I use the Entrecard Marketplace heavily though and can gain better traffic bursts by spending credits in the marketplace, I also can earn far more credits there by offering guest blog posts and social submission services. However, I miss visiting others blogs with the dropping and the advertisers who don't run blogs make it hard to do my click drops to see who's next. I like seeing new badge images and checking out the blogs that use them. <abbr><em><abbr><em>Dragon Bloggers last blog post..<a href="http://www.dragonblogger.com/hootsuite-the-ultimate-twitter-management-tool/" rel="nofollow">HootSuite - The Ultimate Twitter Management Tool?</a></em></abbr></abbr></em> I have not dropped Entrecard, but I have virtually done away with dropping except for once a week to visit my visitors and comment and blog back.

If I leave the widget there and I get the odd new visitor from it it's good. If I don't then I've not lost a bean. Some days I drop a lot, most days I drop only a dozen or so..
