WidgetBucks delivers some improvements

October 26, 2007

I received this email from WidgetBucks this morning:

One of the concerns we’ve heard from many of you has been the slow loading times of our widgets. We really appreciate your feedback and comments in helping us improve in this area. So, today we addressed this issue by rolling out new code that ultimately delivers faster loading widgets.

It is very important to note that this update will require action on your part. You will need to update code of your existing widgets for the speedier load times to take affect on your site, blog or network. Know that changing the code will not impact earnings for any of your widgets.

Here are the two steps you’ll need to follow:

1. Sign-in to WidgetBucks and go to My Widgets
2. For each active widget, simply edit and re-copy the code block into your site or blog (the same steps you went through when you created the widgets originally)

Another option for updating code is to utilize the new categories and ad sizes we’ve incorporated over the last few weeks. Modifying a widget’s size or category — or creating an entirely new widget for that matter — will generate the new code that can then be re-copied to your site or blog.

I updated the code for one of my websites, and unfortunately I’ve not really seen any improvements in load time. :-(

    I don’t have my own blog but run a blog network, for a niche. Besides the slow load time you experienced has WidgetBucks been a good experience? I’m thinking of just sticking with tried and true adsense but idk at this point

    Matthew,

    The experience has been good so far. The CTRs have been good and the payouts even better! I would recommend that you give it a try, if you haven’t already done so.

Got something to say?
