I got an email from WidgetBucks today:

Dear WidgetBucks Publisher,

We wanted to make you aware two things as we head into the Holiday season. First the addition of additional widgets and secondly to ask for your vote on the OWA awards.

WidgetBucks has rolled out a new ad widget style, giving publishers two display options for each of the eight sizes offered. The new ads are noted with a “B” (for B Series) in the pull-down menu of the “Customize Your Widget” page, where publishers can also see a preview before selecting with option to choose. One “C Series” widget, offered in the 300×250 medium rectangle size and 660×330 larger size, includes a search box.

One modification not previously highlighted on this blog is the ability to adjust the product rotation interval, giving publishers the ability to modify the pace by which products are displayed in their widgets. The default rotation is 3 seconds, but can be set anywhere from 1 to 10 seconds per item.

When it comes to popular categories of WidgetBucks widgets, the top five are MP3 Players, Laptops, Game Consoles, Flat Panel Televisions and Cell Phones, respectively. And when it comes to ad sizes, here are the top four (in order by total units used): 160×600 wide skyscraper, 728×90 leaderboard, 300×250 medium rectangle, and 468×60 full banner.
