As promised here is my review of the $25 sponsored ad on Entrecard, a system I had vowed to never use again. I will look at my own thoughts on the system but I will also give you thoughts and comparisons to my favourite advertising system – Adgitize.
Cost
First thing first, the cost of the Entrecard – Sponsored Ad did not really sound that unreasonable to me. At $25 it is only $1 more than Adgitize but has a guaranteed number of views. The cost for me at first seemed to be good and it was nice to be sure of what I was actually going to get. The one issue I had was that although they gave a cost and number of impressions they left out the period of time that the ad was expected to run.
Ease Of Use
The Entrecard advertising system itself was really simple and took only a matter of seconds to complete. The form allowed you to create all different site profiles and select whether they were to be targeted or not.
When this was completed you went back to a page showing your current ads (showing whether they were pending etc), the balance of your account and the stats of all of your ads. With the ability to archive ads and bring them out of the archive it is really quite easy to keep the ads you want running.
One main feature which I personally really liked was the ability to pause your adverts. I think that this could be a major selling point for the Entrecard Sponsored Ad System. I feel this would be a great feature for Adgitize but it would not work with the program.
Unfortunately I have run out of time tonight to complete this post. For that reason I will continue on Thursday instead of rushing this post.
If this post has intrigued you I highly advise you to read Cornymans – “Entrecard – Facts About Sponsored Ads”
Thanks for the link love, Lee
Waiting for your conclusion on Thursday!
Not at all Martin. I am hoping it will be a good conclusion and that people find it informative.
Yes, I’m interested to hear what you have to say
question for you…As a Paid sponsor , Do you not have to put an Entrecard widget on your site?
@ Auntie E … No you dont need to have a widget on your website.
