		<description>It will be fine. If you ever decide to go back, you can always do that.
Good luck.</description>

		<description>Hi,

I am facing the same issues myself currently.  My own traffic sharing system has proven to work just as good without having to drop constantly and the enormous amount of time it takes.  The paid pads nearly pushed me out.  Now with the sell off of EC, I&#039;m having some serious doubts about the future of EC...

Please have a look at Along for the Ride! and let me know what you think:

		<description>Strength and Fitness Blog -- I did get a lot of visits out of EC and since leaving, I&#039;ve stopped getting new subscribers at the rate I was when I was with EC. But I&#039;m fine with it. I&#039;m less stressed about getting my max drops in and I can concentrate on other things -- like my blog!</description>

		<description>Just stopping by because I also am thinking about dropping EC.  I just don&#039;t think I&#039;m getting much out of EC compared with what I put in it.

I still think EC is great for beginner bloggers who are completely obscure, but once you&#039;ve built up your readers, EC is less valuable.  

I still use Adgitize--it cost a little money, but it is very low maintenance.

		<description>Caledonian Jim -- Thanks for dropping by. I occasionally see your discussion over on the forums and I know you are longing for the old days, too. Yes, I saw a spate of EC exits over the last couple months. I know a bunch of my favorites left, so I feel in good company. Good to see you here.</description>

		<description>The way things are going, if someone forms a network for former Entrecarders, you&#039;ll get more traffic than ever !

		<description>EmmaB -- I&#039;ve seen a pretty steep drop in my daily visits, but I&#039;m OK with it because I&#039;ve seemed to retain my core readership, which was the important thing. I followed you back on Twitter. Oh, and I don&#039;t know who Karen Roe is. Ah, yes. I just looked her up. I know that actress, but no one&#039;s ever told me I looked like her. Maybe if she wore her hair curlier! And thanks, I take that as a compliment.</description>

		<description>I am sure that any people who don&#039;t want to keep reading your blog because you left Entrecard are not valuable to your blog.

I was a member of EC, but never saw your site before. I found your site through Twitter and am definitely subscribing! I love your nice clean layout and writing style.

On an unrelated note has anyone ever told you that you look kind of like Karen Roe (Moira Kelly) from One Tree Hill?

		<description>Alan -- You&#039;re so close to dropping out, you might as well pull the plug. I have seen a drop in visits since leaving, but not so bad that I regret it. I was low this weekend because I think spring has finally sprung everywhere and no one was online. Or, I could be delusional.</description>

		<description>I should remove mine too...I almost never use it. I drop on about 5 people once in a blue moon now...don&#039;t have time. I placed it way below the fold a long time ago. Last summer I dropped 300 twice.......then that was it.

		<description>Musing -- Yeah, it&#039;s definitely time-consuming if you want the most traffic. 

Mystery Man -- Classic commercial!

custom joomla development -- Thanks. I&#039;m seeing a drop in traffic, but only as much as I&#039;d expect by leaving EC. Could have been worse.

A Valdese Blogger -- Thank you so much! Yes, please come back. I loves me my visitors!</description>
