So, how can I answer Beacons comment, well yea, you are not the only one who have lots of sites engaged with entrecard. So am I. Anyway greatly appreciate your comment.
By da way I dropped the entrecard down for a reason ? I’m not a chain dropper anymore.. I expect good readers now. I have enough wealth in EC in your terms about $80 for now. Hmmm anyhow I never said I’m an expert I told my experience in 7 days work.. I never say my readers to follow me, follow what you think is right. Thats how I always work. Cheers !

For the most part, your advice is really awful! I’ve started over 20 Entrecard accounts and you’re missing a few key points. To start off, it’s true that it is in your best interest to start with “ads disabled” so that the eager beaver advertisers don’t swamp your inbox. However, you really don’t want to reject most advertisers because you don’t want them to mentally cross you off their list. And while it’s true that many of the top 3 of each category are Drop Masters or Very Very Serious card droppers, most of them already have a list of 300 cards they drop on a daily basis. When you drop on their site you won’t likely get a return drop unless they are dedicated to reciprocal return dropping.

Remember that you only get 25% of the ad price of your spot. So, even if you wait to fill it up with 10 advertisers each paying 50 EC for the opportunity, you’re only going to get 125 EC, versus 10-20 EC if you just approve ads right away on the first day. And while it might sound like a good idea to get an extra 100 EC, just remember that 100 EC is worth about 80 cents USD. Do you really want to reject advertisers for less than a buck?

If you were really interested in being an Entrecard player you would move your widget above the fold, start dropping and commenting on sites you like, and stop trying to be an expert when you’re not there yet. Sorry to be so harsh, but it just amazes me that you have people reading this blog thinking that you know what you are talking about when you clearly don’t. 7 days experience is hardly enough to have it figured out and your drop to return drop ratio is right on the average at 3:1. Don’t listen to me, go read Turnip of Power’s site or ahkong.net if you want another opinion.

interesting entrecard startup tips. I guess for advertising we have got to be selective to have ads that relate to our blog content.

ha! I got to your post, skimmed it clicked on the entrecard, loggeed into my account, then approved all the advertisers… THEN I went back and read the rest of your post. Really good info. Too bad I was a little quick on the draw.
