Is anyone using this? I watched the video and it looks pretty interesting. I was hoping to get some feedback before signing up though.

Just some quick notes I found on widgetbucks.

The ads are flash based. And that can slow down a users computer. Plus they look advertisements look scammy. If I saw adverts, like the ones of the site, I would be cautious about their content. They look very big, and remind me of sites that use "swat the fly and win an ipod ads."

I've never used it but the guy at Problogger seems to speak highly of them. I ran across this a couple days ago:

How I Make Money Blogging - Top Income Streams Update (http://www.problogger.net/archives/2008/06/04/how-i-make-money-blogging-top-income-streams-update/)

It's from June last year but it should still be relevant.

I don't read that site, do you know him to be fairly objective? I tend to shy away from reviews that have affiliate links, that's why I like to get feedback on forums before trying out new things.

I have a feeling he has weeded through the affiliate crap and pulled out a few that seem to be legit - and my reason for saying that is his site has great quality info and I hate affiliate garbage as much as you do.

Steve put me on to this guy and so far I have no complaints. Top quality info - if I find any garbage I'll tell the guy myself :D

Right on, as long as he has a good reputation. A referral from Steve is gold, although that could mean about half the members here. Sometimes I think we should rename this site asksteve.com

I think you will put an idea into at least one of the Steve's heads with that one. However almost 100% chance that domain is registered.
