is Project Wonderful (PW) a Scam? The answer is in this post. But what is Project Wonderful first? PW is an innovative advertising platform that is popularized by it's CPD (cost per day) bidding system, mostly PW ads are placed beside/above or beneath the Entrecard widget because it has the same 125x125 size. In their website they define PW as:
"Project Wonderful brings a model of transparency and fairness to online advertising. Ads are sold through our innovative Infinite Auction model: you bid on an advertising slot, and for as long as you are the high bidder, your ad is displayed. You can bid whatever price you'd like for as long as you'd like: two days, a week, a year - it's your choice.
All bids are in "cost per day" - you simply tell us how much you're willing to pay for a day's worth of advertising, and whenever you are the high bidder, your ad will be displayed! You're only charged for the time periods when your ad is shown. You can also set hard expense limits on your bids, so you'll never get charged more than you expect."
Of course, i think Project Wonderful is not a scam, and because i finally reached their $10.00 pay-out limit i will try to withdraw my earnings thru PayPal. Let's see how fast the withdrawal is.
after i click 'Yes' this is what the website says: "You request to withdraw $11.67 USD has been submitted. You'll be notified of its status both by email and by our internal messaging system.Click here to go back to your funds page." (i know it's so low, but what the heck i just put the code there & wait for advertisers to bid)
i will update this post tommorow.
I put PW ads on my blog last March 19, 2008 and after 22 days i reached the pay-out limit. Actually Project Wonderful has so many potential, it's my 3rd top moneymaker now, next to Google Adsense and Widgetbucks. I recommend it to every blogger! Some improvements i wish to be implemented by Project Wonderful:
1. Ban those ads that are imitating Entrecard widget, it's so annoying that when you 'drop your card' you will be surprise that is redirected to a PW advertiser.
2. Update the servers ;) because on some of my blogs increases it's loading time because of PW.
3. Update the codes, it's so old school, why not generate a small javascript instead of those confusing codes that you need to generate and paste again on your blog if you update the dimension, color ad price, etc.
You? please share some Project Wonderful stories! Is it wonderful?
Update:
I received the payment after one day, for small time blogger like me, it's really worth a try.
4/23/08 - I withdraw $10.66 again.

@ohio:
the secret in PW is to keep your adbox minimal, so your adbox price will always be up.
I am also using Project Wonderful for more than 4 months and had received about 30$ from them. So i can't say it as a Scam.
Its really a great new way to make money online and worth a lot to give a try !
I know right? But PW's problem is their servers, there ads are so slow to load.
Awesome. I'm curious about PW !!
Am hoping i can be paid too! lol

I noticed a charge in my bank account for $49.90 that I did not authorize. It says the source is make money online. I need to know how I can reach someone with this company to talk to them about this charge. I did not authorize it. Thanks.
that's impossible! maybe someone used your account without you knowing. a hacker maybe
With more people opting to earn money from the comforts of their own homes, you have to be careful as online frauds are scattered around. You need to detect work at home scams, since you might be wasting your effort and time on nothing.
Before joining any money making schemes do research on the company and try to check on how long the company has been in the business.
Do not fall prey on these work at home scams. Keep an eye out for these signs, and if you detect one, report it to the proper authorities right away. You not only need to protect yourself, you need to protect others as well.
