I just checked my mail, and I received the following message from Widgetbucks:

Dear WidgetBucks Publishers,

As mentioned in our email at the end of November, today we have successfully launched International CPM ads to be included in our Widgets.

We are now serving CPM ads to the non-U.S./Canada traffic. This will give you revenue, per impression, for your site visitors who come from other countries. This is designed to help publishers who have a blend of traffic from a variety of countries.

Our system will do the geo-location for you, determining where the visitor is coming from. Then we’ll either show the regular pay-per-click widget (to visitors from the U.S. and Canada) or show an ad that pays per impression (to visitors from other countries).

To get started, you will need to log into your WidgetBucks account and re-copy the Widget code under “My Widgets”. After you replace the code on your site, the widget will update ad types automatically.

We’re also proud to mention that we’ve been selected as a finalist for the Open Web Awards. We invite you to visit the site and vote for WidgetBucks!

If you have any questions about the launch of International CPM ads, please contact us at http://support.mpire.com

Happy earning!

The WidgetBucks Team

I posted a few weeks ago about Widgetbucks’ move on stopping non-North American traffic of publishers from being paid. From the email they just sent it seems they are still interested in international publishers aside from the ones in the US and Canada. I’ll try and add their widget back and see if it does work since its based on impressions for the International CPM ads. If it doesn’t work that well, I’ll take it off since it sometimes hangs the screen, especially for the ones using dial-up connections.
