Traffic, Traffic, Traffic seems that’s all I think about anymore and since finding out about Entrecard that seems to be all I’ve been doing. It can get tiresome dropping cards especially if you have more than 1 blog. I’ve been reading a lot of different blogs about their likes and dislikes with this unique program and what they have and haven’t gotten from it.
Every one has a different idea about what works, but I still haven’t gotten it worked out for myself. I have tried the power dropping and that goes a lot quicker, but I don’t get to enjoy the blogs. I used the socialcardster blog roll for a couple weeks until I realized half of them weren’t bothering to reciprocate.
Reciprocation is the whole idea or advertising on other sites so you don’t have to drop as much. At this point I am using my drop inbox and going back to page 12 and working my way to 1 sometimes I start on page 14 because many are the same sites on different days and if I get tired I simply whip out the power list and finish it up.
On occasion I use the chain dropping technique, but I think I like the inbox best because those people did take the time to drop on my blog. Since I have a lot of different interests I like looking at blogs from all categories instead of just sticking with the one I’m in. I do leave comments on other blogs, but not everyone I visit. I can’t get over how many blogs there are out there that are devoted to Entrecard alone.
I’m debating on buying credits, it would make it so much easier and I wouldn’t have to drop for three blogs. The problem I found when I went nuts with advertising this past week was advertising on the sites that I want and the price hikes. Also I try not to take it personally when someone declines me because I have declined some myself for various reasons.
I have just been racking up credits since I started with Entrecard and like I said I went nuts and didn’t even check the blogs that I advertised on which was a big mistake, but I wanted to splurge and try advertising. I always approve as soon as possible, but I noticed many don’t. I gave several days for approval and when they weren’t approved I simply canceled. I’m still learning and hopefully I’ll figure it all out soon.
