We have added two new ad sizes on WidgetBucks, giving publishers and bloggers more options for their sidebars. Rolled into the fold is a 160x300 sidebar size, essentially a shorter, more "vertically-challenged" version of the original 160x600 wide skyscraper size. The other new size is a more narrow 120x600 skyscraper. Later this week, we'll be adding a few new creative options in 728x90 and 300x250 sizes.
We've also incorporated 11 new categories, including Green Living, Oprah's Book Club, U.S.-Made Lead-Free Toys, and just in time for the campaign trail, popular Left and Right Wing books (in separate categories, of course). The Green Living category includes a few so-called "cradle-to-cradle" items which are getting media attention lately, kind of Green 2.0, while recent toy recalls should make the lead-free toy list popular to visitors.
A few live examples are currently running on this blog, and a 160x300, US-made lead-free toys screen shot is at right. Here's the complete list of new categories:
- Green living
- Oprah Winfrey's Book Club list
- Liberal left books
- Conservative right books
- US-made lead-free toys
- Cartoon collections
- Top comic books
- Pet dogs
- Pet cats
- Women's ageless skin care
- Men's ageless skin care
- Dean

what about the loadings? couldnt you take the loading because its really slows down my navegations speed and the people who sees my blog!
thnks
Great to see the new categories and ad sizs. Makes it allot easier to get the right category and size for our websites/Blogs.
All going well.
I have also problem of slow loading, however my widget is slightly lower on my blog which acts like little trick. When user browse down widget loads in the meantime.
More categories and sizes is great move.

Yeah I am finding the loading times are slow aswell, once you place a few on a page,
when I am tracking the Page views compared to widget bucks impression count - the Widgets are falling well short - about 80% short actually.
So for 5000 uniques widgetbucks shows a total of 1000 impressions.
You really need to speed up the loading time of these units. I dont think readers can wait that long! :-)
It seems lots of bloggers are facing loading problem. And everyone is saying loading time is too much and visitors don wait. Coz of loading time i just use only one unit at my site. If you improve loading time i can place more units. This issue is wide so you must have to do something quickly if you are really serious in this PPC business.
Why you don provide option to choose more than one category for one widget??
If you provide to choose more than one category in one widget we need not to place individual widget for individual category so loading time of page will not increase if we want to show ads from two category on one page.
widgetbucks is going nice way but I hav got some queries.1) what about deleted widgets? 2) the customer care centre doesn't attend our queries 3)what about the payments in my country.Am i going to get payments in USD or INR(Indian Rs.)?
I would also like to inform widgetbucks that refrral programme of adsense is much better they give 255$ for every refrral that reaches the payout of 100$ and 2000$ bonous for 25 refrrals if they reach their payout within their respective 6 months.I would like widetbucks answer my query at ankil19@hotmail.com .Ya the plan of allowing people to have a dilogue for their defense in case of fraud clicks is a very good move better than adsense

hi
what about to put the ads in site which have english and non english cotents but not in the same pages?
what also if the contents is in the same pages but the primary language not english?
WidgetBucks IS GREAT but there is a small problem !
the WidgetBucks ads in my site load only when its on the top of all the windows and when the ads is on the screen !!!! WidgetBucks ads can load faster then now .
sorry for my eng. ;)
Is there anyway that you can make the ads 250 x 250?
