I’m about to quit Entrecard but I still need to see whether I’ll join CMF ads

I saw your profile on Blog Catolog and stopped by. Great, great blog, you do a wonderful job. I thought to respond to this post as it is more relevant now, then when you first wrote it. Things are heating up in the battle for the almighty 125 by 125 widget

EC has now dropped the price to $1.00 for every 1K of credits and buys them back from the users- although the backlog is so huge and “making credits” so easy I think most people won’t ever see their credits turn into cash.

Howdee….Good point! Entrecard is free but when you get down to it, it eats up so much of your time. But I will never trade all the knowledge that fellow Entrecard bloggers have given me.
But blogging should be about…blogging! What’s the use of traffic if your blog sucks. Content is king. And bloggers can tell if your site has sense or not. So now I have added CMF to my site because it’s nice to join another community. I’m sure CMF bloggers are more relaxed than Entrecard members. But I will welcome all of them because I wanna share my thoughts to as more people as possible. It’s all a metter of time management, don’t you agree?

God bless,

A late comment here, sorry. In a further reply to Jennifer, I’ve joined CMF Ads and have never spent a penny on placing ads either. I ran ads on my site for a month and then I had enough credits to “buy” some myself. And it’s SO much less effort than Entrecard.

I’m running down Entrecard now, mainly because of the rather bullying attitude of the owner when people disagree, but since the decision I feel quite liberated!

I’m over Entrecard now. I’m just letting the ads already booked run out then the widget goes.

It was good initially and I found lots of interesting blogs through it. But the dropping grows tedious, and unproductive, and I found it just difficult to actually use all the credits I accumulated. Plus, a lot of the interesting blogs I’d found through Entrecard eventually dropped out of it and I wasn’t really finding any worthwhile new ones.

@Sarah — CMF is free. You can just earn real money, if you like.

Chilly,

Thanks for your kind words. I will certainly continue to visit On The Bricks and Blog 2 Sides. Love the recipes.

Stan, Turnip, Plot Dog,

Thanks for the Stumbles. They are much appreciated.

Jennifer,

Do you really feel that your Time has No value?

Skepto,

I think you are right that Entrecard may be much more suited to brand newbie bloggers who are still working to be discovered and find their first readers and commenters.

Sarah,

Do you realize that as a blog owner you can put up the CMF widget at no cost or obligation and sell ads that earn you credits that worth real money, rather than credits that the issuer prohibits you from selling for cash?

My sincerest thanks to all who commented on this post. I really, Really, REALLY appreciate it.

Alan

Personally I like Entercard, I like the fact that it is free. I don’t know about paying money on something that might not build you up a regular readership, seems iffy to me.
