Making Changes With EntreCard & Do Follow

Wow... It's been over a month since I posted anything on here! I wonder if I have any readers left... lol... Sorry folks... I have been focusing on other projects, making changes and additions to my online endeavors with another new blog and a forum while exploring some different ways of building traffic.

For starters... I have changed the way in which I use entrecard. For quite some time I was dropping 300 cards per day with both of my entrecard blogs and was getting an average of 160 - 170 return drops for each blog per day. It was very time consuming to drop 600 cards a day and although it was generating traffic... it wasn't quality traffic... the vast majority was "drop & run" which only served to bring up my bounce rate... so now... I am being more selective with my card dropping... taking the time to actually read the blogs that I am dropping cards on, and leaving comments when I have something intelligent to say... no spamming. I have also removed my "u drop - i follow" badge because quite simply... I am no longer immediately returning drops... sometimes it takes me a few days now. Of course I have noticed a substantial decline in my entrecard traffic... however it is now of a much higher quality... with people actually spending time on my blog, reading, subscribing and leaving comments.

I have also joined the Do follow movement with all off my blogs so that we can all share some of that "Google Juice"... All Blogger templates, by default, have the Nofollow attribute built into their comments mainly to discourage comment spam. However, by removing this attribute, it encourages people to comment on your blog because they realize that links in comments are being followed by the google spiders. It's acyually quite easy to remove the Nofollow attribute for both comments and backlinks in Blogger blogs.

Increase Your Traffic With EntreCard!

I have just recently signed up for an account with EntreCard and I must say the increase in my traffic is phenomenal! Sign up is free and the increase in traffic is almost instant! It's quick, it's easy and it's fun!

I see it as a blog networking goup, very similar to a business networking group. You create a card that is sort of like an online business card for your blog. When you visit the blogs of other EntreCard members, you can "drop" your card for them, giving them the opportunity to view your blog and also earning you credits for a variety of things such as advertising on other members' blogs.

Other members will also request to advertise on your blog, which earns you even more credits! And; of course you have the right to approve or deny any and all "advert requests. As we all know the key to a successful blog is exposure and targeted traffic and EntreCard provides just that! Check it out for yourself!
