Entrecard Up, Drop Inbox Down

Entrecard Down
Entrecard is up, but Drop Inbox is still down. At this time, there is no way for anybody to check out who has drop when and how many drops were received. I ended up dropping AGAIN on the same sites that visited my blog last 29 January 2011 without them knowing about it.

Even the number of drops made are not recorded. I'm dropping 300 a day, but as you can see above, none of them got acknowledged in the last 2 days since the site came back online.

I already sent a message to Entrecard team awhile back to ask about the problem, but no replies were made. Maybe I should not expect much. But the idea of "reciprocating" those who were kind enough to visit my site and drop their cards on my widget is important to me that I have to try something.

Entrecard dropping is one of those things that is hard to flush out of your system. Since I joined bloggers from all corners of blog-landia dropping, advertising and coordinating with other members of Entrecard, the feeling of reaching the 300 limit and receiving more than that in return has been exhilarating. Nothwitstanding the high bounce rates, the process is so simple that even noobs can easily generate a steady traffic to their sites.

It is, therefore, understandable to see some bloggers try their best to come up with a good system during this "inactive drop inbox" period to enable entrecard droppers to easily make their regular droppings. I'm sure there are lots of techie people who are trying to devise ways to check who drop on them, how many drops were generated and if these are advert clicks or organic clicks.

Are you one of those who are cooking something up?

UPDATE
It seems to be back to normal now. Most probably they have problems with the widget codes or something because they are asking everyone to get their codes again and replace the old one. According to their explanation which can be found in the EC blog, their widget scanner was having problems detecting the Entrecard widgets on our sites.
