Dear WidgetBucks Publisher,
As a valuable business partner of WidgetBucks, we wanted to get in touch with you regarding a recent concern.
As you may have noticed over the last few days, there has been some erosion of Revenue-Per-Click rates (RPCs) in some categories -- and getting those RPC numbers back up is top priority for us right now.
We're finding the key issue is network quality. You know, as do we, that network quality affects lead value to merchants. If conversion-to-sale decreases, it affects the RPCs merchants are willing to pay. This is exactly what we're seeing with WidgetBucks.
We wanted to make sure you were looped in to our plans to restore RPCs, which we anticipate will be recovering over the next seven days:
First, we're going to continue a significant amount of account suspensions in cases where the Terms of Use are being violated, such as for Click Fraud, Ad-Only Pages, and Non-English Sites.
Second, we are no longer charging merchants for international traffic, that is, users coming from outside of the U.S. and Canada. As a result, international click traffic will be redirected to non-paid pages, specifically www.mpire.com. Therefore no publisher credit will be given for those clicks, starting mid-November.
Third, we are beginning to gate subscriber registrations – in other words, every new account registered will require approval prior to placing our ads.
For more details, we've also published a formal/public post on Network Quality and RPCs on the WidgetBucks blog (http://widgetbucks.blogspot.com). Again, it should be a week or less before the RPCs are recovered.
Thanks for your understanding around this crucial issue, and for your patience as we solve it. We appreciate your continued work with us.
