Little To Late Now.........

Hi everyone,
We have received some concerns regarding the high 75% tax deducted from the price to advertise on your blog. So for the next 3 months we will be lowering the tax rate to 50%. This means that you will receive 50% of the price it costs to advertise on your blog! The other 50% will be deleted from our system. This is effective as of today. After 3 months, if there are no major problems with the EC inflation, we will keep the tax rate at 50%.
Please continue to email us at support@entrecard.com if you have any problems or concerns. We would love to hear from you. All emails will be answered within 24 hours.

Why would anyone want to deal with Entrecard when they shut themselves off from contact with their members.

And what does Copyright 2006-2009, Amazon Inc. have to do with Entrecard????

And the childish games roll on and on...


Is this the best they can come up with?? What I mean, is, are they going to rob people of 15% of widget space for that garbage.

The one on the right seems a bit of false advertising by saying 100% free. I mean, it's like they're taking 15% of they widget or you pay them $50 a year not to take 15%. 

And even more childish they banned Caledonian Comment for speaking out on the Entrecard forums about the card saying it's "100% free". Back to their old tricks of censorship I see.

Now the babies have totally closed down the forums. LOL!!!
If people can't run something right, but can't take it when customers call them on it, then why bother??? Gee, grow a thicker skin or get thrown by the way side.

But it really is a damn shame Entrecard is going to hell. Entrecard could have been the biggest thing to have ever hit the internet, I believe.

Couple Of Things On My Mind...

The wait is over! The new KISS album hit the stores today. Many of the Wal-Mart stores set up a KISS Korner at midnight last night. I've already seen reports today where KISS fans dressed up as KISS with all the face paint and hit Wal-Mart stores to get their copy of the new album last night. I missed out on getting there to pick up the album, but hopefully I'll be able to pick one up sometime in the near future.

KISS hits Atlanta, Georgia Oct.26. Sorry to say I won't be there either because of health reason lots of you already know about. BOO-HOOOO! ;-)

KISS will be on the David Letterman Show tonight with their new album.(Tuesday Oct.6)  Hopefully I'll get to see that tonight if the cable tv or power don't crash! Crossing fingers!!!  lol

Another date come and gone. lol Ummm, where's the new paid ads Oooops! I mean sponsor ads as Entrecard  likes to call them. Like they think we are all bumbling idiots and don't know the differences. Haven't seen any of them yet.

Also, now it looks like BlogUpp is throwing paid ads at the users of the widget now. I am removing those widgets from my blog as soon as I finish posting this.

They Just Won't Wake Up.

This was posted on the Entrecard blog today. And how lame is their excuse this time?? Are they now trying to turn members against members this time???  Guess they didn't think people would noticed they had been deleting comments for days. They will do anything to stop people that won't praise their latest ideas. 

"Because of our recent change of service, we have a small group of users that are extremely angry and using the blog comments to get other members to rebel against Entrecard. Due to this reason alone, we have decided to disable comments and will be restored in the near future. However, if anyone still have questions about our services, please email support@entrecard.com. All emails will be answered within 24 hours. Thank you so much!

I emailed with someone at Entrecard tonight and looks as if they've made up their mind. Widgets will share ec and paid ads and Wanda and I will be leaving Entrecard as bad as I was trying not to.

I have no problem running your paid ads. BUT.... I will not share one widget with both $$$ paid and ec paid ads. The people that spend time day after day dropping on cards so they can advertise their own blog is way more important to me than someone who can throw down a buck or two for advertising and I will not (can not) pay $50 which would be $100 for my wife and me. We don't have that kind of money to spend on blogs that are only a hobby specially when way more traffic comes from Adgitize and BlogExplosion each.

Like to have answer as quick as possible as you can, for my wife and I have about two days worth of ads waiting to run. After that we will remove widgets and move on. My wife and I both would each close down our blogs before we take anything away from our loyal visitors or running their ec paid ads 100%.

Thanks!

Hi Chilly,

I'm not sure what you mean by "But will Entrecard leave widgets as they are?????". We're not going to change the location of where your widget is at.

Yes, under the sponsor ads program, 85% of the time, it will show your EC advertiser. 15% of the time will be a sponsor ad. I believe you have an option to pick the sponsor ads. If you don't like one, you can opt out and go with another one. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Also, please check out http://forums.entrecard.com/ and talk among other bloggers!

