The result of my ads on johnchow.com and johncow.com are much less than worth it. For 2048 credits (John Chow) and 1024 credits (John Cow) you get:

THATS IT!?!? REALLY?

I knew that Entrecard was not that good but this confirmed how bad it really is. I get more traffic if I power drop E cards than I get if I buy an ad on one of the top blogs in the world.  This is understandable, however, because if you power drop 300 cards a day, those 300 people are more likely to click back to your site, rather than the thousands that see your ad on another site. This just perpetuates the insanity which is Entrecard.

Despite the poor results I will continue to use the system. Why? Because Entrecard still brings in a lot of traffic for me. However, I won’t be buying any more ads on more popular sites. My advice to anyone, is to buy multiple ads on smaller site rather than 1 ad on a more popular site.

PS. I know that if I had a naked woman on my ad I would have seen much better results (ie. Stak Loaded) but I have a rather plain (but unique) ad and so these are probably more typical results.

PPS. A cool side note, both John Chow And John Cow have bought ads on my site in return.
