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.
Here is a great comment about switching to Adgitize.com put forward by Jackie here.
“Adgitize gives everything 100% if you do 51 drops a day. They have figured out how to do this and make a profit. Why can’t EC?”
===============================================================================================
If you need more sources for “no paid ads” do check out the list at http://www.mamaflosatx.com (on the right hand side – NOW REMOVED?) – if you offer or know of any more lists do let us know!
More Greg Matthews news:- following the recent Entrecard debacle where for a period of a few days the system offered blank advertising, failed to record drops and generally ****** everyone concerned off (without a single public apology mind you) Greg has been studying his own solution and will be ensuring that his database doesn’t suffer from the same problems. Essentially using a series of backup databases to ensure no records are lost – plus I am sure if he did he would apologise at the very least – unlike the Graham and his EC cronies who literally hid under their bed covers until (they hoped) the whole incident would be forgotten. Wrong move Graham Langdon! Good thinking Greg!
Greg Matthews is still working on his alternative version of Entrecard, due to his giving up smoking he has understandably been taking time away from the PC to avoid the temptation. However progress is still under way with a new widget now complete (no html version as yet) and a poll on the main focus for the new system. Show your support and take part in the poll here.
I have been informed by some of our badge supporters that certain blogs are using the badge without including a link back, apart from being selfish this is also stealing my bandwidth. The link is vital to generating support and I urge those who have omitted the link to this page to add it! I contribute to the cause by paying bandwidth for the badge and providing a list of the those who support our cause. This page provides extensive reasons for adding the badge. Seeing as I took the time to design it and provide bandwidth it would be nice to see those who don’t want to help anyone but themselves to at least write a blog post about the badge and include a link to this page? I have added a note to inform new users of exactly why we need their link back.
If you want to see who is accepting paid Entrecard ads immediately, browse their blog with Firefox using the Adblock Plus add-on. Any paid ad will show up as a blank square which is another reason not to pay for EC advertising!
Gregory Mathews a long term member of Entrecard has been working on a new script to create his own alternative system which will be purely credit based, he says the new site will be available in around a month, keep your eyes peeled! Check out the post at
