Unless you have been living under a stone you have already heard about BlogRush. And unless your neighbor’s names are Fred and Barney you must have heard about Entrecard? 
These two credit system gives you opportunity to advertise your blog by earning and spending credits. John Reese’s BlogRush hit the blogosphere in Sept 2007 soon after its launch it went into major maintenance and when BlogRush was busy in sweeping drainage created by some superfluous sites registration Graham and his team develop this very catchy concept of Entrecard. Here is how both credit system works.
BlogRush is a Cooperative Syndication Network. Its a network of blogs that run a small widget on their pages. Each time this widget is loaded it will contain 5 clickable headlines which are the blog post titles to other user’s posts. Clicking on any of these links will open a new browser window and load the blog and full post. Users earn syndication credits based on each time their blog loads the widget as well as each time any of their referrals (users that signup after clicking the add your blog posts link on the widget) loads the widget. They also earn additional credit based on all the activity through 10 generations of referrals. 1 Syndication Credit = having one of their recent blog post titles served inside the widget on another member’s blog.
Entrecard is the first and only free exchange network for 125X125 ads. Through this revolutionary platform, you can advertise your own 125X125 Entrecard on any blog in the network, for free, for a number of days. You pay for this advertising with Entrecard Credits that you earn for free by networking (a.k.a. visiting blogs and dropping your card for other bloggers). This guide will explain quickly and easily the different features and functions of the Entrecard website and network.
With Entrecard taking the blogosphere by storm many blogger start writing commiseration statement for BlogRush. I see two very common weaknesses in BlogRush First its not very easy to understand second the credit you earn allows your post title appears another member’s blog, but frankly speaking I haven???t come across any blog displaying my post title on its BlogRush widget (Though I have very little credit in my account but it more then what I have in my Entrecard credit account). On the other hand bloggers response to Entrecard is extensive and they found it very easy method to advertise their blog on their favorite high traffic blog. One more thing you take complete control on which blog your advertising widget will appears, what else one can ask for. Definitely BlogRush has to make some serious efforts save its existence otherwise soon it will become a history. Given a choice I will choose Entrecard , What you says?
