So I’ve been a member of the Entrecard community for a couple of months now and though I’ve gotten a bit extra traffic from the site I don’t think it’s the best use of my time or bandwidth. As such, I’ll be removing the Entrecard card from this blog in the next few days and am giving away all of my Entrecard credits.
Right now I have 912 953 1,000 Entrecard credits in my account and will let the remaining ads run out before closing my account. There are two ways to enter this Entrecard credits contest. First, simply leave a comment below (make sure to fill in your e-mail address) and you will get one entry into the contest. Second, if you write a blog post about this contest with a link back to this post you will get ten entries (make sure to send me an e-mail or leave a comment pointing me to your blog post). The contest will run for one week, ending on July 2nd, 2008 at 11:59PM Boston, MA time.
At that time I will randomly choose one person to win all of my Entrecard credits! You, along with two runner ups, will also be mentioned in a winner’s blog post and receive a link back to your blogs.
Good luck to everyone!
That’s too bad that you’re leaving. I just joined so I could use the EC credits. Good luck!
That’s bad. I just started with entrecard and a bad experience comes up. I know it’s difficult to browse and drop comments. i’m still trying. Best of luck for your blog..
Oh, I didn’t have a bad experience with Entrecard, up until recently when I was listed on fark.com, Entrecard was responsible for my highest traffic day so I certainly received a good benefit from the community. I may return to the community down the line but for now it’s just time for a reorganization of this blog and the EC widget is simply the first to go.
Good luck to both of you in the contest and the EC community!
I’ve only been a member of entrecard a few days, but so far im enjoying it. I plan on evaluating the results of my time and effort after a month, similar to what you have done. I’m rather happy so far with the extra visitors, I’ve received 7 or 8 new members to my site in the past few days. Good luck and hopefully I will see you around the entrecard site in the future!
Alex I had no idea entree Card took up so much bandwidth..i mean really ..Does it?? I AM 4 REAL
I have heard about EC giving some effect but not sure how true is that.
Anyway. Here is my entry.

I agree with the fact that it takes too much bandwidth. Next few days I’ll find if it’s worth wasting..
I was wondering why it was 930 EC instead of a 1000. Good luck to me and you!
Good luck to us! I’ll let you know if i’ve blogged about it 🙂
It’s not so much the bandwidth as the time Zoroaster7. Dropping cards and approving advertisements were distractions from focusing on making this site better and so instead of putting forth a half-effort towards the Entrecard community I’d rather suspend my Entrecarding while I rethink whether it is worth it or not.
Traveller, it’s 930 EC credits because that’s how many I have at the moment. When all is said and done it may move up to 1000 credits, especially since I’m accepting advertisements up until the end of this contest.
I’ll second Khyle, good luck to all of you!
Really sorry to see you go Adam.
On the off chance, you may want to stick around for our big announcement this week. You may find yourself wanting to stay… can’t say anything more though!
Hmm…well I’m certainly intrigued Graham! I’ll update you and everyone else about my Entrecard status after the big announcement. In either case the contest will continue on and is up to 960 credits now.
The grand prize is now officially 1,000 Entrecard credits!
