    Entrecard Link

    Friday, October 23rd, 2009

    Today, I received another e-mail from a fellow Entrecard member telling me that I should link my Entrecard to the main page of my blog and not to isolated pages. He also cited that it was against Entrecard’s Terms and Conditions. I used the term “another” because it was the second time this particular Entrecard member has sent me a message about it. The first time was last September 3, 2009 and the content of the message was the same.

    Message dated September 3, 2009 reads:

    FYI:

    You should direct your Entrecard to the main page of your weblog, not to specific, isolated pages thereof.

    After getting this message, I immediately contacted Entrecard and asked about it and they responded with “Yes, you can change your website url in your dashboard.” (more…)

    Upset With Entrecard

    Sunday, January 13th, 2008

    I happened to chanced upon a thread in Entrecard’s forum about JohnCow.com ditching entrecard and it linked back to a post in his own blog. I went to read the post to find out why a high profile blogger like him would ditch Entrecard and reading through the post I felt that he is kinda upset (maybe not) because a blogger with very few RSS subscriber surpassed his popularity within the Entrecard community.

    He also mentioned that bloggers are gaming the system but dropping your card on hundreds or even thousands of blogs every day does not increase your popularity which is measured by your blog’s Ad Rate because ad rate is computed by the number of drops received by your Entrecard widget and not the other way around. So, the way I understand this is that even if you don’t drop cards but members continue to drop cards on you then you’ll be popular and have a higher advertising rate than other blogs. If 100 members dropped their cards on you then your blog’s ad rate will be 200 EC and you don’t have to drop any card to get that. Besides, I haven’t seen a blog that has a very low ad rate reach the Most Popular page. O_o
