Thanks for your valuable comment. You have a lot of credits!
@sadermaxx
Great! You can let everyone know about your blog existence already so that people will start advertising on your entrecard widget.
@hibiki
You can try put the ads code into your blog and then user will come to advertise on your blog eventually. You can speed up the process by clicking “drop” card on other people’s blog. You will earn credits by doing this. When you approve their ads, you will earn credits after their ads run for 24 hours. Credits will be used to advertise on other people’s blog who has entrecard widget installed. Good luck, hibiki!
