Make Entrecard Work For You

I have recently joined Entrecard and already I am on my way to joining the ranks of Entrecard Anonymous. I like the idea of working hard for your Entrecard credits to afford advertising in other people’s sites. It’s also a very good source for traffic. Some Entrecard members are conscientious enough to always drop back– to the uninitiated with the Entrecard ways, it means they check out who dropped them an Entrecard and proceed to visit that site and drop theirs as well.

For the past days, I have been dropping cards at the rate of 150 a day; I know, I know, an Entrecard addict in the making. There are some things I’ve noticed though in the course of my ‘droppings’ and these things I would like to share with you just in case you happen to overlook these things.

1. Place your Entrecard widget at the bottom of your blog. Some bloggers put their Entrecard widget right on top of their blogs. While this is very helpful for Entrecard bloggers, this does nothing to help your blog. Most of the speed droppers would open a whole batch of Entrecard member blogs and just wait for the Entrecard widget to open up so they can drop their card. The moment your widget appears, they click on the button and close your blog. They wouldn’t even wait to see what kind of posts you have. I suggest that you put your widget right to the bottom of your blog. This way, droppers will have to scroll down to get what they want. Make them work a little. In the process, if you have really cool posts, they may even notice it while they’re scrolling down and stop on their tracks to read.

2. Keep on the lookout for DoFollow blogs. As you perform your usual card dropping excercise, it’s good to be aware of the blogs you’re opening. Although you may only be interested in getting Entrecard credits so you can advertise, don’t miss out on the little things. A lot of blogs actually have the DoFollow plugin in their site. Take time to check out their posts, if there’s one that you can relate to, you may want to leave a comment. DoFollow blogs are very good opportunities for increasing your backlinks which leads to easy blog reactions in Technorati and could also drive traffic to your site.

That’s it folks! Enjoy your Entrecard experience.

    Hi technojavi,

    You have described the habit of a lot of entrecard droppers. But I do view the posts and occasionally leave comments on the posts I fancy. Thanks for the tip and the reminder.

    By the way, the templates are very nice. Thanks for this tip too. –Durano, done!
