Entrecard What A Shame

First I want to say that I had a great Easter although the weather could have cooperated better.

I have been gone for awhile and since I have gone there have been changes with Entrecard. I have read and watched what other people had to say about it and I have to say that I agree with some of them.

I have all these paid ads to be approved or rejected and the sad thing is that I have never seen them before. They don't drop on your site. I will not approve of paid ads on my sites unless they pay with credits like it is was when it first started out.

What I am tempted to do is make my own list of sites that I like to visit and drop Entrecard altogether but the thing about that is that I would never get to see the great new ones coming up. I would like to hear your opinion on this. I loved Entrecard when it first started because it was a great way to see all these great blogs that I would never known existed before.

Well I guess I am done with my ranting so I guess I am going for now.
I think it is a shame that what started out so great is turning out to be just like any other paid advertising site.

Blogging - Why Do You Do It ?

Blogging is a wonderful thing and I was wondering what motivates one to do it. I started blogging as a way to make money but that's not happening. I blog now for the opportunity to meet people online. I read about what is going on in their lives and realize it is not much different than what is going on in mine.

Do you blog to make money?

Do you blog to meet people?

Blogging makes the world seem smaller. I mean that you have contact with people from Egypt, Malaysia, India, China, Thailand and that is just a few. I will never get to travel to those countries ( unless I get lucky and win the lottery ). You can also come in contact with people from your own neck of the woods that you wouldn't have known they existed if it wasn't for blogging.

Do you have a blog in extension of a professional Website?

Don't get me wrong I still would like to make money but it doesn't consume me that I can't enjoy the view on my way to being successful.

I am not a pushy in your face salesperson. I hate it when I go to a store and I want to look around and this salesperson comes and tries to pressure you into buying something. For some odd reason it has the opposite reaction from me. I will not buy it then.

On the other end of the spectrum when you want to have a salesperson around to ask a question about something then you can't find one.

Where is the happy medium?

So come one come all and tell me what motivates you to blog.

I have all found all types of blogs through entrecard that I really enjoy. I hope that I can give back what I receive through blogging.
