I’ve noticed there are many spam blogs in the “newer” listings, but you really need not worry, it’s easy to tell which blogs aren’t spammy by the cost of an advertisements. I’m not saying you can’t get a good one for cheap, but I’m mostly saying that you’re not really going to get spammy ones and over 500 ec a pop, that’s where I drop because I find myself often able to comment on a blog/site that someone actually cares about instead of someone just trying to bank off of entrecard’s traffic.
Paul: Yes, that was how I realized something was wrong. I kept getting the same site over and over in my inbox. But it wasn’t the same site, each time it had a diffrent URL.
I came by here yesterday before I went to Entrecard blog fully expecting this to be the next great thing and then after going to the forums and not seeing anything official, I had to come back and reinspect this. How bizarre.
I sure the hell hope Grahm knows what he is doing.
Ok you got my attention again. I see the comment “spammy blogs” a lot lately. What do you folks consider a spammy blog? I always thought that updating regularly and often is what is good.
Regina, there are two main types of spammy blogs. First are made for adsense blogs. Second are landing page blogs. Adsense blogs post crap that ranks them in the search engines so people come to their site, then click their adsense to get away. The content may change, but its always crap. Landing pages try to sell you a product. Often it’s a e-book or a free offer. Both really suck, and EC is full of them. The spam in the picture above are made for adsense sites.
Poor Ben will have to spend a good chunk of time deleting all those blogs from the system. What a waste of time. I’d say blogs need to be checked beforehand, don’t you?
Gary – good point. And if they have done their research before setting up such a thing, well that is just more insidious. All that energy devoted to the dark side, if your correct. I hope not.
I think none, I purposely didn’t link to Entrecard. Graham only reads posts that directly link to EC. It was probably the possibility of losing Ben that caused Graham to act. This isn’t the first time he’s been forced to take charge to clean up a mess of his own making.
Wow, so there are like many education web sites in Entrecard now aye?
Yes, all of them went to the same Card Design school too. Go to their blog, and they all use the same theme.

Great title.
Well that is ridiculous.
At this point, I actually think that screenshot is funny.
What is actually interesting, is that the account you used to get that screenshot dropped on 7 of them.
Paul: Yes, that was how I realized something was wrong. I kept getting the same site over and over in my inbox. But it wasn’t the same site, each time it had a diffrent URL.
I wonder if they are using Mu or something.
Anyone know if they are on different domains, or just subdomains?
I spent a couple minutes trying to figure out the punch line – -
I thought these were the type of sites that were supposed to be deleted from entrecard under the strict new regime directive.
interesting!!!
One pics == 10000 words.
So, we have infection in EC system.
wow! and they didn’t even bother to make each card different..
I call this the Friday laugh-off—Headline is really good..
See! These are not the final day of Entrecard! Look at all the high quality new sites that get past the moderators now.
Personally, I am playing my fiddle as fast as I can.
LOVE that title, Turnip!

And yes, I loved the Title heading as well.

So much for maintaining a high quality standard.
I’m sure they’ll all be deleted in the next few days though.
They will, I reported them all before I posted.

I’m more annoyed that there are so many people who try to scam the rest of the world. Honestly.
Nice interesting pic.
Somebody smart may just use that pic for his/her new spam education blog. Sure to draw controversy.
It took me a moment to “get” the title – but I did – very clever, and very funny. You sure said a lot with just a few words and a screenshot. Bravo!

Thank you join my twitter. Just transfer small token to your EC account. EC is GREAT system but some of them really miss use the system.
I think none, I purposely didn’t link to Entrecard. Graham only reads posts that directly link to EC. It was probably the possibility of losing Ben that caused Graham to act. This isn’t the first time he’s been forced to take charge to clean up a mess of his own making.
thought that was one of those hypnotic images where you’re supposed to find a hidden image somewhere in the cracks
I’m sure they’ll get deleted. No worries
The policies of Entrecard have been changed and got stricter this week. So bye bye spammers.
I love this title too…Turnip!
More proof that EntreCard has become Spam World!