If not, then it is final, we will be leaving Entrecard. My wife and I will not share a widget with ec paid ads and money paid ads. Not fair for ec paying ads to run less than 100% on a widget.

Thanks for your reply! Good luck keeping Entrecard alive!

Hello Chilly,

Our managment has discussed the idea of a double widget but I don't think it's going to happen during the sponsor ads. Anyhow, thanks for using Entrecard.

Then they don't speak as if they even know what is going to happen. One place they say "I believe you have the option" and then another place they say "I don't think it's going to happen".  Are we dealing with children here or what???
Oh well, Just a few days now, Entrecard will be behind us and moving on.

I just want to be sure, sooo......

Can someone answer me and say if I am right or not. Maybe (hopefully} I'm having a blonde moment here.

From what I read in the Entrecard blog, Paid ads are coming back????? But this time, they will run only 15% of the time instead of 50% as before.

BUT...... the fact is, paid ads and ec ads will be sharing the same widget once again taking away from the ec paying ads??? Right????
Thanks for any help!

Entrecard widget has been moved down into the sidebar. And the Adgitize widget moved to the top as it gives move value than Entrecard does.

Said I quit before....

And numbers like this, I don't know how much longer I'll do this....

Traffic??

I remember when I started this blog, I had no clue at all what I was doing or where I was going with it. About the time I started getting tired of all the drama of message forums and thinking maybe I'll give blogging a chance. Figured blogging would be something I could control on what and where it goes. But you know, sometimes I think it's tries to control me on which way it wants to go. ;-)

Anyway, getting tried of forums, I figured blogging would be something I'd give a try. I remember when I started noticing people starting to drop in and even leaving comments. Hmm, I thought this was pretty cool so I started looking for was to get a few more in it and see where this goes.
Well, there's a photo blog that most of you I'm sure know about called New York Nitty-Gritty. I found this blog on Google one day doing a NY photo search, liked the blog and started going there every day. Then started noticing he had an Entrecard widget with a different picture. I clicked a few times and found other blogs and Entrecard. One thing lead to another and I joined Entrecard. Enjoyed using Entrecard even where I started seeing friends and other blogs that I enjoyed a lot started getting ran out of the system. But have done well using the system up until the point that the paid ads came out. Then like many other blogs I've seen, my traffic started falling off. Couple of times lately, I've seen to advertise on my blog dropped down to 64 and 128 ec's. I get vert little traffic out of Entrecard these days. In fact I wondering if it's really worth bothering with anymore.

So I've been playing around with other systems to see what happens. I added BlogUpp to my blog again. It seems to be bringing in about the same amount of traffic as Entrecard does.
Then I added Adgitize. I'm liking it a lot more and it's less work with more traffic than Entrecard gives me these days. Plus I get to widget surf like I used to do with Entrecard, but I only have to do one hundred a day. Only problem I hate, is some people don't place a widget on their blog and you hit a dead end. But that's ok, I pick up on another blog and keep on surfing and I'll remember those that won't run a widget next time I cross them.
Also gave this blog it's own On The Bricks Fan Page over on Facebook which is bringing in a bit of traffic too. So now between the 3 new systems I've added on top of Entrecard, I'm seeing the traffic that once came from Entrecard once again, plus more.

One More Time Around.....

And then I'm going to sit back in a comfy chair and just watch what happens in the next few months with Entrecard.
As we all I guess know by now that Entrecard was acquired by ZipRunner Inc. Everyone's running around saying Entrecard was sold. Folks, acquired don't have to mean sold. If you notice Graham said in his post that ZipRunner Inc was chosen for Entrecard. Wonder why??? Could it be that ZipRunner Inc invested 100,000 some odd dollars in the past and Graham didn't make a return on their investment, so just maybe Entrecard was more likely repossessed. Just the way I see it when I read Graham's post and Andrew Te's post over on the Entrecard blog. And I also have something to say on those two post in a minute.

I'm seeing all over the place a bio on ZipRunner Inc. I still have no idea what it is, what they do or anything about them. I'm guessing they buy, sell, invest in other companies. Do they know anything about running something like Entrecard?? Will they just end up dumping Entrecard to someone else.

If this whole story is true or made up!

