Well this it, Its goodbye from me on Entrecard. Its honestly just not worth it anymore. The latest decision regarding sponsored ads has made me re-think my time that i spend on Entrecard.
Ive subscribed to many of my favorites from Entrecard and i hope to see as many entrecarders as possible in other social networking sites.
Good luck to those who decide to stay with it, I wish you all the best.
At it again.
Well well well, Look at what we have now.
Is it just me or is everybody else sick of crap being dealt to us on Entrecard? From paid ads to sponsored ads.
I posted back in April expressing my concern over the paid ads scheme and now they are back again, This time they will be displayed 15% of the time, (Or so they say). And we may not have a choice but to accept them which is one of my biggest concerns.
I hope they listen to the points put across to them from entrecarders and compromise for a change.
It sounds to me like someone bought a lemon, And now realizes it wasn't a good investment.
Oh well, good luck with your idea. I hope you can recover some of the initial outlay for buying Entrecard. I hope it was worth it.
Congrats to Graeme for selling when he did, He must have known the value of the Entrecard credit was worthless.

All Blacks win over Wallabies.
The All Blacks produced a hugely satisfying 33-6 win to wrap up the winter test season over Australia at the Westpac stadium in Wellington, but the question now is where to from here with an end of year tour starting in five weeks time?The All Blacks only just avoided the bottom of the table for the tri-nations series, but beat the Wallabies with a clean sweep to regain the Bledisloe cup, It was an impressive finish to an ordinary Tri-Nations campaign that proved to the rest of the rugby world that South Africa are the number 1 team in the world after they dominated the super 14 season.
The All Blacks made good from their promise to kick on from their enterprising late rally against the South African Springboks last week and were lucky to be leading 16-6 at half time over the Wallabies, They showed they meant business from the opening whistle and finally produced a strong start to give their game the momentum that has been missing for much of the season.
It was good to see the coaching staff playing people in the positions they dominate at rather than trying them at different positions, I personally thought the coaching staff would have learn't a lesson from whats happened over the past 3 years. The response was a performance full of energy and, importantly, accuracy on both attack and defense.
The focus now will be on the end of year tour which starts on November 14 with five tests which will include games with Italy, France and England. Hopefully our coaching staff will continue with the team that have just dominated Australia which will then put New Zealand back in a position to regain the world number 1 ranking after the tri-nations in 2010.
hopefully the problems are over.
Well it looks like all these problems on Entrecard are over (for the meantime).I cant say I'm too happy with all the new points regulations but never mind, Due to this new policy of reducing the amount of Entrecard credits, I too have decided to do my part at reducing them as well, I will still accept all ad requests but you will only be able to buy an ad when i decide to accept the ads, This means it will only cost you 2,4,8 or 16 credits, Once it has reached 16 i will turn off the apply to advertise in my advert settings. I think that is a fairly good deal to those advertising on my site, considering the drops from your ad on my site don't receive any credit from the dropper.
My regular routine of drops will continue as normal, So you will still receive the maximum exposure that you all deserve.
Problem after problem.
I don't know about the rest of you out there on Entrecard, But i am sick to death of the constant problems that have been occurring since the sale of Entrecard. Its not just the problems that are affecting all of with server problems etc but Ive also had many other problems with it since the sale. And Admin really dont seem to give a S#$%. Im sure most of us that have been with Entrecard for quite some time understand just how frustrating these problems can be.
About 3 weeks ago there was an ad that was supposed to be running on my site but it never changed, I notified the Entrecard admin and the reply i got was "it could be that our servers are in a different time zone. please allow a 24 hours delay if needed". Seriously what do you take us for??? Idiots?, We all know how it works and we all have some idea of when the ads change. So the ad for the previous day got 2 days exposure, Good deal for that blog but not for the site that was supposed to be there. Also just 2 days ago i informed Admin that drops on my site weren't being registered, Guess what.... No reply.
I have now decided that i am going to stop accepting ads until i feel that my advertisers are getting the exposure that they are paying for, I shall continue with my regular routine until my current ads in queue have all run there time and then i shall make my decision as to whether or not to continue with Entrecard.
