I think people commenting is more important because that is the result of your work. I agree with sites that may not have many readers, but have a ton of comments.

The Entrecard folks are smart people :) Any algorithm for calculating the cost of ads that would take other factors into account would be simply stupid. It would mean that a site which has, say, 100K subscribers and millions of views can put the entrecard widget somewhere where nobody ever sees it, nobody ever dropped anything there, they wouldn't bother dropping cards either, but still because their other factors are so high it would cost a ridiculous amount to advertise there. Entrecard folks already figured these things out, that's why the algorithm is as it is. It's probably not perfect, but I can't think of how it can be improved. It surprises me that someone can think their ad should worth more just because they have more RSS subscribers. He he, it's not even real money :) Anyways, as I said mate, don't worry, be happy. It's the best thing you can do for your health ;) Mate I wouldn’t worry about it, at least not about the RSS subscribers. The Entrecard folks are smart people :)

But for EC I agree with you because some sites have such a high RSS count but NO comments and few page views. A lot of sites I read I only read on Google Reader and do not go to the site unless I feel the need to comment. I think the system is perfect how it is right now. I see it from both sides.
