Win 10,000 Entrecard Credits

written by John Chow on April 24th, 2008

For the past few months, I’ve been letting my Entrecard credits build up. Currently, I have 18,817 EC credits sitting in my account. I’ve decided to give away 10,000 credits to a lucky blogger so he or she can try out the service.

Entering the contest is extremely simple. Just send a trackback by making a blog post about this contest on your blog. If the trackback doesn’t work, then leave the URL to your blog post in the comment. At the end of this month, I’ll draw a name from all the entries received and transfer 10,000 Entrecard credits into that person’s account.

You’ll need to have an Entrecard account to enter this contest. You can’t spend the credit anywhere else. For those who don’t know what Entrecard is, please read my original review of the service.

New Entrecard Pricing Model

The 10,000 credits will come in handy since Entrecard introduced a new demand based pricing model. Blogs that are in high demand has seen their prices skyrocket. This blog now cost over 1,000 credits to advertise on.

The new price model simply doubles a blog’s price every time someone purchases an ad, and halves it every time an ad completes its run. So if you cost 500, someone could buy an ad from you but they’d have to pay 1000. The next person would have to pay 2000. And so on. But then if two days went by and no one bought an ad from you, you’re price will halve each day. I guess if no one bought ads from me, my price will eventually fall to zero. Then again, the chance of that happening is zero.

Entrecard is one of the best way for new blogs to get targeted traffic. It’s the only way you can get a 125×125 ad on this blog and Problogger.net without paying cash for it. Right now, an Entrecard ad on Problogger cost 4,096 credits and if someone buys it, the new price will be 8,192 credits. That’s a lot of credits but you’ll be able to afford it if you win the 10,000 Entrecard credits. Good luck!

  1. Entrecard is one of the best ways to get targetted traffic to your site? You really want to stand behind a comment like that John? :evil:

  2. Finally!! A contest to give away your EC credits! I’ve been waiting for this one. And I was curious to see how many EC credits you had. 18,000+. Must be nice.

  3. JC, I discovered your site a few weeks ago and have been reading it religiously, but as of late, I’ve noticed that it’s been having performance issues (slow page loads, and even page cannot be displayed errors!). This really threw a wrench in my daily routine today, so just thought I’d make you aware if you didn’t already know :wink: . I know, I know, your fanbase is getting huge and the servers are now being brought to their knees right? LOL

  4. Mubin, I’ve advertised twice here with EC, and I got a bunch of clicks on those days.

  5. What was that John “You can’t spend the credit anywhere else”
    I guess you mean “You can” instead.

  6. I do not think entre card is good targeted traffic most just go entrecard hopping from one blog to another. I did a case study on it john and I didn’t see any good results with it

    might be good for people that just want traffic but I like traffic that converts :)

  7. I don’t have a Entrecard account. Guess I just don’t know enough about it.

  8. Just in case my trackback doesn’t work, here is my blog post about the contest: http://flimjo.com/?p=125. Good luck everybody!

  9. I was almost signed up for my new blog but then having to give my credit card out I wanted to make sure that i wouldn’t randomly withdraw money and that I was able to advertise only where I wanted. Maybe I should put a couple posts up before I start advertising. But thanks for the free $20 John.

  10. I am in too,
    http://www.bluenoser.net/2008/04/24/entrecard-contest/

    I look forward to spending some of these credits on this site :)

  11. Let the games begin!

    Later this week I’m gonna write a piece showing stats from EC visitors. I feel it has value, but it REALLY depends on what you’re trying to do.

  12. Sha

    Seems tempting. I keep hearing that the traffic isn’t that great though.

  13. Yeah I’ve seen zero results from Entrecard. I’ve actually placed Entrecard ads on John Chow, ProBlogger, and John Cow and didn’t get much.

  14. What do you guys think about the whole Power Dropping thing where people just drop by your site using those lists out there, drop their thing and leave. Kind of inflates your traffic numbers without it really being quality traffic.

    I guess some will stay though….kind of like StumbleUpon etc.

    Has anyone ever seen JohnChow or ProBlogger available though? I had the credits but the sites are always fully booked…:(

  15. Wow I’d love those credits. Nice contest John.

  16. Wow, great. I learn something new everyday. I missed the original review and after having read it, I agree this is something worth trying. I know I won’t win though, I never do.

  17. Hi John,
    I am entering your contest and I will feature your post in my blog (Points of View). Thank you so much. I learned so much from you since I started and I am glad that I have grown since then. Thanks again and God bless.

  18. Finally John Chow gives away free credits, i am waiting for this chance .Well ,i will post it later.

  19. Wow contest getting entries too fast!

  20. @Paul

    We changed our pricing. You can now buy an ad on any site at any time, permitting you have enough credits.

  21. @Debohobo
    @Neil
    People use Entrecard in many different ways. Did you know that you don’t need to drop to earn credits? Every time someone else drops on you, you earn credits, and every time you publish an ad, you earn credits.

    So it doesn’t need to be time consuming. In fact, you don’t really need to spend any time at all on it to passively earn credits.

  22. Entrecard is fun if you have some extra time to drop your EC . Seems like a nice contest but I think not all will be willing to participate since there is only going to be one winner :D . What about making it a contest for 10 winners with 1000 ec / winner :P

  23. Why aren’t you participating by dropping cards? :P

    Hi John,

    Thanks for the chance to win the credits.

    I did do a trackback but just in case :lol: it didn’t work the post with the link back to your site is http://www.moneyhomebiz.com/win-10ooo-entrecard-credits/

    Thanks again
    Lyn

  25. Yo chow not got any more yet for your lipo, but you can give us 10k of those entre card credits. I think its a bit crap really, as I have about 200 credits which took agest to get only to blow it on a half decent site in one day lol. Also dropping your fricking card around is not a GOOD feature, it adds time to what should have been an automated system.

  26. How many entries can I make ?
    Coz I have around 5 blogs :D

  27. Hi Chow man!
    I’m not sure about Tumblr sending Trackbacks so here’s a link on my Tumblr blog.

    Cheers!

  28. Hi John,
    First visit to your Blog and am blown away by your income posts. I will be back for some indepth reading on how you accomplished this. I was directed to you from a fellow Blogger and entered your contest. I am putting my URL below just for backup

  29. I haven’t tried to signed up yet, so far I’m collecting information about how it works & how it brings potential traffic to blog, but from what I’ve got here there are 2 opposites voices, one voices support it other discourage it…also you can check http://www.garryconn.com he asks its readers opinion about entrecard

  30. Blogger does not DO trackbacks, so here is my comment. Click my name to go to the post about your giveaway. :mrgreen: Thanks!

  31. In a sense, you still have to pay for the advertising. It is kind of like trading money. I do recommend my tutorial on getting 300 credits a day. It really pays off. I have slacked off on Entrecard and SiteHoppin. I need to put that on my to-do list for this evening.

  32. Hi, John
    I’ve just posted about your contest in my blog :wink:

  33. hey, whats the result..

    Take care that nobody else win :mrgreen:

  34. contact me if you want to hire people out of India at $2.50 per hour to do entrecard dropping for you ;-)

  35. I use entrecard myself, and let me tell you that this was a deal John had going last year. It takes time to build up so many credits.
