The “Drop yours” button on the EntreCard Widget must be clicked, right? 2. While clicking the “Drop yours” button, what does the clicker sees? 3. The Advertiser’s Entrecard, ya? So is it safe to assume that the more number of drops a site received, the more exposure that EntreCard widget has. (unless images are prevented from loading) Having said that, please tell me why EntreCard Advertising Cost should not be related to number of drops?</blockquote> Regarding the disagreement about the total complete removal of categories, I agree that I have failed to mention my reasoning behind the disagreement. Perhaps I would mention the reason here now and update my original post. :) The reason is really obvious and simple: I enjoy sitting at the top of the category that my site is in - Hobbies. Along side together with me on the same row are Arywen and Centaku, which I frequent their sites daily to check out for topics which interests me. They might not drop back their card on me everyday, that is fine by me as I understand folks are probably busy with matters in the physical world. Oh and Uncle Sam is currently bidding USD 0.20 for the Project Wonderful Ad Box directly next to my EntreCard while http://ipentimento.com/ is bidding USD 0.30 for the Project Wonderful Ad Box buried in my footer. Cheers! :) Regards, Deimos "Blue Face" Tel`Arin (DTA) @ ahkong.net Dear Gary “Stone Head”,

Actually, I did have a reason for the first disagreement, in fact it published in my post and in the EntreCard forums.

Why EntreCard Advertising Cost should be related to number of drops
1. The “Drop yours” button on the EntreCard Widget must be clicked, right?
2. While clicking the “Drop yours” button, what does the clicker sees?
3. The Advertiser’s Entrecard, ya?

So is it safe to assume that the more number of drops a site received, the more exposure that EntreCard widget has. (unless images are prevented from loading)

Having said that, please tell me why EntreCard Advertising Cost should not be related to number of drops?

I think you'll agree that chaindropping takes place with Entrecard. Chaindroppers are more likely to click on an Entrecard widget. The other day someone who advertised on my site received over 120 clicks. I've advertised on sites outside of Entrecard that get 10,000 hits/day for .30/day and have received 5 hits over three days. Now if you want to argue chaindropping clicks are not as valuable as regular clicks, I'll listen to that argument. When you link PW and Entrecard, you’re equating apples and oranges.
