Alright, a lot of Entrecarders are angry about the paid ads system and refuse to allow them on their Entrecard widget. I’ve considered removing paid ads from my widget as well but have decided to let them stay. Here’s why:

I want to make sure Entrecard stays free. Okay, it probably will not matter what, but then again if they aren’t breaking even, eventually they will have to shut down. I definitely don’t want to see that happen. A (very) small portion of the revenue from paid ads goes to paying for Entrecard upkeep.

I want Entrecard to improve. The only way Entrecard is going to get better is if they have the funds to make it happen. I’m tired of Entrecard loading slow and the Entrecard widgets taking forever, aren’t you? Wouldn’t you like these to speed up? I’m sure if Entrecard had some more funds to put into their server, we would see faster loading times. Plus, I want Entrecard to improve with more features. The marketplace could definitely use some tidying up.

I want to sell my Entrecard credits. I’m not going to use all of my ECs, and I want to make money online, so I will eventually sell some ECs back to Entrecard. However, Entrecard buys their credits back depending on how much revenue comes in from paid advertising. I’ve got thousands of credits to sell, and I want to be able to sell them whenever.

Entrecard has provided us all something that has helped us. Now, our blogs are noticed. It’s easier for us to get our blogs out there to others. It’s only fair to help out and give back to the site that’s given our blogs new readers. It’s really not that big of a deal to accept paid ads.

If accepting paid ads results in less Entrecarders placing ads on my widget, then so be it. I’m not going to remove paid ads and try and horde all the ECs I can from Entrecard ads. If you’re so concerned with getting the maximum amount of exposure, then buy an ad directly on EntreBlast and you won’t have to worry about sharing your spot with other ads.

Hopefully, this has given you a new light on paid ads, and maybe it’ll change your mind about them.
