Entrecard; changes to the new rules
As you probably know; one of the “ad systems” I am using is Entrecard. Just see my post about the Entrecard Widget.
Last week the members of Entrecard received a message from Entrecard with a big announcement.
They announced a “Third Party Ad Network”.
Very short; they will run (beside the old fashioned EC ad) also real ads. And you can even earn money with this = yep – real short uh..??
BUT; they had some rules which made big worries at the Entrecard user.
Well; a couple of those rules already did change;
- “Above the fold rule” – which was demanding to place your ad on a place where people could see it RIGHT at the first view = so on the top part of your blog.
This one has been changed into “One page down rule” – so one hit on the page down button should give the Entrecard ad. (counting with a 1920*1200 screen)
- To NOT run those ads on your page – you have to pay a fee; nope – not anymore = there will be NO fee if you decide to NOT accept third party ads !
As Entrecard users did not get an email update about these changes – I just wanted to share them with you.
