Entrecard – Paid Sponsors Review
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.

Interview with Adgitize – July 09
Join Adgitize Today
Okay I have been lucky enough to get a second interview with Adgitize owner Ken Brown about Adgitize and the progress it has made since its launch.
Although not directly linked to the first interview ( http://lmblog.co.uk/interview-with-adgitize-ken-brown/ ) I think that it will help to see changes and how thoughts from Ken have changed since Adgitize was in its early stages.
The interview follows (I am in bold, Ken is in normal text) :
Hi Ken, first of all how are you yourself doing ?
I am doing wonderful. It has been a nice cool summer here in Illinois and I have seen family and friends.
That is great to hear now straight into things I think. You moved to a dedicated server recently how did that go? Do you find that this has given both you and Adgitize as a whole a more flexible and secure network? Even that you get more freedom?
Adgitize June Earnings Report
My June earnings report for Adgitize has been added to my reports page on the blog.
This month i spent a few days away from a computer so lost a fair amount of earnings. I got $13.48 but probably should have got $15.50 +

Next month should provide much better earnings from Adgitize.
