Yes, Entrecard works very well and I didn’t expect Spottt to work as well except I hoped it would be an easy hands-off way to drive more traffic. I had about 700 impressions and 3 clicks before I cancelled, so not bad, but not great. I appreciate that Entrecard gives full control over what the advertisement looks like before it gets on my site. Of course the majority of Entrecard traffic comes through drops, not advertising. It seems that people are good about reading though. I know I’ve found some good and interesting blogs that I’ve been posting on.

Thanks for reading!

Interestingly, I applied to Spottt last month and after three or four days asked about my registration since I never received confirmation. I did get a response from Spottt who said they would look into it. At abut the same time I applied for an AdBrite account (Spottt is a part of AdBrite) I was approved almost immediately for AdBrite, using the same information that got me nowhere with Spottt. Spottt did follow up once more, I was still not approved. The third time they contacted me they sugested I re-register with a different email address. I have not done it yet. My site may be getting too cluttered.
No other exchange program has yet to come close to my results with Entrecard. But then I do work the system in Entrecard. I suppose, as usual, you reap what you sow.

That's appalling to think that the spot network allows such things. Those sites, if allowed, should only be shown on sites of similarity, not on useful blogs and sites that have nothing to do with adult related content. Good thing you ditched them. I was considering using them, but this turned me right off. Thanks for sharing with us. John Ds last blog post..Learn About Your Vistitors

I just put spottt on my blog last night. They haven't approved me yet and I'm getting sick of the pink box... Today, I went to their page and they were having database issues, and now it looks like I may just abandon the idea altogether. Though, I may leave it up until it gets approved so I can confirm that I really want it gone. It's interesting how often you see it though. I put up a vote so I can get some user feedback too. nukeits last blog post..Firefox 3.0.2
