Blog From Cebu To The World

Entrecard is basically an online advertising system wherein you use points (entrecard credits or simply ec) to pay for a 24-hour advertising space in another’s website belonging to the community. It is very helpful to small and medium-sized blogs in increasing their traffic and visibility in the worldwide web.

That 125 x 125 adspace is the most popular these days. And you can actually advertise without using real money, but just entrecard credits. You earn points by: 1) dropping 2) getting drops and 3) selling ad spaces. More innovative ways of earning points includes 1) winning in a contest 2) direct buying from sellers, 3) subscribing to the feeds of certain bloggers, and 4) getting paid for goods and services sold using ec.

So who won? I promised I’d announce the winner of my little entrecard contest last Friday night. But I was too tired coming off from an out-of-town trip. I was also out whole day Saturday because of a company outing. Between 10 pm Friday and this hour, there was no other new commenter. Probably because my site was down again for 3 days and it was restored only yesterday afternoon. I hope it will be the last of those long downtimes.

Using random.org, I listed down the names of the 9 commenters. Yeah, only 9. I remembered three other names from my previous discontinued contest but since they did not comment again, I did not include their names. I guess they’re very busy with their offline lives too.

And the winner is (drum roll please):

Keith – He wins 500 entrecard credits plus a week of 125 x 125 adspace in my right sidebar. Congratulations!

Note: This is a repost of the last entry I published before my site went into a 3-week coma. I’m doubling the prize for my mini-contest plus a week of 125×125 adspace.

This blog will be two-months old a week from now. And just to celebrate and reward my readers, I’ll be giving away 500 entrecard credits (plus a week of 125×125 adspace in my sidebar) to a lucky commenter of this post. I’m sure plenty of you need more ec considering that it’s getting more expensive to advertise on your favorite blogs.

“53.85% of advert requests declined”goes my advert approval stats. But wait, don’t spank me or be bothered by it. This blog is only less than 15 days old (net of my downtime days) in the entrecardsphere. I’ve just probably declined around 10-12 adverts.

When I first joined entrecard, even before I learned what it is all about, I noticed that my ad price was only 2ec. I didn’t want to sell my blog adspace short so I declined the first wave of adverts. When I was already comfortable with the price (around 20ec which is still cheap), I started accepting the second wave of adverts.
