Lately, there has been some buzz on sites using WidgetBucks on non-English sites. In their terms thay say that you can only use WB on sites other than English if ou ask for permission. Many people (including me) haven’t paid attention to this and have been using on non english sites.

I wrote an email a couple of days asking for permition, and today i received the answer, and has i expected, i don’t have permission to use on a non english site, in this case, it was a portuguese forum.

Here it is the mail they sent to me:

Thank you for contacting us.

We have reviewed your request and we do not give permission to use WidgetBucks widgets on the site you indicate. Please remove any widgets you may already have placed.

We have a responsibility to deliver quality traffic to the mostly U.S.-based merchants in our network. We have several strict filters and audits that help insure the traffic delivered has a high likelihood of conversion to sale. This is also one of the reasons for several of our policies in the terms of service.

Our terms of service, related to sites that are not primarily English languages, have not changed since our launch. The relevant section is Exhibit A, WidgetBucks Program Policies, under the heading “Language”. It says: “The Widget code may be placed on pages with content primarily in English. Widgets must not be displayed on any page with content primarily in an unsupported language, without prior written consent from Mpire.”. Please refer to our terms of service at: http://www.widgetbucks.com/terms.page.

Thank you for your understanding.

That’s to bad for me because the ads on my portuguese forum were doing good. SO i have decided to create an english targeted for these kind of ads and for US traffic.

The site is http://www.home-shopping-network.info/ and i hope to have it online next week.
