Recently Entrecard announced users had 5 days to remove quickdrop pages.  Today, Linda asked me if my list of bookmarks was a violation of any new rules.  A related question was asked by Annie: “I wanted to ask you what you think of Entrecard Credit Generator.

One month ago I reviewed the Clickbooth Network and figured it was about time to report on the results.  For thirty days I ran a 460×80 banner under the first post of my site and a rotating 125×125 ad next to my Entrecard.   The ads were shown 18,875 times.  Total number of clicks was 685.  Total number [...]
