I’ve been EntreCard dropping all afternoon, and my curiosity is piqued. I’ve discovered so many terrific blogs, and have opened folders so I can EC Drop in on my favorites, and advertise on their sites.
If you have an EntreCard banner on your site, and it’s way down at the bottom ~ my question to you is ~ WHY? Are you afraid someone is going to just “drop and run” without reading your posts?
Or even, WHY is your Entrecard on your About Me Page where I have to hunt for it? Honestly, that’s ridiculous.
It’s the Baby Boomer in me, and we’re always game for a protest ~ so Join the Movement to only “Drop On Top.” Check out the new badge on Top of my EC banner. Join here.
Hat Tip to Posh Moma (where I found the blog for this tip!)
I’m certainly not going to waste my hard-earned EC points that I’ve earned dropping by placing an advertisement on your site where the card is buried at the bottom. Nope. No Way.

I couldn’t agree with you more.
Come on people, put your EC Advert higher on your blog and stop burying the EC Advert among your advertising.

Amen! I totally agree!~ If I have to hunt for the ec… then, I run out of time to be reading and commenting!

I don’t like dropping on blogs with their EC widget way down below too! Great reminder Cindi! Hope u’re having a good day over at ur side of the world!

Cindi, I 100% agree with you and thanks for spreading the good word. One other tip is to be sure to look at the ads you have running each day as I actually had one person move the EC box from the top to the bottom the day I was advertising.
Thanks for the shout out and have a fabulous day. Much love, xoxo-pm

I totally agree with you! There are some, that when I scroll to find their card, they don’t even have one.

Hi! Just EC dropping and browsing. So true.

I agree. Mind is just a tiny bit below the fold and on the right. I also don’t move it around, so that if people drop frequently and have a good memory they will remember where mine is.

I so agree! If I have to look for it, forget it, I probably won’t even bother. But if it’s at the top, I’ll at least read the title of your post and if I find it interesting — like this one — I’ll read the entire post and possibly comment. And I want the ads I buy to be seen, so I’m not going to advertise on blogs where the widget is buried.

I also agree with you I like to read a blog before I drop my card. If it is a blog that dropped on mine I will go look at it if it’s not my cup of tea I will approve their card. But if I didn’t find something to comment on I will not drop my card on theirs.I think that is how it should be done read a blog comment drop your card. After all that is what I am there for to make new blogging friends.

I just started with EC and noticed the same thing. I share the same thoughts.

Mine is about a third of the way down the page, whether it would be above the fold would depend how big a monitor it was being viewed on. It does tend to be level with the comments box though, so I would think it is quite visible.
