Dear All, I would like to ask a question. I know that Entrecard is very famous which make your site have alot of visitors to drop cards. But i just wonder is EntreCard against Google Adsense TOS? Because nobody wants to lose his/her google adsense account just for vistor increasing reason.

do tell me ~

No its not, there are hundreds, if not thousands of blogs which display entrecard and google. Entrecard is used to promote other people's blogs while adsense is used to display advertisements to products or services.

I don't use entercard, but I don't think it is a threat to your adsense account. entercard visitors tend to not stay on your blog long enough to even notice the ads, so you are in good shape

  of course they bitch and moan about them if you have them and it slows down their power dropping.

No it's not against TOS. But it sure will affect your AdSense earning because they will increase Impressions but no clicks.

Although you are allowed to have Entrecard and Adsense together, you will find that the Entrecard community will not click on your ads, they will just drop their cards and then move along not clicking on any ads and thus lowering your CTR.

Well, I also had the same question in mind.
But seems like this thread solved it already, thanks for sharing

So to summarize:

placing EntreCard widgets on a site does not violate Google TOS and can be use in conjunction with AdSense.

Please also note that Codesucker at this time does not endorse EntreCard, he views this as paid links.

  Ever since I got rid of entrecard account, my blogcatalog ranks come up.... Interesting finding.

Roentarre, do you think there is an actual connection there? I'm actually really curious about that now. Blog Catalog definitley brings me a lot more useful traffic than Entrecard does. So if that's the case, then I'll definitley remove my widget and replace it with something else.

  What really made my mind to rid off Entrecard was the annoying addition of some mind boggling advertising service by Entrecard itself. Everyday, I got numerous emails to "approve" the irrelevant blogs that want to be advertised on my blogs.
  
  Ever since I installed the stat analysis offered to premium members in Blogcatalog, I discovered that my bounce rate was rather high with very low average click count within each of my blog. (Can you believe 0.7 click per person?) I realised that I needed to rid of Entrecard widget instead.
  
  Now I am having a much better stats as genuine readers are at least clicking twice in my blog and read the relevant posts, utlising the search function etc
  
  So Entrecard is not really for me. However, it did bring traffic for a young blog or a blog with lower traffic. Beyond that, it is really limited in terms of getting readership. Even in the field of photography genre, not many photo bloggers in entrecard really followed each other...

This is an old discussion but Entrecard is against Adsense TOS because its considered a traffic exchange site
