Entrecard’s New Pricing

monkeypong — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 14:39:17 +0000

Finally, Entrecard has changed its pricing, i.e. Entrecard Credit system. Instead of the usual dropping 300 EC per day to earn credits, now it depends solely on the number of advertisers on your site. So, no more abusing the Entrecard by using powerdropping software.

How Does The New Price Work?

The new price starts at 2 credits and double if you have an ad on your site or on the waiting list to be shown on your site. So, if you have 1 ad, the price of your ad will still be 2 credits. However, if you have 2 ads, the price of your ad will become 2 x 2 = 4 credits. If you have 3 ads, the price of your ad will change to 2 x 2 x 2 = 8. In other words, the formula is the power of 2 depending on the number of ads (except if you have 1 ad or none).

If you still have questions after looking at the image above, do check out the questions and answers about the pricing change and myths about the new pricing.
