That's what I've focused on. My Alexa rank has been steadily increasing, so the higher it gets the higher my bargaining power in terms of advertising. Thanks for the info! Absolutely.

I have to admit that I've been lucky to buy an EC ad on Problogger and two EC ads on John Chow. I just got lucky I guess. Add those sites to your favorites on EC, and then check in the morning (Pacific time) to see whether they have space on their ad queues. Hey Entrepreneur, thanks for the comment.

UNFORTUNATELY- John Chow and Problogger's ad queues are almost always full so unless you have no life its almost impossible to get into that queue.

If the government truly wanted to tax EC credits, I think it'd only be able to when we convert those EC credits into money, (which a lot of people are doing). So that IS an interesting debate. There are people who drop 300 EC cards a day religiously. That's 9,000 EC credits a month! Good question.

Since we get EC credits via dropping, selling advertising or winning a contest (e.g. doing "work" or gaining a prize) should we look at EC credits as income? If so, shouldn't we be taxed on this income? Now here’s a question for you Robert.

You're probably right about Entrecard as a branding tool. The problem is that few people (like you) see it for what it is. Others look at it as a way to build traffic and end up overpaying (in the form of EC credits) for traffic they think they're going to get and don't end up getting. Hey Adam, thanks for the comment.

The people with expensive ads get tons of drops, which means lots of eyeballs on your logo. They may not click your ad, but the logo will seep in subconsciously as they click on the drop button. So the more drops, the higher the price because you're paying for eyeballs to see your logo, not for traffic. I look at entrecard more as a branding tool rather than a traffic or advertising tool.

The Blog Juice Calculator is useful in that it incorporates four different ranking tools (Alexa, Technorati, Bloglines subscriptions, and links). I don't know how valid it is, but it seems useful.
