Entrecard Advertising Make Drop Hopping Inefficient

One of my favorite ways to find new bloggers and to perform my EC drops is to visit someones blog and click on the EC badge to visit the next blogger, I used to do this repeatedly and visit forty to fifty blogs a day through this badge hopping method. I would follow, read a post, drop, comment, and I would find some cool blogs that I hadn’t found before. You can find new blogs instead of always dropping on the same ones in your inbox over and over, and I have used this to find and make new blog friends as a result.
Now that Entrecard has opened its network to advertisers which don’t have to be bloggers, too often now the Badge hopping tactic is wasted as I end up on an advertiser site with no badge, or the same advertiser is on ten blogs sites in a row, so I can’t drop on them multiple times. This means I am now resorting to doing EC drops from my inbox, with only the occasional EC Badge Hop when I see an EC Profile I don’t recognize, I am so familiar with around 300 to 350 badges, that I know the blog by badge picture, and I like to change it up by visiting new blogs every so often.
I think Entrecard should evolve to allow multiple ad slots and put advertisers in one of the two or four, this way that you can still do badge dropping and your paid people will still have 100% ad time viewed. This satisfies advertisers getting 100% visibility in one badge slot, and your EC bloggers getting 100% at the same time.
I noticed that many people within the first week of Entrecard offering advertising, as I have already approved over 40 ads for my blog, this means an influx of thousands of dollars for the EC network, and I read on the forums that EC Cash Out should be a feature available within a week or two. It will be interesting to see what kind of exchange rate you get on EC Credits for cash.

I have found that I can still surf. When I hit a site with no card, or one I’ve already done, I choose the green arrow from the FF toolbar, with it set to All and Random. That way I’ve found quite a few blogs I’d never, ever seen before. (feel free to visit mine

I will write a post on Friday or Saturday on how effective my Entrecard Advertising purchase was, and I am waiting them to implement the cash for credits system to see how beneficial it is.

It’s definitely a work in progress. I agree the cashout EC transactions will be interesting to see.
