I posted a couple of weeks back about advertising with Entrecard. All I wanted was advertising only, no adding a widget to my blog, no time commitment dropping card, nothing other than advertising. I signed up as a sponsor on Entrecard then paid my $10, uploaded my ad and waited for the outcome. The $10 was enough for my ad to run from April 7 to 15, so about 8 days. I received 165 visits at a CPC of $0.0606. So how does this compare to the other blog advertisers?
Adgitize costs $14 for a 31 day ad that will give about 54 visits per day for a total of 1,581 per month at a CPC cost of $0.0088. CMF spike give 50 hits for 20¢ at a CPC of $0.004. Some TEs will get the CPC down to about $0.0015. In perspective then Entrecard is the highest priced blog advertising. I can't say it was any more effective than Adgitize or CMF both of which are extremely effective. What I can say is even as advertiser only Entrecard did result in a slight increase in bounce rate on the tested blog. In all honesty I was happy with the way the ad worked but the bottom line is running an ad on Entrecard is a bit too expensive. This will be a resource I keep available for running special promotions from time to time but not one I use on a regular basis.