If it is true, is anyone other than me worried about Graham as an advisor for ZipRunner Inc. I'm hoping ZipRunner owning Entrecard is true and can put it back on it's feet. Because at this point, I'm honestly getting way more traffic from other places than I get from Entrecard and not worth my time dropping anymore. But with Graham, it will never happen.
I mean come on, what kind of company would not check to see what kind of feelings the customers have about the product??? I'm guessing ZipRunner never checked for comments from customers or they would have seen many complaints and see just how many walked away from Entrecard up to date. And also if they had, they would have to see that it was Graham and his lame tricks and changes to Entrecard that has also killed Entrecard and Andrew Te would not have been praising Graham in his post.
That for one makes me wonder if the whole thing is made up for us to start following and believing in Graham once again. Andrew Te's and Graham's post on the Entrecard blog are so much alike. Makes me wonder if Graham wrote them both.

I also have one huge question now, maybe more like curiosity than anything else. Graham is finally a blogger, (ok, that's funny as hell to me, but another story) so why does he not display an Entrecard widget????

Now, something I've learned an be watching and haven't seen anything said about it. If the Entrecard widget has been taken off of a blog, but still have an account on Entrecard. And the paid ads line up to be approved, as we know already, approved or not, they still run, ok...... here's where it gets fun. Blog has no widget but paid ads are lining up, if you leave them just sitting there, then somehow they do collect ec's for that blog.
 Sounds great for the people using the paid ad system, huh! NOT!

Alright, like I said in the beginning of this post, I'm going to lay off Entrecard for now and sit back and see where this Entrecard/ZipRunner Inc thing goes. Hoping we will can soon begin to see Entrecard coming back to where it once was. :-D
7/15/09

REMOVE THE PAID AD, NOW!

Don't screw with me Graham, get the ad off now or I will remove the widget. I put in a support ticket and I posted on your forum for all the good it will do for someone to take it off and I want it done tonight!!

Entrecard.... Here we go again. (follow up)

This was suppose to be a comment on my last post here, but it got a little long and it's easier just to make another post than to take time to thin it down.
I think people are getting worked up on my last post until we see what Graham could be up to and as we know by now that could be anything under the sun.
I didn't write the post to stir people against this or that. I have no clue if it will be judged on comments or how long we are there or what. Those two are the only thing I can think of that could be. And if it's either one of those changes, my use of Entrecard will be cut way down to 15-20 blogs a day because with all the changes thrown at Entrecard, most blogs I care to read have been ran off. But I just thought it was funny that here we go again with another change because Graham's changes usually turn out crap.
And bounce rate???? I could care less. LOL Don't truly even know much about it. I blog because it gives me something to do. A hobby plain and simple. I love that some of you read my blog and some comment. But if you didn't, so what as far as care. If I failed, I find something else to do.
And ya know, looks to me like Graham would fix Entrecard problems already there before he makes more problems. To start with, your forums suck. Who ever heard of closing out the world to an Introduction forum. Dumbest thing I even heard! I gave up going to the forums and seeing all the negative garbage of Entrecard and Entrecard started getting better to deal with and I only focused on the good which is the people and blogs I met. Cleaning out the system of dead and deleted blogs would be nice. Why should we have to get punished for dropping on a deleted blog still having a widget. It's not our fault, but yet the customer gets punished. Still trying to figure out how that fair. lol
I have a blog linked to this one. (Kool Kustoms) I took the widget off that blog two months ago because I found a paid ad running and shouldn't have been any. And I reported the blog needed deleted because I had just taken the widget off. I just went into switch accounts to see if it was still there right before I started writing this. Yep, sure enough, still there with paid ads lined up wanting to run. Dang, there's not even a widget on the blog already! Guess what, bet the blog will be deleted this time now that I have said here for the world to see. lol

And what's happened to blogs. Used to be all those better blogs, (ok, by better, I mean to my interest.) Were always up top with 1000 or more ec's to advertise on them. ALWAYS! Now I find all the blogs that when I started Entrecard (that is still around) always at the top are all towards to bottom in the 300's to 64 ec's to advertise on. That should tell someone something pretty quick. ;-)

Yes Lynne, I to use to do 900 drops a day, 7 days a week with three blogs. This blog, Kool Kustoms, and 1Blog and 2Sides. Gave the recipe blog to my wife, dumped Kool Kustoms, and I do around 175 drops a day now. And that may drop to about 15 to 25 or less if this change brings on what I think it will.

