Say No To Entrecard Paid Ads

Are you an Entrecard.com member? Their system used to be the all-time fairest free advertising network around, and then “the powers that be” decided to crowbar in an ineffective and unfair cash economy which has damaged many aspects of their service.

If you don’t buy ads with cash but drop ads and buy them with credits you’re working and spending twice as much as you were a short while ago.

If you don’t want paid ads you may find yourself rejecting them for at least 10 to 15 minutes a day.

If you click on an Entrecard ad you will for 50% of the time be rewarding those who pay cash for advertising whilst punishing those who have actually taken the time to visit blogs and drop on them.

If you’d like to join us in our campaign for a “no paid ads option” at Entrecard you can begin by placing one of these buttons below your Entrecard widget.

The buttons provided are available to those who agree to use our link code, please don’t simply ‘steal’ the graphic as it costs me a great deal of bandwidth besides the time it took to design it. There’s logic behind the link, the more people that see the badge (and click on it) the more people will be converted to the cause. Simply pasting up the badge is self-serving and doesn’t actually help build the numbers of those who would like to join our cause. If you need help inserting the code please contact me via Entrecard – if you insist on using the badge without the code at least provide a post on your blog mentioning and linking to our list so we may one day force the hand of Graham Langdon in to relenting on the awful paid ads scheme!

Once you’ve added your button leave a comment with your blog’s url so we can add you to the official “Say No To EC Paid Ads” list! All of the following blogs guarantee that 100% of their visitors will view your credit purchased Entrecard ad!

***UPDATES***

Implementation of sponsor ads program Oct. 5

$50 tax will be enforced on all those who refuse to accept sponsor ads each and every year. Is this per user, per blog? This is an absolute betrayal of everyone who has worked to build up Entrecard.com to what it is today. I really doubt a button or badge is going to do much to prevent this, after the sale of the company everyone expected it to be an end to the era of greed. Not so. I am stumped. Read the arguments against here.

    Hi Paul! I haven’t got your widget up (yet-I have the “duck widget” I found on another site) but I haven’t been accepting paid ads for a long time.

    The way GL is acting reminds me of AOL before I left–kept doing things that the members didn’t like (and in AOL’s case claiming members had asked for) and then ducking and running whenever anyone complained. From what I’ve heard AOL is a sinking ship financially, let’s hope GL isn’t trying to follow their example!

  • mike golch July 17, 2009 at 4:16 am

    I added you widget to my site.I have not nor I shall except paid ads as well.

  • Ruth July 21, 2009 at 5:12 am

  • admin July 21, 2009 at 11:21 am

    http://handmadecraftygoodness.blogspot.com/
    http://mouserkins.blogspot.com/

    sorry you won’t be running this section any more, but it is STILL a great cause.

  • admin August 9, 2009 at 5:16 pm

    Hi Jenn thanks for getting on board the campaign. Don’t worry since the handover at Entrecard I have decided to stick it out – either way this campaign will always be here to help fellow Entrecarders. Your blogs have been added to the official list. ;)

  • nunpuns August 23, 2009 at 6:16 am

    Nunpuns are on the bandwagon!

  • admin August 23, 2009 at 10:16 am

    Thanks – your link has been added!

    What if we all somehow protest the EC changes, find a way to convince them to change things back the way it used to be. Don’t know if that’s possible, but I’m sure EC doesn’t want to loose all there members.

    Found this today, thought I would share it with you:
    http://entrewas.blogspot.com/2009/10/protesting-against-unapproved-ads-at.html

  • admin October 24, 2009 at 1:13 pm

    I can understand why people think this might help but in all honesty many of top entrecarders have left now and more to follow – a banner is not enough. Unlike Langdon the new owners have paid to much money for EC to risk losing any. Shame though. I’d invite any new ideas though.

  • TMinut December 13, 2009 at 7:14 am

    Yikes! A couple?few? months ago my widget stopped working, finally started a new blog and came back. I was surprised to find ads already running, didn’t know where they could have come from, guess I’d better read up on entrecard again. I read about ‘paid ads’ and thought it might be something good but someone above said WE don’t get paid anything. Even getting $ for entrecard doesn’t sound bad but I don’t know the effects this has on drops and advertising my card and others on my blog. I’m off to read the apparently new terms now.

  • Andrea December 18, 2009 at 5:37 am

    Just added the button!

  • admin December 18, 2009 at 5:16 pm

    Many thanks Andrea – your blog is now on the official list!

  • admin March 20, 2010 at 1:40 pm

    Many thanks Anita – you’ve been added.

  • inzoneinternet April 12, 2010 at 7:45 am

    Hi, I have place your button or link here:
    http://inzoneinternet.com/2010/04/12/the-unspoken-rules-proper-use-of-entrecard/

    At the right side bar of the same post you will see a banner that says “Entrecard Drop Lists”, that banner will lead to the post you are looking at.

    If it is possible I would like to be added to your Drop list. I have my Entrecard Widget above the fold. IF NOT, it is OKAY. I will still keep your button there for others to make use of. Thanks for the awesome Drop List!

  • admin April 12, 2010 at 1:13 pm

    Thanks, but we ask that Entrecard members place our linkable button as close to the Entrecard widget as possible. That’s the whole point, to encourage other Entrecard members to avoid sponsored ads. If you do decide to move it let us know.

  • uliran April 17, 2010 at 8:34 am

    Just added the widget…Also, may I ask you what can you say about this post. It’s the reason why dismembered from entrecard my two sites with adsense

  • admin April 17, 2010 at 11:17 am

    Thanks for adding the button Uliran. You have been added to the official list. All I can say about the blackjack game is that it seems to have been closed.

  • Lydia @ On The Verge April 30, 2010 at 8:10 pm

    I have put your button up on my blog. Please add me to the list.

  • admin April 30, 2010 at 9:01 pm

    Hi Lydia, many thanks for joining the cause. Your blog has been added to the official list ;)

  • Anonymous July 1, 2010 at 11:57 am

    I just found out about this button right now, its a shame what entrecard has come to. I’ve gotten my credits by simply clicking on the drop button manually. Thanks for sharing this button.

  • admin July 1, 2010 at 12:23 pm

    Many thanks for your comment and uploading our button. Your blog has been added to the official list!
