Goodbye Entrecard + Planned Maintanance
Okay after much thought and expecially after their last blog post I am officially leaving Entrecard in the next month. I will make sure I spend the last few thousand credits I get and allow all users who have ads in my que to receive them before I do leave.
Entrecard is no longer what it was and the new owners are trying to make huge money from a free system. Bad idea many will leave !! Many already have !!
Also during this weekend I expect to have the site down for a layout edit. This is dependant on if I actually get it finished though so please dont hold your breath. I have planned my next search post for Monday.

I will probably visit occasionally just to see new sites. However with Adgitize growing quickly I am sure I will have no issues using just it.
I had wondered about someone starting a similar system fully free (as Entrecard was) and working it up to get around the issue. This is a very hard way to do it but could be very successful.
I mean I would happily work on a system like this in all spare time and get the hosting etc if a new version was scripted.
PLUS we would get to start from scratch and make it how we want it.

that’s sad. but aren’t they giving us members the choice to either pay the $50.00 or not?

Yes but that kind of gets rid of the free part on Entrecard. I personally wont go back now and I am sad to say it.

Well, I’m glad that your on Adgitize. I use that as my primary method of blog surfing these days. I’d also encourage you and your readers to fill out my quick survey about blog advertising on my blog

I’ve gotten a bunch of responses and I hope to write a post with some analysis soon.

I too have joined the exodus. I got very tired of doing 300 EC drops/day. The implementation of recent changes has been ham-handed and that was the final push for me.
I came here today from Adgitize. Extreme Tracker shows that traffic is way down since I stopped EC drops. So be it.

hmm. maybe they will change the system again soon? I am also having doubts cuz I’m having a contest and many blogger want to sponsor EC credits. I guess there are still many bloggers who like entrecard. ^^

Lets hope they change it because I am really quite sad about leaving. I really did not want to loose the system.
There have just been far to many changes and well none of them have really benefited me and most have caused me to loose out.

I do believe you and just about everyone else is leaving Entrecard. It looks like a ghost town over there.
Can’t say the folks running that place don’t deserve to have everyone defect, however. I wonder how much Adgitize is paying Entrecard to make the idiot decisions they have
