Top Ten Entrecard Droppers For January 2010

Kamila has to say that whoever joins and actively take part in Entrecard is a winner. Credits earned by dropping can be used for advertising on other EC members' blogs or buying material goods and services in the Entrecard market place. There are many good friends to be made on Entrecard and Kamila is more than grateful for having made many.

This aside, Kamila is glad to announce more winners from Entrecard. This is a monthly accolade awarded to the top ten Entrecard bloggers who consistently dropped on Kamila's blog over the last month. It is nice to see new faces on this month's list and of course also glad to see old friends of Kamila still in the frame on a regular monthly basis. One old friend of Kamila's came out top this month Wineworld's Blog.

Don't forget that there is 300 credits to the top dropper and 100 the 2nd to 10th place! In Addition the top dog gets their EC widget on Kamila's home page for the following month. There is a regular feed giving the top five place daily so you know whether you are in contention throughout the month.

Entrecard - Profiteering and Expensive Ads

Kamila is back on the subject of Entrecard again after receiving an email telling her that EC credits are on sale from Entrecard. Here are the details:

10000 Entrecard Credits - USD$56.00 (get another 5,000 credits bonus!)
25000 Entrecard Credits - USD$125.00 (get another 12,000 credits bonus!)

So, for 1000 credits the cheapest you can buy these at until 1st August (tomorrow) is $3.38. This rises to $5 - $5.60 per 1000 as the now the normal price. Now Kamila isn’t being funny, but the previous $1 per 1000 EC that were being cashed in seems a drop in the ocean compared to what the going rate it now. She can’t see many people taking up this at these rates and to be quite honest advertising on Entrecard was always a pretty expensive business anyway even on $1 per 1000 EC credits.

Kamila can see why the EC credits for cash has been stopped as this would undermine the profits made by Entrecard. Again Kamila like many other bloggers aren’t too bother about that, but buying EC credits at the rate they are asking for is nothing short of robbery. Whether she thinks that because she has lived on a shoestring in Bulgaria too long may have affected her thinking.

Supply and demand rules in any business and Kamila thinks that this ‘offer’ won’t go do too well with EC members who just see it a profiteering. It will balance out though, and if no EC credits are bought they will have rethink.

Kamila thinks that the bottom line is Entrecard is a business and that business was bought to make money and no other reason. So why should we all be surprised with how things are developing here.

One last point Kamila must make is that it the wonderful Entrecard blogger members that make it worth staying in the community and that's why she is still here.
