Win 500 EC from Project: Sugarbuzz!
Welcome back! Have you joined my mailing list yet?
I've decided to have a contest. Unfortunately, I don't have the hookups to give away snazzy prizes like iPods or laptops. Heck, if I had a good laptop, I'd keep it.
On the other hand, if you use Entrecard, you may be in luck!
I am giving away 500 EC credits to a random mailing list subscriber! All you have to do is join my mailing list. On March 1st, I will randomly select a winner and send 500 credits to their Entrecard account.
You'd better get started! This should be an easy contest!
Oh, and do leave a comment if you are entering...it's nice to hear from people once in a while!
Bonus: If you subscribe to the newsletter AND grab our RSS feed, you can also win a 14 pack of PHP scripts AND a copy of Auto-Content Pro with MRR!
If you like these posts and want to stay in the loop, please subscribe to my RSS feed and follow me on Twitter. And if you really like this stuff, you can buy me a coffee! Oh, and if you like being an insider, be sure to join the mailing list...I never spam, but you will get some insider specials!
Entrecard Quick Drop: Shut Down or Be Removed
From an email from Entrecard:
Greetings,
This message is to inform you that effective July 1, 2008, Entrecard will be purging from its system the accounts of all members currently operating "Quick Drop Pages". We have assembled a massive list of all quick drop pages, and starting on the above mentioned date, we are going to go through the entire list and close the accounts of all the owners.
To avoid having your account with Entrecard permanently removed, you must take down your quick drop page before July 1. If we open a quick drop page with your widget on it, your account will be removed from Entrecard without warning.
What is a Quick Drop Page?
Here is an example:http://entrecard.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/screenhunter_02-jun-26-1736.gif
Quick drop pages are single pages with your Entrecard widget, made to load quickly and display your widget and not much else. Many quick drop pages have just a widget, and maybe an ad or some other type of widget. If you have a quick drop page, you must take it down immediately.
Why are Quick Drop Pages bad?
Quick drop pages devalue our network as a whole, by motivating members to drop on the same, quick loading pages, en masse to gain credits quickly and efficiently. Their traffic is going to these quick drop pages instead of being dispersed among quality blogs. It goes against the spirit of Entrecard, and is essentially a scheme to gain credits quickly.How will you find them?
Luckily for us, people running "quick drop", or "powerdrop" pages have listed themselves all over the internet, and we've amassed a list that we believe includes every power drop page in existence. Additionally, members dropping on "quick drop pages" may start receiving stiff credit penalties for every drop they do on quick drop pages, as it is not a visit to a blog and thus an illegal drop.For more info see our blog:

I have removed my Entrecard quick-drop page from this site. Since a decent chunk of my traffic comes from Entrecard, I value having an account with them.
I can't really understand how it affects the value of their network, but I can see how it really defeats the purpose of EARNING your Entrecard credits by dropping on other blogs.
I would like to see them go back to the old method of pricing advertisements. Ah well, it's their network. Whatever they want to do...
