WidgetBucks has announced that publishers can now earn more revenue from european traffic. (Quoted directly from the announecement)

WidgetBucks is expanding its cost-per-click (CPC) network, giving publishers and bloggers two ways to earn revenue from their Western European traffic. Starting today in the United Kingdom, when publishers serve WidgetBucks ad widgets on their sites, visitors based in the UK will now see a short-duration CPM display ad followed by a CPC shopping widget featuring UK-based merchants and products listed in British pounds sterling.

The CPM-CPC hybrid gives publishers two revenue streams from the same ad widget instance. Before today, only CPM (cost-per-thousand impressions) ads were served to visitors outside the U.S. and Canada.

Additional Western European countries, including Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Belgium will come online over the next two weeks.

WidgetBucks is one of the best add-on money making opportunities. If you haven’t signed up for WidgetBucks yet, do so now and get an instant $25 sign up BONUS!

Google Adsense announced that they are closing their Adsense Referrals Program during the last week of August and are relaunching a new Google Affiliate Network. Actually it is nothing new to us, as you know Google acquired DoubleClick Performics Affiliate Network in March, It will now operate as the Google Affiliate Network.

The new Google Affiliate Network cannot be able to use by everyone. They say that they are targeting sites which have US based traffic. Google Affiliate Network is similar to the Adsense Referrals program, It enables publishers to apply for advertiser programs and get paid based on advertiser-defined actions.

(Quoted directly from the announcement)

“If you currently use referral ads, either to promote Google products or offerings from AdWords advertisers, AdSense Referrals code will no longer display ads beginning the last week of August. We encourage you to take the following steps before the product is retired:

• Remove the referral code from your site(s): Please take a moment to remove all referral code from your sites before the last week of August, so you can continue to effectively monetize your ad space.
  
• Run and save all referrals reports on your desktop: Create and save all reports related to the referrals program on your desktop, so you continue to have access to your valuable campaign information.“

So those of you promoting Adsense Referrals Products are advised to remove the ad and replace it with something else. They will stop working in the last week of August.
