What I have read in the FAQ’s at Entrecard, and my own experience bears it out, is that the EC cost to advertise on a site is not proportionate to that site’s traffic. It is based on how many sites they drop on.
For this reason, as you consider what sites to advertise on within Entrecard, make sure you go through to the actual site and measure either it’s Technorati rating, or Google PageRank, etc. That will be a much better indicator of whether they are worth your EC credits for a day of advertising. I have found dozens of blogs with a zero rating on the two sources mentioned and yet cost 3-400 EC’s to advertise. A blog like that probably is either brand new or doesn’t have much content. All the high EC’s show is that they either have the clicking system gamed with a program or something or they have enough spare hours in the day to click and click and click.
For this reason, look for the low EC “diamonds in the rough” that have a high rating on the sources mentioned. I recommend making them your favorites, then you don’t have to search for them everytime it’s time to buy. Their EC cost will stay low unless they start clicking all day long which most good serious bloggers don’t really have time to do I think. I am planning on clicking less. Having a high EC cost really isn’t of much worth. What do you think of this tip?

That is very useful info - I wasn’t sure how they came up with their figures!

@Chelle: It’s taken me some time to figure it out but it seems to be strictly based on how many times a person drops as to how high their score is. It is not affected by quality of blog or level of traffic.
Except they are changing how their pricing is calculated today…

I’m so agree with you. Many sites that has low ranking with the high EC credit to advertise on them. And I think it’s not worth it.

yeah, I wonder how the cost change will affect the advertising now. I saw some sites with a cost of 16k. that’s pretty hilarious.
