Entrecard reviewed

When you sign up to entrecard, you agree to make a comment as well as drop your card onto the card on another blogger’s site.

I try to make a comment on each site I go to and I don’t do it often. I’m not addicted to entrecard. However, sometimes you just don’t have anything to say about the posts on that particular blog.

A little community builds up which is nice. It’s kind of better than blog catalog for example, because you know they will eventually come back to you, usually.

However, most of my traffic is now coming from entrecard and without comments.  This is not so healthy. I don’t want to rid myself of entrecard but I have deleted blog catalog and Blog Rush for the moment.

How is entrecard for you?

Having so much fun with entrecard

When I learned about Entrecard, I immediately dropped Blog Rush and Blog catalog

So what is it? It’s like a business card. You sign up and make a graphic with print on it representing your own site or blog. You then get the code and insert into your blog as a widget. People can click on it which gives you bonus points and you can click on other sites with entrecard (preferably after reading some of the posts and perhaps leaving a comment) and you get points for that.

Then other entrecard users find you and ask to be an advertiser on your site. If you are reading this you should see another site’s ad on the right. They don’t pay for this. It depends on how many points they have.

Then when you have enough points you can ask a site to advertise your site on their blog. Most of the cards are really attractive.

People can also recommend your site.

I like it because it forces me to check other blogs. However, once you have quite a few ads lined up, which I have now, people have to wait quite a few days to be able to ask if they can advertise on your site. New sites with entrecard often have a one hour wait to be able to advertise on it. The servers seem to need more space. It is only 3 months old and has exploded.

No money involved, just traffic.
