Removal of the Entrecard

http://howisthebiz.com/wp-content/themes/linoluna/images/slideshows/entrecard.jpg

I hate when folks try and bully you into something. Sadly, when things start growing people's eyes look like saucers as they see profit. I just am not going to pay $50 to have no sponsors on my ads. I love the blogs I have been able to connect to all these years, but will not be the mulecart for some advertisizer.

They (entrecard administration) sent out this notice recently:

We are pleased that many members are taking advantage of Entrecard services and that Entrecard is able to help users increase traffic to their blog. However in order to continue providing this free service, we will be taking 15% of our entire ad network inventory for sponsors as of Sept. 28, 09. This is a standard business model used by free advertising networks. The revenues generated by our sponsors will help cover overhead expenses and keep our service free to all our members for years to come. To keep things simple and fair, all ads will be distributed evenly in our network. We are currently working on a feature that will allow users to disable sponsor ads that may conflict with their blog. This will be available in a few weeks.

Please be assured that we will screen all sponsor ads to ensure that they meet our guidelines. All sponsor ads WILL be family oriented, and will not promote nudity, violence or anything illegal.

We thank you for your support and understanding. We will continue to make improvements to our network. Our goal is to deliver more traffic to your blog, increase your readers and comments, and let you network with other bloggers. We will focus on fine tuning every aspect of our business to ensure that our users are happy in the years ahead.
