Literally.
Entrecard’s host has been the victim of an electrical fire and won’t be back up for up to 12 hours. That’s 12 hours of dropping you all miss out on :( but don’t worry - all your credits should still be intact. Lets see if they compensate people for the advertising time they miss out on…
Update: It seems Entrecard is once again serving ads, so good news for those who are paying entrecards for ads that weren’t showing EXCEPT that the ads don’t link properly (if you want to test this, try clicking the ad on my page, just links to Entrecard’s error home page). Hopefully they’ll get this sorted out soon, but they’ve updated there site saying they have no ETA, so it’s anyone’s guess when they’ll be back.
It seems entrecard is currently down. They say they should be up in ten minutes…lets see what’s new!

The new entrecard formula is ridiculous.
The idea is good and sound (prices increase as demand increases) but the implementation is bad. Some blogs are over 200,000 Entrecard points! W.T.F!
I don’t really have much to say about this except that this new pricing strategy really makes the 500 EC points I won only this morning nearly worthless. Good on ya, Entrecard!
Today I woke up, had a shower, checked my emails - just what I usually do in the morning before school. But guess what was in my inbox? None other than an Entrecard Coupon for 500 Points. Unfortunately, It wasn’t sent direct (it was sent to my email address) so I can’t thank them directly. I have now learned (thanks to a very helpful commenter - thanks Tom!) that it was Jeff from Buzzmyblog.com - thanks Jeff!
Turns out I won his weekly competition (which I hadn’t even remembered entering!) and now I have an awesome review over on his blog, and 500 Entrecard points! This really just re-iterates my previous post on competitions and why you should enter them! So I suggest you all get over to Buzzmyblog.com and enter the weekly Buzz!
Now, off to school…
Entrecard users will, no doubt, be aware of what dropping your card is. Every day you’ll have to drop you card on dozens, if not hundreds of blogs to get your points up. The more cards you drop, the more points you get - the more points you get, the more blogs you can advertise on.
I’d like to share with you all a very useful utility i just found on oblife.com, which can help your drop at the speed of light.
Click here to take a look.
Basically, what you do, is enter your entrecard user ID and click browse. The script will then automatically load a new entrecard blog that you haven’t viewed yet, so you can drop your card and then click browse again to load a new blog. You can drop up to 300 cards a day, so do this 300 times a day and you’ll be racking up the cards! If you’ve got more than 1 blog/account then, heck, just keep dropping! You could easily rack up thousands of points a day.
Remember, the more drops, the more points, the more advertisements, the more visitors to your blog and therefor the bigger your audience and bigger your profit.
