Several blogs in the Entrecard network are displaying the independent ‘Chicklet’ widget. The widget is supposed to display certain information gathered from Entrecard. The domain hosting the widget has lapsed.
Unfortunately if your blog uses the widget any visitors will be redirected to a domain holding page. The only way to prevent your visitors being lost is to remove the widget.
Entrecard would like to remind our valued members the ‘Chicklet’ widget was created by an independent developer and beyond our control.

Hi everyone,
I hope everyone has had a good year so far! We have exciting new changes coming up in the new year including the one I would like to announce today.
We are very excited to announce that Entrecard is expanding its user base to regular website owners. Over the last couple of years, Entrecard has fulfilled its promise to bloggers by increasing traffic and allowing bloggers to network with one another. Without a doubt, the strength of the Entrecard network is its users. As the company moves forward, we would like to expand our user base to people with regular websites (not just blog sites). Entrecard has helped many bloggers achieve their online goals and we believe that Entrecard can offer the same great benefits to regular website owners. We would like to help them increase their traffic and network with people in their field. By opening up the Entrecard network, bloggers can also network with website owners too.
We understand your concerns about this expansion, but we can assure you that there will be no disruption to our current blogger network which all of you are on. We have created a new “site type” in our sign up form. From now on, anyone who signs up will have the option to classify his or her site as a “blog” or a “website.” Please also note that we’ve added new “site type” search field on http://entrecard.com/category/browser which also allows you to see what sites are on each network. These are the only changes you’ll see thus far. Over the next few months, we will be adding more search features so our users can distinguish between “blogs” and “website” in your drops.
By opening up Entrecard to regular websites (and not just blogs), we hope to open more doors and allow our members to network with more users. We’re focused on creating the best user experience that we possibly can and strongly believe that we are headed in the right direction.
Regards,
Cindy

Hi everyone,
We have received some concerns regarding the high 75% tax deducted from the price to advertise on your blog. So for the next 3 months we will be lowering the tax rate to 50%. This means that you will receive 50% of the price it costs to advertise on your blog! The other 50% will be deleted from our system. This is effective as of today. After 3 months, if there are no major problems with the EC inflation, we will keep the tax rate at 50%.
Please continue to email us at support@entrecard.com if you have any problems or concerns. We would love to hear from you. All emails will be answered within 24 hours.

The sponsor ads system is starting today. Currently, we are not taking any outside sponsors. As of now, there are only 2 ads in circulation. This first is an Entrecard ad that links back to entrecard.com. The 2nd ad is promoting Entrecard Market which is linked to entrecard.com/market. You can view the list of sponsors in your dashboard under the “sponsors ads” tab. Please note that you can disable one of the ads (not both) by clicking the button below the image. The remaining ad will run no more than 15% of your widget impressions. If you wish to opt-out completely, you can do so at the rate of $5/month or $50/ year (optional). This is also located under the “Sponsor ads” link.
Please note that this is a “beta” launch and we will carefully monitor the program. Please report any bugs, problems, and questions to support@entrecard.com. All emails will be answered within 24 hours. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Hello Entrecarders,
We just wanted to update everyone that the sponsor ads will be postponed for another week, until Oct. 5, 2009. When it is implemented, users will have the option to opt out of the sponsor ads program completely for a small fee. For just $50 a year, you can have your widget free of sponsor ads. We have provided this option for those of you who are concerned about the sponsor ads. Thank you for your support.

We are pleased that many members are taking advantage of Entrecard services and that Entrecard is able to help users increase traffic to their blog. However in order to continue providing this free service, we will be taking 15% of our entire ad network inventory for sponsors as of Sept. 28, 09. This is a standard business model used by free advertising networks. The revenues generated by our sponsors will help cover overhead expenses and keep our service free to all our members for years to come. To keep things simple and fair, all ads will be distributed evenly in our network. We are currently working on a feature that will allow users to disable sponsor ads that may conflict with their blog. This will be available in a few weeks.
Please be assured that we will screen all sponsor ads to ensure that they meet our guidelines. All sponsor ads WILL be family oriented, and will not promote nudity, violence or anything illegal.
We thank you for your support and understanding. We will continue to make improvements to our network. Our goal is to deliver more traffic to your blog, increase your readers and comments, and let you network with other bloggers. We will focus on fine tuning every aspect of our business to ensure that our users are happy in the years ahead.
