What Happened To My E-Card ?

Until I checked my dashboard on entrecard, I was in the dark about the paid ads I had been reading about.
Well, I should have kept up with the forum because I had a lot of catching up to do. It seems that now the paid ads that you accept will show in a rotation on the widget you place in your sidebar along with the bloggers that pay you credits to have their site shown
With the ability to only drop 300 cards, what are the chances that I see the ad displayed from the original blogger that bought the space for the day ? For that matter, what are the chances that my ad will appear on I site that I spent credits for ?
I am a team player, and I want to do my part to help keep Entrecard going, so I will allow the paid sites on my blog. Hey, we had it for free all this time, and I am sure many of us found some great traffic to our sites, and found some great new blogs in the process
Entrecard still looks like a great way to get some traffic, and possibly another way to monetize your blog, so for now I guess I will participate in the new system, maybe I will make enough to buy myself a new Ford Superduty : )

Free Mortgage And Budget help

With all the economic problems people are having, and the condition of the housing market, this may seem like a strange thing to say, but right now is a great time to buy a house.

The rates are low, and it is a buyers market. Banks are holding homes and want them gone

I was recently looking through the real estate sites for some waterfront property that was going for a good price, and on a listing that caught my eye there was a mortgage calculator, so I clicked it and stumbled on a great site to get all your finances in order to prepare to buy a home

https://www.quizzle.com/

Quizzle is a free service that takes all your information, and shows you what you can afford. It also shows you what you can do to afford more

It has a link that can get you to your credit report, and helps you to dispute inaccuracies on your report.

This is the best free site I have ever found
