I'm going to run a paid campaign on Entrecard. 2 cents per click is really a good deal, especially for banner ads. But there's another benefit I didn't even think of--free traffic and clicks!
Here's what I mean:
As soon as I started running my ad I saw this when I checked statcounter:
If I understand this correctly, these are clicks from members deciding whether or not to approve my ad. I imagine they clicked my EC button before they left (that's what I do if a potential advertiser is an EC member). I assume these clicks don't count against my pay-per-click, so it's extra free traffic.
I never thought about this before, but this is another nice perk of running a paid campaign on EC.

no one is really sure if you had to pay for those clicks or not, it's been on the forum a lot, but not answered that I've seen, although I haven't checked in the past few hours.
