Puttting the dog down! (Spottt Widget)

spottt

I am so fed up of Spottt (Widget) now! Here are a few reasons why!

  • 6000 impressions in the week I have been with it… 20 hits back!
  • No control over what is displayed!
  • No control panel…
  • No control who my advert is put on… Or can I find out who it has been on
  • Website and widget always going down
  • It looks stupid!
  • Stupid name!
  • Waste of space!
  • Entrecard kicks it in the dogs balls!
  • Do I need to list more?!

I wanted to use this widget and love it… I thought it would be a good idea! But all it has done is crash and leave a big blank space, make my side bar bigger, steal Entrecards design, and annoy me!

SO its time to put this Dog down! I would normally never harm a animal and do not normaly agree with putting animals down… But sometimes it can not be helped!

    Hi Lee,
    This post gave me a great laugh! I really enjoyed the picture. I posted a link to this post in Bloggeries where I posed a question if anyone was having luck with spottt.

    I had thought about checking Spott out but I think I will stick to EC. Good group of people and I’m getting traffic. Can’t ask for more than that.

    Hm, ain’t understand anyfing ///

  5. steve Says:

    good points mate. I looked into it after success with EC and came to the same conclusions. Another thing was i could sell the same space and get money for it.

    Couldn’t agree more. Signed up and within an hour of said signup, got fed up and kicked em to the curb. Not good.

    I am yet to hear of anyone who really likes Spot. It seems that Entrecard is a much better choice. I signed up for spott awhile ago and they never sent me the confirmation email, when I went to look for help it was just too much of a hassle, so I never bothered. lol. I think I am glad, it sounds like it’s kind of junk.

    I actually found your blog via a spott link on another blog, but I’m with you. I have the widget on my site too and I cant work it out or their stats!

    Entrecard beats it hands down!

    BTW…neat blog :)

    Great site - love the photos of the gorgeous children. Good on you! and by the way - Yes you can get away with shooting this dog!

  10. Ian Says:

    Great picture! I didn’t bother with Spott, given most of what I’ve read has been negative, or lukewarm at best.

  14. Bob Says:

    I’ve leaving it there until I’ve got my redesign done but suffice it to say it hasn’t got a place in the new theme.

  15. lankapo Says:

    heheh don’t be too cruel my friend, I believe your son will be sad, looking at the picture

    I do agree EC is much better than Spottt (yup triple T)

    but it a nice cute puppy, so I just decide to keep it

    p/s
    how old is your son? my daughter is 4 months old

  16. nick Says:

    haha nice one. I’ll still continue using spot though, but I’m thinking to dispose it.. hmm what should I do? :D

    BTW, love your blog, can you donate this theme to my blog haha

    good day! :D

  17. Lee Doyle Says:

    My Son is now just over 1 and a half. Ive not seen him for close to a year now so they are the only pics I have.

    Your right about the pics though…. But some puppy’s have to put down no matter how cute they are…

  18. Glenn Says:

    for me i just stick to entrecard! :)

  19. Gimme A Dream Says:

    I have the widget on my site and I don’t pay it any attention. I do pay a lot of attention to EntreCard, so I guess that speaks volumes on its own. I haven’t noticed the site crash, though sometimes the ‘look’ changes quickly and other times it could be days. I guess that is the crash. I’m not going to remove it yet, because the blog is still with blogspot and I’m preparing a turn over soon.

    This is interesting what others feel about Spottt and because of this article I will definitely give Spottt another look see.

    [...] talks about why the site is fed up with spottt. It gave me a chuckle. Heres a link to the post: Puttting the dog down! (Spottt) | Lee Doyle - Contains Nuts Looking at the picture alone is worth it! __________________ Tim The Money Kings - RULE your [...]
