EC sponsored ads are advertising EC
October 8th, 2009 by GregEntrecard announced that sponsored ads are now appearing as of 6th October 2009.
They are stating :
‘Currently, we are not taking any outside sponsors. As of now, there are only 2 ads in circulation. This first is an Entrecard ad that links back to entrecard.com. The 2nd ad is promoting Entrecard Market which is linked to entrecard.com/market‘
Now to me that tells me two things:
1. They could not attract outside advertisers, maybe they valued the advertising real estate to high or potential advertisers thought/realised that with so many ads already on a lot of the blogs their ad would NOT be seen. I don’t know why but it does sound to me like they didn’t think this through properly before launching it.
2. These sponsored ads currently running will be in competition to the referal ads that Entrecard invited us to place on our blogs not too long ago, there is nothing in the latest blog post saying if they will be using referal links or not.

yeah, I’ve seen the ads. I agree it does appear as though they couldn’t attract advertisers.
as for the referral thing, I don’t care what they do with it, I’ve never had anyone join through the one I put up so makes no difference to me.
today, i see the ad displayed EVEN though I have paid entrecard people suppose to be advertising…doesn’t seem right…grr
I’ve given up.. unless something good happens soon..
I don’t even miss it..
