I was just reading this post via my RSS subscription to Mystery Man’s Blog – Rants, Thoughts and Other Things and I have to agree whole heartedly on the way EntreCard is currently dealing with is paid ads service, so today is No Dropping Day.
An interesting discussion is going on at the entreblog.
Graham: (The BOSS)
The plan is to give members with the highest ratio of paid ad approvals first dibs on cashing out their credits.
Well, I don’t know the word dibs, but I understand the meaning here.
I feel the efforts of the droppers are completely neglected.
And I also feel the loyalty many have for the ads which were approved before the paid ads were introduced is not respected.Maybe it’s a good idea to chose a day we don’t drop, so Graham can get an idea how much we mean for the system.
When there are not enough droppers active he can’t do enough with his paid advertising.I’m calling a strike of entrecard droppers!!
Maybe friday is the perfect day for that.
To show the importance of droppers for the entrecard system.
To show we’re no second rate entrecarders.
To show we want to have complete control over our own site.
To get equal respect for EC and money paid advertisers.
To prevent the decay of the system.Get your graphic here.
To be clear: I’m not against contributing towards the continuation of the system. Not at all.
And I’m not against paid advertising.
In fact I’m all for two sided widgets, or even two widgets.
But that someone sees it fit to break an agreement and displays advertisements on my site without my consent really makes me mad.When we want to keep the system going and all have a good time droppers need to be respected to (by someone in his twenties who’s in it for the money. Let’s be clear about that.)
Come back on friday to see links to alternative activities. (No ads. LOL!)
update:
This morning I had a different ad in my widget than should be there.
When reloading I got another one; not the one that should be there.
Right now I’m surfing with blogexplosion. Bit of music, cup of coffee.
I’m even able to drop now and then.

Can you just cancel allthe paid ads in your blog? Is Entrecard forcing the ads on the blogs themselves?

Thanks for the link back. I don’t know how well this worked, but I hope it at least caused some notice to the entrecard folks.

Your welcome, I’m not sure how it did myself, drops to my site via EntreCard stayed about the same even though I wasn’t dropping.
Sheesh. I had no idea there was this much of an uproar over the addition of paying ads.

My ads window would be covered for months to come thanks to the paid ads from Entrecard. I think what Entrecard did not anticipate was that their price did not adjust to the market. They fixed the ad price so low that the demand exceeded the blog real estate available.

I joined entrecard the day this happened (I think) I’m still kind of new so I don’t really know the difference. I do remember 90% of all blogs I visited on that day were complaining about entrecard. Hope they work it out soon though. I’m not mad though…after all, this is all I know.
