Chute Mon, 09 May 2011 11:02:00 +0000 http://www.redheadranting.com/?p=876#comment-20450 I have been considering leaving EC for sometime. Fortunately/Unfortunately the decision to leave was not mine! On Saturday I somewhat berated EC on a Forum |adgitize.com| On Sunday at 5am est. I decided to move my EC widget to its own 'static' page tabbed 'ENTRECARD' on both my blogs. See for yourselves. By Sunday at 5:30pm est my EC |donechute.com| account was deleted. This on a Sunday eve...Mother's Day too boot, coming from a website that took them eternity to wipe their own asses! By 5:50am est today, my other blog |decente-contro-perverso.blogspot.com| was deleted also... I smell something fishy! I will stay with adgitize and I have already explored Tribal Blogs. GOOD F'ING BYE ENTRECARD! PLU! I have been considering leaving EC for sometime.

And it does take up way too much time. I do like seeing that a whole bunch of people are "interested" in my blog, even if it is fake. I am so happy though that you commented on my blog, and that I REALLY REALLY checked out your blog. I love it, and I love your rantings! They are amazing. And how dare I not really look at it before, since I am in love with all red heads! They are the most incredible things on this earth! (After faeries of course... and the red head faerie... WOW!)

Now that I am forced to allow both EC and paid ads share my widget, I'm gone. The great thing about Internet flatulence is no one has to suffer when they breathe.

I did read about the Ghost dropping on Martins blog. But really did not understand any of it. Having read more I get it...All those strange widgets some who do not have a widget on their blogs, in my drop box now I get it. Well I do not like the dropping much but I do at least 900 drops and about 300 visits to non EC users. It would be nice not to have to drop. I'm with you on the content...EC has a lot of Ads only(which I thought was a no no)and Newbie writers ( Me for one). I have started stepping out to other advertisers. Some day I will graduate from Entrecard and take my place to the real blogger world. .-= Auntie E´s last blog ..<a href="http://2good2bee.blogspot.com/2010/02/wordless-wednesday-valentine-bear.html">Wordless Wednesday-Valentine Bear</a> =-.

I wonder why that is? I don't feel that same obligation. Is it because I am just socially retarded? No idea. But I only drop if I find something interesting on the site. I never drop on sites that are just advertising or completely lame. I also sometimes don't drop if I have a hard time reading the site (i.e. people with less than great English skills). I'm really bad at clicking on the links I add to my blog (not to mention bad about adding blogs to my list) so EC is sort of a "favorites" bookmark tool for me. :) .-= megscole64´s last blog ..<a href="http://amidclutter.blogspot.com/2010/02/celebrate-valentines-day-even-now.html" rel="nofollow">Celebrate Valentine's Day, Even Now!</a> =-.

Mostly it is because the writers aren't very good. Even if it is a topic I'm not particularly interested in, if it is written well, I will still read it. I've caught myself reading blogs whose topic does not interest me, not because of the topic but because the writing was so great. I have found that there are many blogs that I have interest in the topic, but the content is crap. .-= DogsDeserveFreedom´s last blog ..<a href="http://dogsdeservefreedom.blogspot.com/2010/02/news-reel-update-on-brittany-and-rambo.html" rel="nofollow">News Reel - Update on Brittany and Rambo</a> =-.

I have stopped dropping, and stopped advertising, and my stats have dropped again. I just don't want to have to do that every day. You are right - It's boring! I can count on one hand how many blogs I've found through Entrecard. Mostly I find them by reading comments on the blogs I read. If the comment interests me I click through to that persons blog. If I need Entrecard to get readers, I can't be a very good blogger. Though I must admit that my comments have reduced since I stopped dropping, so I know that some people use that as a way of connecting to a blog on a regular basis. Still, I may well leave Entrecard again. .-= babs - beetle´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BeetleBlog/~3/DfSgcYGV-6I/" rel="nofollow">Fivestones or Jacks, it’s all the same to me</a> =-.

Thanks for finally speaking up! Comedy Plus: The thing about refusing to drop on someone, if you use the toolbar, is that you are already there increasing their traffic and possibly reading what they have written. It doesn't matter if they have pop ups or roll over ads they still get seen. And that pisses me off. There was no way not to end up on their blogs. Rebecca: I quit before too but that was because it was summer and I had better things to do with my time. In the winter I don't really. But I would rather read, write, comment or watch TV than drop cards on blogs I think suck. Not all of them do, there are 50 or so that are really good but I can visit them w/o EC. Brandy: EC was a godsend when I first started blogging, I was stuck in a small community of bloggers, most now gone. EC opened a new world of bloggers to me and I am grateful but it's time to move on now. I might be back but I hope not. Megs: Yes, I really enjoy your writing and will continue to visit. Hopefully you will stop by every now and again too. Rick Rolled is when someone plays the song Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley from the late 80's over and over again. It was big with the kids a few years ago but I thought it had died. I used to like that song years ago but now it is ruined. Hope it doesn't happen to you. I don't know what blog it happened on because it would freeze up Firefox and I would have to close the whole thing down. It sucked.
