So it’s the end of the month and true to their word, WidgetBucks have extended their pay per click network to most of Western Europe. Before the extension of the scheme, if you were placing their advertising widgets on your website and you were outside North America, then you would see a replacement banner ad rather than their more lucrative animated product adverts.
While it was always possible to preview the ad widgets in your WidgetBucks account, it didn’t really help with actual placement on your sites. So now us folks over here in Europe can see our ads as well, as WidgetBucks intended them to look.
But what about those people still outside the list of approved pay per click countries?
Advertisers like WidgetBucks surely gain a lot of business from web designers and developers living outside of Europe? And of course they are usually responsible for creating more than one site so if they find WidgetBucks a good source of income, they’ll place them on many sites.
So Dear WidgetBucks , how about the option to put the Javascript that we drop in to our web sites into debug mode so that we can see the ad as it is meant to be. Of course any views and click when in debug mode would have to be disregarded, but I’m sure it would increase take up of this scheme.
Another alternative would be to allow the widget to be displayed if the request came from localhost.
Any one else have any ideas about how this could work?
