If you have been following and reading my posts about PayPal, you will notice that there really is a way to make money using PayPal through PayPal’s Merchant Referral Bonus Program. It is wherein you are entitled to receive a portion of transaction amounts of the people you referred to PayPal. Last month, I received referral bonuses to my PayPal account. This month, just last week, I received another round of PayPal bonuses. Isn’t that nice and rewarding? Passive income that is.

I have just received this email from WidgetBucks. I guess they’ve consider some International market at all. Good news to Non-US/Canada publishers. So Non-US/Canada publishers, What’s your take on this make money online strategy by WidgetBucks? Do you still want to put WidgetBucks ads back on your site? Marhgil, after all, will be getting his October earnings soon. Good for you buddy.

Dear WidgetBucks Publishers,

We’re seeing strong traffic on the WidgetBucks shopping widgets during this holiday season and wanted to tell you about three things: new International CPM Ads, removing pending data, and payments coming soon.

International CPM Ads

Here’s an upcoming feature. In early December, we will start 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). You’ll see a new column, called “CPM Revenue” in your earnings reports.

We’re also working on pay-per-click arrangements with global merchants, but those will take longer to implement. We’re glad to deliver a way for you to monetize almost all of your traffic in December. Please check our blog at http://widgetbucks.blogspot.com for further updates on this.

Removing Pending Data

We’d like to give you some advance notice of a pending change that will help publishers manage their business. Next week, we will remove the “pending” data from the “My Widgets” page. This data is the numbers that are displayed in red. Instead we will only display audited data in black.

We’re making this change because we’ve worked with our merchant partners and succeeded in speeding up the auditing process, which many of our publishers requested. Audits now take up to 24 hours, instead of the previous timeframe of up to 72 hours.

When we make this change next week, you will only see audited figures (in black) and they will be displayed by noon (Pacific Standard Time) of the following day. So, by noon on Tuesday, you’ll be able to see all of your confirmed clicks, revenue, and RPCs for Monday.

This change will remove confusion about the red pending figures, and frustration about changes from the pending to audited figures. Thus the clicks and revenue you see will be the confirmed clicks and revenue, which will then not change. Please check our blog for more info: http://widgetbucks.blogspot.com.

First payments coming soon!

We’re very excited that our first set of payments are lined up to go out early next week. Our deadline is by December 15^th (45 days after the end of October), but we are working very hard to get them out to everyone at the beginning of December.

We would like to remind you that we need correct payment information from you to be able to send you your payments. Please go to the My Settings page and indicate if you want to be paid by check or by PayPal. Reminder: PayPal is faster. Checks are sent regular U.S. mail. All payments are in U.S. dollars.

If we don’t have your correct payee information and mailing address or your correct PayPal e-mail address, we won’t be able to send you money. So please go to https://www.widgetbucks.com/mySettings.page and make sure the information is there and correct.

Happy earning!

The WidgetBucks Team

Good news to Kontera publishers. I’ve just received email that Kontera now offers Paypal for Publisher payment.

Dear Kontera Partner,

Did you know that we are offering payment through PayPal for our publishers? Instead of waiting for your check to arrive by mail, the income from your site will be automatically and securely transferred to your PayPal account.

Start reaping the benefits of PayPal and get your payments sooner!

Please be advised that PayPal payments still follow Kontera standard payment terms.

• Our payment terms are Net 30, first week of the month, when balance exceeds US$100.
• This means we send publishers their revenue by check or EFT, the first week of the month, 30 days after the month that they have earned this revenue, when the account balance reaches US$100, unless a payment hold exists or unless otherwise agreed to in writing (including electronic mail).
• For example, if you earn $40 in January and $70 in February, we’ll send payment to you the first week of April.
• If your account balance is less than US$100 at the end of the month, earnings over US$5 (for all your sites combined) is rolled forward to the following month, until the payment threshold is reached.
• Please note that if a publisher’s account is found to be in violation of our Terms and Conditions, agreements or policies, we may at any time withhold payment (beginning from when Kontera initiates its investigation of potential violations), charge back the publisher’s account, and/or refund advertisers for clicks received on the publisher’s site.

If you have any other account updates, such as your address, your phone number, email address etc. simply reply to this email indicating the changes you want us to make.As always, we look forward to continuing our successful partnership with you, and implementing even more tools to enhance your experience with us in the coming months. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions at support@kontera.com

Thank you,

Kontera Technologies
