You only realise you’re addicted to something once it’s gone. No doubt hundreds of bloggers are feeling serious Entrecard withdrawal symptoms since the card-dropping system has been down for about 24 hours. So what can you do with all this new found free time?
- Write a blog post. So many Entrecrd blogs haven’t updated in weeks, now is your chance!
- Pre-write more blog posts. For those of us with important events coming up, it always helps to have a little something extra saved away to keep a blog active.
- Post on forums. Go on, meet new people, visit their blogs, drop a comment and interact with a whole new bunch of people.
- Join yahoo! answers and be helpful. You might even be able to drop a useful link.
- Check to see if Entrecard is working yet.
- Re-design your blogs to optimize ad clicks.
- Submit to some directories. Remember the whole ‘backlinks are important’ beliefs you used to have before Entrecard?
- Search Google for the keywords you covet. Just how well are you doing?
- Check Entrecard again.
- Play with the kids or fur-kids. Remember them?
- Go for a walk outside. Remember outside? Count 300 steps if it makes you feel better.
- Play monopoly.
- Talk with your significant other (No, Entrecard is not a ’significant other’)
- Find a significant other.
- Sneak a peek at Entrecard once more, just in case it’s back online.
- Fantasize about the bargain prices your favourite blogs are going to have because nobody has bought an ad on them for days.
- Stress about your blog’s ad price because nobody has bought an ad from you for days!
- Wonder if you might be addicted to Entrecard.
- Look at some lolcats.
- Look at Entrecard one more time.
- Cry yourself to sleep.
- Wake up, repeat process all over again.
Hooked, much?

Fortunately, it looks like Entrecard is back up and functioning pretty well now, so it seems that the outage has simply given us a one-day vacation from our dropping routines. For me this was a welcome break because I managed to log in shortly after the site came back online and was able to scoop up some relatively inexpensive advertising deals.
