These some tips for Entrecard Publisher i got from Turnip of Power :

Tip #1. Make sure your entrecard is being displayed on your front page. I’ve found several sites with no entrecard code at all. Worse than the slow loaders, you wait and wonder “what was this person thinking?” Sometimes people think they will lower their ad price by keeping you from dropping cards, but they simply discouraging advertisers who visit.

Tip #2. Put your entrecard above the fold. This means when someone views your page, they should not have to scroll down to find your entrecard. I violate this rule sometimes myself on tech.turnipofpower.com because the site is designed for a widescreen browser. If someone views the site in a low-res non-widescreen monitor, the ads revert from double to single and go below the fold.

Tip #3. Put your entrecard code early in your template. Don’t load your entrecard script after your slow javascript ads. People will become frustrated and leave. The faster a card loads, the more likely I am to look around the site. A couple of times I even checked to see who their webhost was.

Tip #4. Don’t Put too many ads and widgets on your site. Besides making your site load slowly, it looks like crap. For WordPress, get the AdRotator, a plugin that will allow you to rotate any amount of ads that fit the same dimensions. Alter the code so that you host the image file on your server instead of having to load it from the merchant.
