WidgetBucks announces Yieldsense
January 23rd, 2008
Wow!
Based upon recent successes (1 billion ads served in 83 days= $1 mil at 1/2 penny per ad) Widgetbucks has formed what they call the “WidgetBucks Customer Council”.
This group is used as a way interpret customer response to new ideas.
One of the new ideas they are working on is called YieldSense.
YieldSense is a contextual PPC widget designed to deliver the highest yield ads based upon previous performance.
The experts say it more eloquently:
One example of new features and technology being tested by the WBCC is YieldSense(TM), a contextual, pay-per-click (PPC) ad widget that displays the highest yielding product categories and ad creative based on a revenue score that is automatically generated from past performance. We anticipate YieldSense (and specific details about it) to be more widely available in February.
What does this mean?
Does this mean that a WidgetBucks widget placed on your blog will deliver the most relevant ad to the individual viewing your page? Or does it mean that the ad served is the most popular among other like minded surfers?
I also think that they are trying to serve up the most profitable ad (profitable for the publisher) and I see this as maybe not sitting well with advertisers. It would be the same as Google Adsense telling everyone what the most expensive keywords (Adwords) are and then delivering them to everyones blog or website.
This would result in higher advertising prices and a drop in publisher payouts. A win win for WidgetBucks…until advertisers pull out.
Interesting!

lemonade stand Set up and sell
November 24th, 2007Use this widget to sell to your readers
Lemonade.com offers a revenue share store front where you can select a general category of products to sell to your readers. The product list includes offerings from major retailers such as Wal Mart, Netflix, At&t iTunes and more.
Lemonade says that you, as the publisher and promoter of your stand, will earn 80% of the commission from each sale. Your PayPal account will be credited each time you reach $10 in earned commission. Some of the wording on the Lemonade site indicated that you might be paid simply for clicks on products without an actual purchase. Maybe I am reading this incorrectly.
So here is the text as found on the Lemonade site:
Visitors to your web page or profile will see your lemonade stand and click on the products and offers that you recommend. Each time a visitor clicks on or buys something from your lemonade stand, you make money. As a lemonade stand owner, you keep 80% of all revenue generated (from retailer commissions, leads and referrals, and advertising placements from your stand and we keep 20% for setting up all of this stuff and making it super easy for you. When you reach a minimum balance of $10.00 we will credit your account via PayPal.
Flash widget
