Widgetbucks was very well received by blogger here because besides earning from cost per action, the ads also pays cost per clicks which bloggers with a considerable readership base, likes. It is an open secret that loyal readers rewards their favorite bloggers with a click or two to show their appreciation, so many popular bloggers does makes some decent money from those clicks. Unlike Adsense, where most of the Advertiser’s aim is to attract visitors to their sites, Advertisers in Widgetbucks are merchants hoping to sell something from the resulting clicks. So I guess it is only natural for them to be unhappy over the poor conversion rates received from clicks outside North America. After all, they are running a business.
Admittedly, people from this region buys a lot less online. Maybe we are less educated and sophisticated on this matter and coupled with the high exchange rate, the shipping cost and many other factors, buying something online especially from countries like the United States is indeed deterring.
