Independent Widgetbucks Blog

I think you should read the Widgetbucks official blog wrote about the misperception relates to back-links and why they removed them.
“Our original intent behind including back-links was pretty plain and simple: if a user did not have the Flash Player installed, we wanted to show a link to WidgetBucks, and disabling javascript does nothing more than reproduce the No-Flash-Player case, since javascript is used to load the flash player. We removed the back-link based on publisher feedback about not being allowed to modify the HTML to place a “no-follow” for SEO purposes. So rather than grant permission to modify the HTML we provide, we simply removed the back-link.”

Does it mean that Google is really free from backlinks? And does Widgetbucks really banned by Google SERPs?

3. Why did they include the display domain in the configuration of a widget? There are much better ways to authorize or claim a site. How would you use this widget on 7000 blogs?
4. This is the initial launch - they claim it is possible to achieve an effective CPM (cost per thousand impressions) of between $3 and $6 - is that before or after click fraud reductions? [Read more →]
