Agreed. I despise visiting a massive majority of blogs found on entrecard. I have found some of the “better” and “more interesting” blogs aren’t always the most popular. I have found many many better blogs on certain blogging communities such as 20 something bloggers.

Paid posts annoy me too. Especially when you come across a dozen or so that are posting the same paid post. Ads annoy me only when they are used in excess, although I’d prefer going 100% ad free all together. But I suppose you’re right any traffic source is better than no traffic source at all.

I think entrecard is how I discovered you. (Or maybe it was you that discovered me?)

I don't want to talk you out of something you may not like. But you have the option on Entre Card so that NO Paid Advertisers can drop. If that makes you feel any better. Every card I drop I check out and post on the blog. Because of Entre Card I have met a bunch of new people, new blogs and have gained so many ideas! I would hate to see you leave it! But you have to do what you feel is right. Stacie’s last blog post..Huge Celebration

I support your choice! Personally, I prefer no ad pages, but to each their own. SSQUo’s last blog post..A memory

I wish you well whatever you decide.If you get lots of traffic from search engines then that's great. I find even though I have many blogs bookmarked I don't visit as often since they no longer use Entrecard. Jude’s last blog post..Sunday Bits And Pieces

I was out of entrecard for a while...it hurt my visibility a lot...traffic really went down...no matter how artificial the traffic from entrecard is...it still bring visitors to your sight...how you make the most out of those fleeting visits is really up to you...I know for a fact that it is harder to draw traffic on your own...think about your decision many times before you make your final move!

I don’t mind seeing a reasonable amount of ads on blogs. Some bloggers use their blog to supplement their income. I hate seeing paid posts though, it’s like the blogger sold their soul

You could always leave the Entrecard widget up for anyone who wants to drop, but stop dropping yourself.

I don’t see the point in visiting 300 blogs your not interested in just to drop a card. I only drop on blogs I’m visiting anyway.

I've kept it for more than a year but I'm going to pull it soon. It brought some good traffic and helped me build my reader, which I believe is probably the extent of its usefulness. Most of the EC blogs I find are worthless to me. feefifoto’s last blog post..I Can't Stop: This Cough Is Making Me Crazy
