Entrecard, a blogging community consists of thousands of blogs have introduced paid advertising for the very first time. Can you see our widget in the sidebar titled, “site of the day”? That is antharjalaya.com’s entrecard widget. Until yesterday only bloggers who has the same widget in their blogs could advertise with other blog sites.

But advertising was not measured in monetary terms. It was measured in terms of EC credits. You can use the EC credits in your account to advertise with other networks. It is hard work to earn lot of EC credits. (Time Consuming.)

Now with Entrecard paid advertising, things have gotten much easier for advertisers. And for just $0.02 a click, you can advertise your web site across the whole Entrecard network. If you are paying for impressions the cost is just $0.30 for 1000 impressions.

This is not a paid post or an affiliate promoting post.

I started a advertising campaign yesterday by upgrading my account with just $10. So far, I have received,

14128 impressions
205 clicks
Cost -$4.1

Other than the traffic I received from adspots, there is another hidden traffic source. When you start an adverting campaign, your banner will be sent across the entire network for approval. Most blog owners check the campaign before approving it to appear in their blogs. So, they visit your web site to make a decision. I have received 400+ unique visitors just through this. But I know this will not last long for obvious reasons. Make hay while the sun shines.

I am very happy with the results I got. My adsense earnings has increased. I see an increase in my average daily RSS subscriptions. Around 30 Entrecard visitors have clicked through to my major sponsor’s sites. There were 2 new conversions yesterday resulting $137 income increase. (Commodity accounts at etoro and domain sales at godaddy.) I do not know whether the leads are as a result of my new visitors but the time will tell if there is a significant increase. But, I guess I can’t complain with 600 new visitors a day.

My only complain is that I cannot set daily budgets and only have limited control over where my ad appears. And I am not sure the mechanisms they have in place to tackle common click fraud. I received quality traffic up to now. I will keep you updated on my latest campaign results.

Update 13/04/2009
Entrecard has increased their prices by double to $0.04 a click. I stopped all the campaigns because I can use Google geo targeting for that price. Once again Entrecard has failed to identify their strengths and weaknesses.

If you still wish to make use of this opportunity, here is the link. ( Not an affiliate link.)
