Just in case anybody missed this reply to my question about WidgetBucks accepting foreign clicks again:-

“Hi Paul – Thanks for your post and bringing this issue to our attention. You will be seeing a public post from us shortly on some CPM changes, but here is a preview:

Last night we implemented a new Int’l CPM model where every publisher/domain is categorized for CPM traffic. Categorized CPM placements are paid higher CPM by Advertisers, so this change is intended to get you higher yield for your Int’l traffic.

The issue you/we ran into was that although new publishers over the past month have been getting categorized, all “veteran” publishers were still un-categorized and when we rolled last night’s update, we missed our step of assigning a default category to all un-categorized publishers. Without a category assignment, you got the WB CPC ad unit. All such publishers are now set to the “Unknown” Category, so you will get CPM Ads – BUT! You will want to go in and edit your widgets and your My Setting page to appropriately categorize your account and widgets to ensure proper ad types.

HINT: Matching your domain category to your widgets will ensure you get the highest possible CPM.

WidgetBucks Team”

So there you have it, if you want to earn more with WidgetBucks CPM ads don’t forget to align your site category with your advert category.
