I killed Entrecard today. I removed it from MoreMerchant.com. I think it is a fun idea that has helped hundreds if not thousands of bloggers to develop blogs much quicker than if it was not around.
I do feel that Google may be punishing some people that use it. Also I feel that my advertisers do not like it as much either. Adsense and YPN do not want to pay as much per click. This could be due to the summer doldrums, or as I think both the summer doldrums and advertisers not liking Entrecard viewers.
So would I use Entrecard again? You bet I would. On the right blog at the right time I would definitely use Entrecard. It can help you get a blog off the ground quicker, thus weight your options and choose Entrecard if it can help you. But, and this is a big but… Know when to kill Entrecard.
I don’t think PR drop and EC had any connection in between them !!
Google punish EC users? How come? I don’t get it..
It might be not suitable for advertisers right now, but what I see that EC Team are trying to encourage the users to stay more longer by making some comments. That’s they doing with sezWho, I think…
i don’t know how google will punishing EC user. So far, i love to use it to get traffic to my site. I also get some friends by using EC.
Well.. Entre card is good for initial kickoff, but when your site reaches above 1000 visits per day.. I say drop it…. and capitalize on the momentum.. try to get organic search engine traffic for your blog…
Sir Robbie Rob got points lol
