Entrecard is great, but indeed it can consume a lot of your time, but it beats some of the other methods for getting traffic at least some people take the time to leave a comment here and there which is the same thing that I do. No one has the time of course to comment on every blog they visit, but some do try if only a short line, but as a blog owner everyone wants the comments to add something to their post not just a hello great blog and you can tell many didn’t even read the post they just say something general that could fit any post.
I find it difficult to delete those post that people are at least trying to say hello and I was here, but I really dislike the ones that don’t even use their name or Internet nickname, but the name of their blog or whatever else they are trying to sell to me that is spam, but some I let through anyhow. I know everyone is trying to advertise their blog and I do understand that and another thing while I’m on the subject, the url that links to your user name is enough you really don’t have to add another link in the post… Thanks.
I still don’t have the program completely figured out yet, but I’m working on it. I have noticed that my Alexa rating is going down some and I like that. Last year it was 400,000 but it climbed way up in this past year. I know it’s not accurate because many people still don’t use the toolbar, I don’t, but for many they still use it as a measuring stick against others to gauge where they compare against other sites and for some reason the compare plugin I was using stopped working.
I have noticed a lot of blogs that are still in the Entrecard system that don’t even have a widget on their blog which is okay because some of those blogs are really good and I wouldn’t have seen them otherwise, but I really don’t understand about all the blogs that are no longer even in existence and why they remain, but as we all know there is no perfection with anything, but this is a program that I’m sure will be around for a very long time.