Aldon Hynes, I do and have asked myself many times if it's possible that Graham is trying to kill Entrecard. Many times it has looked that way.

Oh and can someone explain to me this, I drop from a list. Same blogs on list every day for nearly a year. Some have dropped off and some have been added. But most are still on my list. Anyway, you drop for nearly a year every day, but never hit a top drop list. I've seen people post their monthly top droppers of 10, some 20 some even post their top 30 droppers. How do I miss making somewhere on a list that big when I drop on these blogs every day. It tells me that Entrecard's stats are way off bases.

Alright then, that's all for this time........ Aren't cha' glad. LOL

Entrecard.... Here we go again. LOL

"Starting soon, “dropping and running” will no longer give you credit. We are developing a proprietary algorithm to determine whether or not you engaged in the blog you visitied in some way. If you did not engage in the blog, you will not get credit. We won’t be disclosing exactly the algorithm we use, so that people can’t game it easily."
After reading that from the Entrecard blog tonight, makes me wonder just what crazy idea is up Graham's shirt sleeve this time! Looks to me as if he's going to stir up a lot of spamming within the blogs of Entrecard users. I can only see that Graham is talking about making comments for credits. I don't comment if I don't have something to say. So could this be the move that finally pushes On The Bricks out the doors.

As far as drop n run, I couldn't care less if they drop it to 20 a day drop limit. lol

How much can you give, While they keep taking!

[QUOTE=Andy T]Thats just it, there is nothing to discuss. And there is nothing that [B]NEEDS[/B] discussing. Unfortunately, you are in the percentile that has to pay for others mistakes. I am open to any discussion through private message, irc chat, googletalk, facebook chat, etc. I am open to any ideas. Send me a message or even an email.

You can email me at: andy[at]andys-blogs[dot]com

We are not banning people from the forum. (with a small exception.) We have just developed a new forum that requires approval before attaining access or posting permissions.

If it means a lot to you, then please ask me for help. I am all for sending credits and helping people in their specific situations.[/QUOTE]

YOU just don't get it, do you????????? You don't treat people like a text book full of rules!! Closing any of these forums off to Entrecard members, (specially the General Chat) is the dumbest thing done in every way. You guys still claim Entrecard is community. What do you think General Chat is for??? It's for people to learn each other, to meet and make friends and yes it's away to find to blogs. Even to discuss likes and dislike about Entrecard and anything else under the sun. Without people getting together, you have no community, no matter what your crazy ideas floating around in your heads tell you. And that goes for all of management. You guys had better wake up before it's to late more than it is now. (And Andy, for god sakes, your only 19 years old, you haven't lived life long enough to know what 1000's of people need. Much less try to be this ruler of a forum as your doing.)
And yes, I know your going to delete this, 1. because you won't listen to the members of Entrecard, 2. because you won't think of hearing what's good for Entrecard, for you've got it drilled into your head what is best for us and you don't know crap, 3. Because your so power driven you can't stand for someone to speak up and you have to be the all mighty ruler.
I'm done now and I'll maybe, and I mean a big maybe, come here and read, but I won't waste my time posting anymore.
Above is a quote and post between Andy and my self, which Andy felt he need to delete because management can't talk hearing things unless it praise. The last time I looked, Andy had deleted 80 some odd posts from the thread.
The forums change of lately is just a small part of the problems I have with Entrecard. But it is just another part where they are showing how little they care about being fair to their members.
The widgets sharing ec ads with paid ads is my biggest complaint. Not fair to either side. I do not run the paid ads here and it's also becoming to much trouble when advertising and trying to find other's that don't run paid ads so mine will show 100% also.
Since the paid ads came out, I've had maybe 4 ec adverts to come my way and traffic has fell way off, but I've had over hundred paid ads wanting to advertise on this blog. I do 300 drops every day and with the return coming back anymore, just not worth it.


Oh and while I'm thinking of it, I'm sure most of you had noticed many blogs have been deleted lately and some of you were the ones getting deleted for one reason or the other. Who do you think was doing these deletes and who's ec's were growing to a huge amount.

