They didn’t specify when this offer expires, so if you want to purchase some Entrecard credits, now is the time to do so!

It looks like the Entrecard forums have been closed indefinitely. I’ll admit I wasn’t very active with the forums, so who knows how long they’ve been closed. It’s pretty disappointing they never got a lift off and weren’t very active, but maybe they will reopen them in the future. As for now, it’s closed.

Now, some people like the idea of being able to pay to opt out of the ads, some loathe the whole paid ads system, and others simply just don’t care. I’m in the last group because like I said, the company behind Entrecard HAS to make money in order for Entrecard to stay alive. It’s a BUSINESS people! And the service is still free! They aren’t forcing you to pay $50 to continue using the system. So what if there are a few sponsorship ads in between ads you’re receiving credits to run?

Right now, Entrecard’s only source of income is from the ‘Earn EC’ section where you can earn credits to fill out offers or from purchasing credits. They do not make enough from that to stay alive.

And to those who are criticizing the staff because they are just trying to make money- so are you! You use Entrecard to earn credits and promote your blog so you can gain readers and traffic in order to make money from your blog through CMF Ads, Adgitize, or private advertising. Even if you didn’t set out to make money from blogging, you’re still trying to anyways. So, give them a break because they are still providing a free service to bloggers that may never have been noticed without Entrecard.

I’m accepting the sponsor ad program because Entrecard is still a free service and I understand that to run a site and service like Entrecard, it requires a lot of staff and money. They have to pay for staff to deal with customer service, coding, and adding new features. Server bills for a large site such as Entrecard are expensive as well. I think this would never have been an issue with members if the sponsorship program was implemented from the get go, instead of waiting a few years to finally add something like this, because members would have been accustomed to the idea of Entrecard using some of the ad space for sponsors.

So, it’s either Entrecard shuts down or Entrecard takes a small bite from your ad views.

This program will being on October 5th. It has stirred quite a bit of conversation around the blogosphere and I’ll share you my view on the new program next.

Entrecard has announced a referral program where you can earn 300 Entrecard credits for referring a new member to Entrecard. They HAVE to be a new member and active for 14 days before you receive credit.

There are two new sections in your Entrecard user dashboard one provides buttons and banners to use to refer members, and the other lists members you have referred. This is my Entrecard referral link.

I won’t have much luck because my blog is about Entrecard – so my readers already know about Entrecard and probably have an account. But, I’m interested in seeing how much success other people will have with this.

My question is, what’s next for Entrecard? And why has it been so quiet lately? Are they working on something big? Or, for lack of a better word, just “chilling” and doing some behind-the-scene things?

I have 3 ads running right now but hopefully there will be more ad spot purchases over the course of the month like last month. If you’re interested in purchasing a one month ad on EntreBlast for just $0.50 visit my CMF Ads profile.
