Someone above asked for some actual numbers. I run Spottt on my website http://www.cellfanatic.com and here are my results for the past 2 weeks:

Your image was shown:
98,958 times on other sites
and got 33 clicks.

Your site earned:
109,242 credits

For every click you give, they multiply your impressions. So for instance Monday I earned 2952 impressions and gave 6 clicks, that gave me 8856 credits (or times my image could be shown on other sites). Basically they put an incentive to have you position the Spottt in a high click area on your site.

You sound like you’ve tried it. But how about some numbers? Like how many referrals did you get with your traffic. Thx.

…is so Spottt will work on sites that don’t support Javascript, such as MySpace profiles and Blogger posts.

Entrecard only seems easy to game, but usually anyone who tries to gets all their credits zapped. It’s funny watching these people cry foul in the forum.

Anyway, the thing I love about Entrecard as opposed to spot is:
1.) You can use the credits you accumulate to buy graphic design, diggs, stumbles, other advertising, wordpress themes, and more in the shop.

2.) You manually approve every ad to run on your site with Ec. Spottt gives you absolutely no control over the ads on your site, Entrecard gives you complete control.

3.) Everyone in the Entrecard network is a blog of decent quality. There’s all kinds of junk in the spot network.

4.) Entrecard allows smaller bloggers like me put in effort and reap thousands of hits. To get a benefit from spot, you have to be big already, or sit around and wait for your site to get more impressions.

Just my 2 cents

Thanks for stopping by Pud - why wouldn't you create multiple versions like most other embedders do? So you'd have one js version for everyone except those who can't handle the JS?

Also, any comment on whether the tag is required?
