Entrecard falling under pressure

Posted by multippt

Deciding to try Entrecard out, I registered and used it for a while. However, it does appear that Entrecard is getting pummeled to the ground - with traffic increasing almost exponentially, it’s no wonder. Alexa may not be accurate, but it sure shows a nice increasing trend.

Sounds like it’s time for Entrecard to upgrade its servers, for they are now the top 2000 sites (now having half the traffic of Reddit, or the same traffic as Netscape). Entrecard’s now a fad.

Visiting Entrecard will sometimes result in a so-called “maintanance” page. On other times, it doesn’t. Fortunately, even with Entrecard down, the ad system will not go down with it. Thanks to trusty Amazon, Entrecard hosted the entire ad system there, making the advertising network online 24/7, and unbothered by Amazon.

Hopefully, they may release an API (or plugins for that matter) for their ad service…, so that it can make approving ads much faster. :)

So far, things have been running smoothly. Expect an Entrecard review soon.
