I use EC credits to rewards my readers and to make contests! I don’t like the new pricing system, my blog is pretty popular, I get nice SE traffic and vistors and my blog is priced for xx EC per day, Unfair !! I used to be priced x,xxx

A very keen observation, very scientific. I am new to this entrecard game and I am keeping it for exposure. I am not good as you are. It is still one way to advertise my blogs. I hope I could also earn some as a little of what you are earning. There is a lot of things I could learn from you. Thanks!

It never ceases to amaze me how the so-called i-know-how-to-make-money bloggers DO NOT know what to do with a network full of bloggers who

1. check their entrecard dashboards/messages/inbox and blog visitors regularly.
2. are keen on making more money online
3. still don’t know you exist and what you do online
4. could be blogging for their big companies and have the money to buy a more permanent ad slot on your blog

Stuck inside the “I’m-so-great” box eh? LOL

Congrats on the great contest results, Tyler. It’s good to see that many people showing up and actually making measurable money … gives the rest of us hope

Also congrats on booting Entre Card. Like you I found many features I liked but I dumped in months back becuase it provides mostly useless traffic. Trafic which doesn’t read your blog and has no affinity with what you are writing about is like driving a car on a treadmill … a lot of noise, wasted gas, but you get absolutely nowhere.

Traffic, by itself, is only overhead on your server … it has no value toward making money unless it connects with what you are trying to accomplish with your site.

Larger blogs like yours? Sorry I guess I missed something somewhere. Superficial Gallery got over 1 million page views last month and you had?

Most of the blogs you list show around the same traffic or higher traffic than yours and your que was never sold out because it can’t be sold out.

Tyler,

I don’t know you and I don’t know your blog, but it seem to me that every single advertising method you can find on the internet is meant to be a piece to a larger puzzle. If you use entrecard wisely you will recieve traffic, credits, contact, etc – but, if you think that you are to “big” and shouldn’t have to do anything other than sign up at a site and then everyone will somehow do the work for you, this is where you end up. Like you said, you paid $100 for advertising on another site, well you could spend $90 on ebay and get about 70000 ec and then you can advertise on jChows site more than a few times. Do you think that just because you are a larger blog that you shouldn’t have to do any work and earn a spot in EC? WHO ARE YOU? You either have to spend money or time, you didn’t want to do either.

EC Got me to your blog, by the way -

You do realise that there is no way you could have been sold out?
If your price was 64 credits, its because only 6 people were in your que
And the reason john chow costs 2048 is because 11 people are in his que!
And that price is determined only by the number of people who want to buy your ad space….

The que system changed when the price system changed. The que can never be full anymore…

Maybe you should also mention that the reason you left is because only 6 people wanted your adspot.
