News :: Reviews on Extended Hiatus - WidgetBucks Issues

As many of my regular readers may have noticed, there hasn’t been a review done in a few weeks. Life has essentially caught up to me, and decisions had to be made, temporarily. For the time being, 15-Minute reviews are on hold, pending future potential revival with a new twist.

I have done reviews for Giveaway of the Day for over a year. I have enjoyed being a part of the community and do hope that I can rejoin it in the near future. Many of you may not know, but I have recently had a family expansion and with this expansion it has become difficult to budget 2 hours every week-morning to reviews that could effectively be used on other necessities.

As well, on top of this, I have recently come into some issues with the ad provider WidgetBucks. Long story short, their ‘international’ CPM ads that were being hosted on my site were linking to known malware (Specifically trojan and spyware) sites. I had chosen to install a script to remove their international ads. After repeated attempts to contact WidgetBucks and a non-response position from them, I decided that their ads will no longer grace my site and I encourage anyone else who reads this to avoid them until a resolution is made.

I will be leaving all the previous reviews up for those who are still interested, and the forums for those who do wish to converse with myself or other GotDers away from GotD. I will let you all know when my reviews return.

Thanks for all of your support through the past year of reviews!