***************************

1. This was a call from a higher power than myself.
2. I am very open to any ideas. Please message me as I have offered many times.
3. Graham believes in negative controversy, this is nothing to do with bad rep slinging. It is expected there will be negative talk about entrecard and its decisions. For gods sake your bloggers, most bloggers have a blog. And tons of people blog about entrecard. Anyways, this isn't penalization. I'm taking these case by case.
Another post from forums.
Reading that quote.....
Does that read the same to you as it does to me??? Does it seem that Graham is doing all these games with us knowing that people will blog about it, drawing traffic towards Entrecard to check out what we're talking about. Other words, he is using us for his pawn????

HERES a nice little read I found this evening that I think most will find very interesting. And please do click on links you find there and read.

Well, and it looks like now it's come out that we get a penalty if the widget comes up "No Such User" or "Invalid". Just keeps getting worse. Link on this subject is HERE.

By the way, I posted a comment over on Shoemoney blog to a post there about Entrecard and it hasn't been approved. I guess either Graham paid him to not approve it or Shoemoney is to thin skined to approve my comments. Or both! LINK HERE

I wasn't planing on posting about Entrecard ever again, but I had decided yesterday, I think I have one more post to give.
Having say all this, Entrecard is becoming a huge pain and I'm just sick and tired of being used. So, soon I will be removing the widget from my blog. By the way, Wanda has said, if I leave, she's leaving too.

Thank you! And thanks to all for your visits!! :-))
4/4/09

LMAO! This is getting funny!

Setting here clicking on refresh and I get 5 different cards showing in my Entrecard widget. LOL!
And that's all I have to say about that. Going to set outside awhile now. ;-))

Update: I'm very sorry to say that during dropping tonight was totally the biggest bore.
The one thing I really enjoy about dropping, is seeing the many different card designs in the widgets. That didn't happen tonight! Most of my 300 drops showed about 4 of the same paid ad cards.
I'm going to have to give Entrecard a lot a thought.
4/3/09

I don't understand one part of Entrecard ads.

I see we now have a spot on our dashboard for the 3rd party ads to be approved or rejected. Same place as where peoples adverts show up to be approved that want to run on our blogs. Approved ads line up down the right side for when they will run each day. So..........
If we approve the 3rd party ads, do they take the place of our blog adverts, jumping ahead of peoples adverts or what?? When do the 3rd party ads run. And if the 3rd party ad does take the place of someones advert, then when does that persons advert run??? Haven't seen any kind of answer to this up to now.

On The Bricks turning into a bitch fest???

Here we go again! Am I going to have to turn to playing online games or go back to playing with image making pregrams because I am getting so bored with websites anymore.
Why would people start up sites if they don't want to run them right?? Every site I get into for a while now is either built on lies or broken and buggy software. And if it's not broken, they monkey around with it until it is broken.

Anyone using Facebook?? There's one I started using a while back. They care less about their members, can't get any help or anything fixed on that site. Then they go changing the home page. Works and looks much like Twitter. Millions of people are hating it, but they won't listen to it's members.

Want to talk about Twitter??? Yep, I use it too. It's turned into garbage. Stays broken. I even started a new account because they wouldn't get my other account fixed. Worked good for about two weeks, not it's broken. Not to mention it's getting to be full of ads being twittered. And half the people you follow, won't follow back.

Anyone hang out at forums a lot?? There used to be a forum system called Ezboard. One of the largest systems on the internet. Well, one day they come up and say the software is to old to do anything with it. So they are going to build a bigger system to replace it. This was suppose to be a forum/Myspace/blogs all built together. Something for everyone all under one system and this system is called Yuku. LOL what a joke it turned out to be. More bugs than any site on the internet. And built totally on lies from the start! The user profiles are a copy of MySpace. The forums crash, posts disappear from time to time. They built blogs with not even half the tools you need and is attached to the users profile. They let porn and redirects slip into their ads. Not that's something for your child to see, huh! NOT!

MySpace! May just be that very thing. Just my space on the internet and nothing more. Yeah, I joined it too. Like it pretty good while someone isn't trying to hack into my account. Every few weeks I get message from MySpace telling me someone tried to hack my account and need to change password. But MySpace has gone pretty dead and boring the last few months.

Most all likes music I guess?? Tried Blipfm.com?? Fun site! Ok, it was until it broke. Half my links aren't working and I've been waiting and waiting and waiting somemore for someone to do something about it. Gotten not even any kind of answer back from them.

