EntreCard Dismisses Power Droppers

Author Rai    Category Linux     Tags , , , , ,

I received an email today from EntreCard regarding the use of blog pages that contain EC widgets popularly called “Quick Drop Pages”.

Quoting EntreCard Team:

“This message is to inform you that effective July 1, 2008, Entrecard will be purging from its system the accounts of all members currently operating “Quick Drop Pages”. We have assembled a massive list of all quick drop pages, and starting on the above mentioned date, we are going to go through the entire list and close the accounts of all the owners.

To avoid having your account with Entrecard permanently removed, you must take down your quick drop page before July 1. If we open a quick drop page with your widget on it, your account will be removed from Entrecard without warning.

Why are Quick Drop Pages bad?
Quick drop pages devalue our network as a whole, by motivating members to drop on the same, quick loading pages, en masse to gain credits quickly and efficiently. Their traffic is going to these quick drop pages instead of being dispersed among quality blogs. It goes against the spirit of Entrecard, and is essentially a scheme to gain credits quickly.”

Quick drop pages are pages containing EC widget and used as a fast way of dropping cards without waiting for the whole blog to load. The goal of quick drop pages (QDP) are to encourage EC dropping without necessarily loading the contents of the whole blog, hence the name.

OK I admit, I am one of the bloggers who use QDP :D I am not quite sure if anyone uses my QDP, though. Anyhow, I have complied with EC Team and I have taken down the page rather than risking my account status.

If you know anyone who uses QDP, please inform them immediately.
