It’s been swell, Entrecard

Published by grandy at 6:00 am under Blogging Edit This

Many of you in the blogging world are aware of the changes happening over at Entrecard.  It’s really unfortunate that we are not able to continue our relationship at our today.com sites, but I still don’t get it  totally understand.  No really!  Grandy thoroughly understands a business need to part ways.  What I don’t really understand is…what everyone is saying.

I’m not one of those “power droppers”, I’m afraid.  As a matter of fact, I was more of a “power dripper”. 

Really!  I would read blogs about their drops, and could never figure out HOW people could possibly drop 300 EC a day, for each blog.  When I started this blog, I wasn’t even dripping 300 cards from my original site.  Have you ever noticed that when I post my “Top Droppers”, Functional Shmunctional, has never even been in the top 5? 

*sigh*

I have discovered many bloggy buddies through Entrecard.  This blog has only been around since January, but my relationship with Entrecard began before that.  I will continue my account there from my original site, for now, and see where it gets me.

Oh well.  Maybe now I should focus my efforts on how to generate some real traffic to my sites.

Until then…I’m afraid I will no longer be accepting any new ads here at this site.  I will let the ads run their course, and then remove my widget.  Thanks to all the sites that have purchased ads from here.  And thank you to all my top droppers here:

Dropper # of drops
The Junk Drawer 30
Computer Help and Advice 28
Rocket Scientist 22
Inspector Electra 19
Forced Green 18
SkyBar Farm Stuff 17
Tech-Blog 17
Sports Addict! 17
Good Old Rock 17
Redhead Ranting 16

You all rock my bloggy world!!  I’m linking you here so I can remember my faithful ones and be sure to come see you!!

    Hey, it’s probably just as well. We haven’t been able to use Entrecard all day!

    Being a bloggy newbie myself, a world outside of Entrecard scares me. But I’m gonna be brave, and try to persevere!

    Considering how many bloggers on Entrecard that are Today bloggers, it will be interesting to see how this plays out on both ends. My bet is all the other Entrecard users are going to see a dip in traffic, too!

    Matt~ Thanks for your kind words. I’ve had my other site with EC for over a year, and it wasn’t until I started this one that I discovered you too. I’m lucky! :)

    Jen~ Ditto hun! Oh…and I help people fight “The Man” all the time. ;)

    Oldwestmom~ Be brave. We’ll survive. It will be interesting to see what happens to EC. I will keep it up at my other site for now, but we’ll see.
