that tracked by OpenAds.

OpenAds also runs some JavaScript to track clicks, while I concede that setup is not 100% accurate, it's again proved consistent for other ads served including Google Adsense. Any clicks registered by OpenAds never seems to get reported by WidgetBucks.

Working with these relatively small numbers it's easy for spot inconsistency in the tracking. If they fail to properly track and report impressions at my level, it certainly should raise some question marks for publishers who get considerably more ad impressions. I've again put the ads up to see how their tracking now fairs. They will stay up for a week or so and I'll compare the numbers to see how they add up.

To be honest I dont like the John Chow TTZ affiliated program I removed them from my main site, it was slowing down my website,and it only allows one click per IP address

I am given TTZ another try on my arcade website.

One thing I dont like about widgetbucks is there payout it takes 45 days of the ending month to get paid.

Can I put WidgetBucks on my site if I'm not based in the US?

Yes, as long as the site meets the terms of service. Please be aware that our terms of service does not allow non-english sites without prior written consent. Widgetbucks can be placed on any site that has traffic. Because all of the products are from US based merchants and are in US dollars, the likelihood of click conversion is greater for a US targeted audience, but you can still use WidgetBucks on Non-U.S. based sites.

I'm Canadian.. getting a bit worried!
