WidgetBucks Terms of Use and Program Policies

Just like Google Adsense, WidgetBucks has a set of Terms of Use and Program Policies that publishers need to adhere to in order to be properly credited for their earnings.

We have summarized below the highlights of those rules. Be reminded of the following so that you will not lose your earnings or, worse, your WidgetBucks account.

Invalid Clicks

WidgetBucks disallows any method that artificially and/or fraudulently generates clicks. These prohibited methods include but are not limited to: repeated manual clicks, using robots, automated clicking tools, or other deceptive software. You are also not allowed to click on your own Paid Listings to avoid potential inflation of advertiser costs.

Incentives to Click

The site must not require or prompt an end user to download a dialer in order to view content of the site. Incentives of any kind for users to click on ads are also prohibited. This includes encouraging users to click on the Paid Listings or to visit the advertisers' sites as well as labeling the Paid Listings with text other than "sponsored links" or "advertisements."

Use your PayPal account in Text Link Ads

Now that your PayPal Philippines account can accept payments, why not use it in Text Link Ads (TLA) — an advertising system that pays you to place advertisers' links in your sites?

Previously if you opted to be paid via check in TLA, it may take more than a month after the payout date before you actually receive the check. But with PayPal, funds are credited to your account on the payment date itself, every first day of the month. No more waiting period!

How does Text Link Ads (TLA) work? 

Once you have signed up, TLA will provide you with a small ad code that you have to place on your site. TLA then sells the ad space to advertisers. TLA splits with you the final sale price of any ads sold 50/50. Ads on a site are priced based on an algorithm that factors in the traffic of a website, site theme, and link popularity.

What are the ways to earn from TLA?

WidgetBucks — alternative to Google Adsense?

WidgetBucks is, in short, a money-making widget. Just like Google Adsense, you place a small code snippet in your site, the widget displays ads, and every time a visitor clicks on the ads or signs up as one of your referrals, you earn money.

When you sign up, you also get free $25 which is already halfway the minimum payout.

Online tracking of Adsense checks sent via DHL

Despite the $24 processing fee, using Secured Express Delivery to receive Google Adsense checks appears to be a better option than the Standard Delivery payment.

Aside from a shorter waiting period — 1 week vs. Standard Delivery’s 2-3 weeks — with Secured Express Delivery, Adsense publishers are assured the check will arrive at their doorsteps. Especially in the Philippines where incidences of stolen Adsense checks are prevalent, site publishers should opt for checks to be sent via DHL, lest they want to risk not receiving their checks at all.

Recently, Google Adsense implemented another payment method via Western Union Quick Cash. But if this option is not offered in your country or if you still prefer to receive Secured Express Delivery checks via DHL, here is how you can track your Adsense checks real-time.