Entrecard.... Entrewhaaaaaaaaaaaat!! That is what I'm asking myself a lot lately because most of the widgets I see on blogs don't have the card showing. Just a dull black box with Entrecard image along with a green dot and check mark. How boring!
And 16,000 some odd number........ ummm, is that all the blogs there is using Entrecard?????? But I could half way believe this because every day when dropping on my way to 300 a day drops, I run across at least 10 blogs that have left Entrecard or blogs that have been deleted but still showing a widget.

Yeah, It looks like this blog is finding something to complain about all the time lately and it's not the direction I want it to go. But this kind of stuff stays on my mind because I'm getting so bored with sites that act like they could care less. And there's a lot more than I just listed that I could talk about along with more about each that I did list, but.........

I'm starting to bore myself with this subject! ;-)
Until next time...... Good day to you all! :-))

Odd stuff happening with Entrecard.

I've noticed drops have dropped off a bit here. Now that makes me wonder if people are tiring of coming here or people can't drop or people are not bothering to drop because they're so lost on which way Entrecard is going at this time. But I'm more wondering if maybe the drops are not adding up??? Because some are coming up as the old one entrecard.s3.amazonaws.com/adspot/xxxxx , but some are coming up as entrecard.com/apn/advert?spot=xxxxx . I know I'm sure wondering where it's going. How much damage is the update stuff really doing to Entrecard if that's the case!
Couldn't even get into the Entrecard site most of yesterday. Also seeing a lot of black Entrecard logos on peoples widgets instead of the cards that is suppose to be running at the time. So will we lose out because cards didn't run, or get refunded the credits, or what??
Lots of odd questions and no answers or statements from management coming out. Not even the Entrecard blog covers a lot that is happening.

EDITED: Just found pretty much the same thing said over on the Entrecard forums. Can read it here if you'd like. CLICK HERE

Awesome weekend, then there's Entrecard.

Took a few days offline this weekend because I got a great surprise phone call Friday evening from a friend from back home that I haven't seen in 3 years. We talk on the phone, but haven't seen him. He's a fine friend for 22 years and my best man at mine and Wanda's wedding. He's a long haul truck driver and he got stuck in my area waiting for a load to pick up. Well, his dispatcher having trouble finding him a pick up said it could be Saturday or maybe even Monday before they find something. So he called and we got together and spent the weekend here with us. Had a great time catching up with him. Only thing could have made the visit better, would have been for his wife to been here with him. Maybe next time! :-))

Now.............

I get back online and find different places, along with in email about Entrecard changes coming. Seeing a few concerns with it, but not seeing some clear answers to my understanding.

What I do see that I don't like at all, but not fully understand, is the parts about 3rd party ads on our blogs. Will our cards be replaced with 3rd party ads on blogs we advertise on or will we use another widget for these ads??

Not liking the fact that Entrecard is telling where we have to put widgets! Yes I do put mine above the fold and always will. But it's our blogs and people should have the say so on how they run their own site.

NOT saying I will leave Entrecard. I want to understand it more and see where this change is going before I say if I leave. Besides I enjoy Entrecard and the people I have met and like the traffic I get from Entrecard. But guess I need to think on how to replace the traffic if I do decide to go.

But, I do not like the idea of running 3rd party ads that I have no control over, or that is not fit for people to see on my blog. And I will not runs ads that makes money for someone else and I don't get my share. And by that I mean it has to be worth the bother on my part.

Also, I never turn down other blogs from advertising on my blog, so the rejecting of any ads don't bother me to much, but I do not see it's right to pay, and I can not see myself ever giving in to doing so for rejecting one if I feel the need to do so.

Maybe some things get noticed in due time.

Who knows??? But this don't set just right. A thread over at the Entrecard forums. New Droping Rule.
See, I reported this a morth or so ago, twice on a couple days apart. And still happening to this day. But now maybe it's being noticed that something is wrong.

But now this has me wondering about something else now. Blogs have been and are being rushed to getting deleted for no widget. At least now, people get a warning before deleted. BUT.... A blog will be deleted if not fixed within a time. If a blog falls in this case, how does someone fix their blog if it is not their problem that a widget don't show?? But I'm guessing that blog gets deleted anyway.
Oh well, what's a person to do....... ;)
