I can't provide any information on the spammer(s), but I commend you and HN for keeping on top of stuff like this. Keep up the good work.

Graham Langdon here, the founder of Entrecard.

Sorry for whatevers going on here, but we do not offer ANY affiliate program. No one gets credits, or has ever gotten credits, for anyone signing up. The move was intentionally to avoid link spam of any sort.

I'm interested to get to the bottom of this. Can you forward me some of the links? This is very strange indeed.

But now I can't resist on setting the record straight. We have nothing to do with SEO, we are in no way an MLM, we do nothing with affiliate marketing. The last thing I want is to be associated with that garbage.

We are simply a social network of high quality bloggers, visiting and commenting on each other, driving traffic to each others blogs, and exchanging goods and services with a virtual currency (these credits you keep hearing about). We've hit 1400 on Alexa, we do about 1.5 million widget impressions daily, and were invited to present at WebInno tomorrow.
