Good news for WidgetBucks fans

In an earlier post I covered why I had pulled WidgetBucks from my blogs/sites (basically, you wouldn’t get any credit for any clicks originating from outside the US/Canada). Well, good news is coming, perhaps due to the number of people like myself who’d pulled it from their site(s)?

In December, WidgetBucks will be introducing a new widget. It will detect the geographical location of the visitor. If they are from the US/Canada, the “traditional” WidgetBucks widget we all know and love (ahem) will be displayed. If from another location, “then our system will determine a country- specific CPM ad to display.”.

This is potentially pretty good news. It was a tough decision to take down WidgetBucks as it generated a pretty good click through rate, but only for the 25% of my visitors that come from the US/Canada. Now it looks  like I might be putting it back on sometime soon.
