Entrecard is starting to do some spring cleaning by deleting accounts with sites that do not comply with the Entrecard Terms of Service. If you’re site is deleted because it violates the TOS, you will receive an e-mail letting you know and a chance to fix the problem.

As a reminder, the rules for Entrecard sites are:

• English Only
• No Nudity
• Minimum of 5 posts
• Content must be updated in the last three months
• No full screen ads or popups
• No illegal file downloads
• Entrecard widget must be present
• No duplicate accounts

And you can learn more about the rules by visiting Entrecard’s Terms of Service page. If you’re site is violating a rule, fix it now!

I received a PM over on the CMF Ads forums from Paul who owns Technically Easy, a tech blog, about a fix for a problem I, and apparently others, have been having with OIOPublisher. When I announced I was raising the ad prices on EntreBlast, I included a mini rant about how I can only charge 999.99 ECs max. Whether the ad price was set for 1,000 or 10,000 ECs, it would only charge people 999.99 ECs (technically 999 ECs)…

With that said, the price for a one month ad will be rising to 1000 ECs. Well, technically 999.99 ECs because Entrecard has ridiculous, annoying trading limits that I don’t understand.

I thought it was due to the 1,000 EC max trade limit Entrecard has used to have.  But, it turns out even after the increase to 25,000 ECs, the problem with OIOPublisher charged 999.99 still existed.

Well, there is a solution. And it’s simple too.  All it takes is a simple edit to one of the OIO Publisher databases and voila! However, I’m giving credit where it belongs so head on over to Technically Easy for the solution to the OIOPublisher 999 EC limit.
