1. If I didn’t have to approve advertisers You can set up advertisers to auto approve and can set it to approve all advertisers or just those you’ve approved before.

2. If there was a Firefox Add-on that alerted you to an Entrecard site There is! The Entrecard toolbar for Firefox does just that an lights up if a site is an EC site. It gives you the option to quick-advertise on them or add them as a favourite too.

3. If users had the ability to add favorite sites and setup auto advertising It doesn’t have auto setup yet unfortunately but you can add favourite sites and then open up a page with all of your favourites on and quick advertse on each one. This is precisely why I use Entrecard. I like that I can open up 10 or so of my favourite photography sites (for instance) and see what’s new with them and I find the other ad platforms don’t allow for such good categorization.

4. If it actually generated substantial traffic I find it better than the other platforms in that people stay longer on the site. I think this is down to me only targeting blogs similar to mine though. So it is “bloggy friends”. I don’t depend on it though and am slowly but surely building up my search engine traffic.

5. If I took it seriously The only thing I take seriously is enjoying blogging and finding interesting articles and blogs to read myself!

I think what bugs me is that over the years, there are very few things that have worked: Stumbleupon is by far the best source of traffic for me, and worth every minute invested. A lot of things fall far short in terms of the proportion of reward for time invested. That having been said, Entrecard works for some.

Oh, stumbling this post.

John, by now, you know that you can automatically approve Ad requests on Entrecard, don’t you?

We agree: “If users had the ability to add favorite sites and setup auto advertising”… that’s actually a great idea.

Gaining credits is simple. It’s spending them which is difficult. Only a few, select blogs receive “any legitimate traffic outside of Entrecard.” Do you know what we mean?

If I were you, I would reevaluate your connection to Entrecard. Your blog is a top 30k (per Alexa.com) site with a DoFollow PlugIn, and most likely a decent amount of subscribers. Assuming, from your comments that your interaction is minimal with Entrecard, a blogger can have their 125 Ad on your blog for 24 hours for basically nothing. ( A spot on ExtremeJohn is going for 16EC as of right now.) That means that once can receive the benefit of a lot of non-Entrecard, non-Adgitize, non-CMF traffic at a discount.

You can find good blogs like ExtremeJohn and Source Blogger under the Blogging Resources section in Entrecard.

John, check out Source Blogger (www.source-blogger.com)

Thanks!
