Downfall of Sunshine Empire?

"If it sounds too good to be true. It probably is!"

Did you put your $ there?
Because I was smart enough NOT to..
I even heard of local uni students quit school to work there full time..




Quote from the article on the StraitsTimes:

"THE Commercial Affairs Department (CAD) has begun investigation into the affairs of Sunshine Empire following reports of its controversial business practices.

A police statement on Tuesday, advising those who have invested in the company to wait for further updates from CAD, said they may be asked to help in the probe.

Barely 16 months into operations here, Sunshine was placed on the Monetary Authority of Singapore?s (MAS?) investor alert list in September.

This list names people or firms who may be conducting activities regulated by the MAS without authority.

On Oct 24, The Straits Times reported that the multi-level marketing firm had come under scrutiny because it appeared to be operating like a pure investment scheme, something it did not have the license to do.

SECRETS of Widgetbucks Revealed

In the post, I'll reveal to you the Secrets of Widgetbucks.
Together, we shall find out which type of ad will earn you the highest CPC...

First of all, taken from the top performer of Widgetbucks:
http://zacjohnson.com/widgetbucks-top-performer/





Quick analysis:
Quite obviously, Movie is the worst paying ad of all, even though it has the highest click-rate.
On the other hand, MP3 players ads pays more than 6 times that of Movies - 43cents/click. Do note that the currency is in USD.



Second, we look this very "green" blog:
http://bucks-widget.blogspot.com/2007/10/my-earnings-in-first-5-days.html



Quick analysis:
Consumer electronics ads tops the chart!!
Laptop, PDA, Digital camera paying 45cent, 43cent and 42cents respectively.
But then again, the same trend occurs - Movies has the highest click-rate!
Also, I'm quite surprised that Strollers is the blog's top earning ad.


Last but not least -- mine (-_-)"



Quick analysis:
Firstly, stop laughing at my pathetic earning, I only signed up for a week ok?
Nothing much to see actually, but once again, consumer electronic is confirmed to have the highest CPC.


Summary:
I would recommend putting either Movie ads (due to its high click rate),
and Laptop ads, because it pays the most.
But then again, it really depends on the demographics of your visitors and the nature of your blog/site.
Do note that Widgetbucks is a pure CPC program.
